Subject: | Re: TINY LED beacon |
Final installation update:
I tested the beacon after completing the installation. They are very bright and
look great. Unfortunately I found they have extremely poor RF filtering, something
I should have tested before installing them. The strobes interfered with
both of my comm radios making them useless. I tried some ferrite beads and active
DC low pass power filters but nothing lowered the interference to an acceptable
level. every time the strobes flashed, both radios broke squelch with a
loud noise. I will be removing it from my airplane before I fly.
These might be great for ultra-light, powered hang gliders or things that don't
have radios, but not for my airplane. Live and learn.
