    Gotcha...I was thinking about the waxed lacing tape that I used for my rib lacing. I used it firewall rearward for wire bundles, and plastic ties firewall forward.

    Subject: lacing tape
    It's not the tape it's the adhesive that can weaken in the relative warm of the engine compartment. That is one of the reasons you will seldom if ever see a roll of electrical tape in an A&Ps tool box. Most adhesives can become soft and gooey with the heat the compartment can endure while sitting on the apron while you are having one of those famous $100.oo hamburgers.

    Subject: Re: Transponder Radio Noise?
    Standing Wave Reflection. It is caused if there is a problem with the transmitting antenna and some of the power being pumped into that system is reflected back to the output transistors. Most of what you have to know is antenna systems are designed and tuned to have as low an SWR as is possible. (less is better!) If there is a break in the center conductor of the coax or corrosion under the antenna etc the SWR will climb...and climb. This puts a lot more pressure on your output transistors and they can even burn out. Electronic devices are not too bright. Give them a job to do and they will do it. Make the job harder and the just try harder and harder to do the job until they eventually burn themselves up. Electric motors are that way and so are antenna systems. If you are getting a buzz when the XPNDR (transponder) is transmitting then the problem is probably either in the Xpndr itself or in the antenna system. Being that most modern electronic devices are pretty much fool proof the only place to look for problems is in the connection to the plane in this case that is the antenna. Once you have your antenna, the coax and the connectors completely checked out then you may have to spend a few dollars to have the Xpndr checked out. I did say they were pretty much fool proof this is true but there is always the 10% of the time that grounds are not the problems. BTW do you notice any lowering of voltage or increase in current used when the Xpndr is transmitting? Several times in the past I've seen RMI (Radio Magnetic Interference) problems that were fixed by the installation of additional grounds. No one can quite figure out why but it did work. One of those things was on a coast guard rescue boat. They have depth sounders and VHF (Very High Frequency) radios similar to the ones on planes. Every time the sounder made a ping a loud click went through the radio. Attaching a heavy duty grounding strap to the depth sounder cured the interference. Note: the unit was grounded to spec before but the extra ground caused the clicking to stop. I think I would try a ferrite ring with a few of turns of the hot wire to your radio on it. Be sure to wrap it with heat shrink so it can't ground and cause a little static of its own. I'd be surprised if that will work because the power supplies of the radios are pretty well filtered inside the boxes. Clear as mud??

Noel, What is SWR? I told you I am not an avionics guru so some of these acronyms are not familiar to me. By the way, the plane is virtually brand new and there is not corrosion. I did remove the antenna and checked anyway and even sanded and brightened up the metal again. There is good ground between the airframe and the antenna and I have had this problem since day one. I have pretty much ignored it to this point as the buzz is not really noticeable while flying due to cabin noise and ATC has never said anything about it so I don't think they hear it. I think I will try the ferrite option as it is inexpensive and easy. Here is the question though...Where should I attach the ferrite cores? On the antenna side or the Tx side? Or should I put them on both the radio and the Tx? Lowell, I ran all my power, grounds and other wires on the Right side of the fuse...the Tx cable is in the center and the radio cable is on the left side. -------- Darin Hawkes Series 7 914 Turbo Kaysville, Utah Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=243493#243493

    You can also go over the ends with a couple of swipes with a piece of sandpaper. Unfortunately most people just reach in with the sidecuts and when they hear the click of the end cutting off that's as far as it goes. I have the scars to prove it does happen. Like a lot of homebuilders who are not under time constraints you no doubt take the time to make your trims properly. Once gashed twice leery. I like the Koroseal lacing cord. It keeps things nice and snug without allowing any wearing of insulation. You can't be cut with it and the chances of cutting a wire in a bundle while removing it are a lot lower. Basically I use it like wax chord (tape, string etc.) in the engine compartment.

    Bob, The tape comes in Nylon and Polyester. Consider that the tie wraps some are recomending are nylon, I don't see a problem. I read a forum piece on another site where one of the guys said he had tried them both and he perferred Nylon. I personally don't think it makes any difference as far as security goes. I use Polyester simply because a guy on this forum got a hold of a lot of it surplus and offered it at a great price.

    Darin, It sounds like you have done everything right. You may get another thought on this, but it is my understanding that the ferrite cores are placed over the power leads rather than the antennas to eliminate any noise passing into the unit from those feeds. SWR stands for Standing Wave Ratio. Personally, and this is my opinion only, I don't think it would be a problem in your case as you are likely using off the shelf antennas and mounted to the factory mounting pads. If there was a problem in either of these areas, your noise situation would be more common. SWR becomes a problem when you use antennas of the wrong length. The desired length has to do with the frequency you are transmitting.

    Yeah, I used to use every day side cutters, too, and often gashed myself. Then I learned about the very small electronics snippers made by Crescent. They don't bevel both sides of the cutting edge, just one side. Thus you can cut right up close to the "fat" part of the tie wrap, and all but eliminate any sharp edges. I'll have to look into the Koroseal stuff.

    Nylon is a lot faster to install and it does give a good mechanical hold. That's not my beef with it... being sliced on several occasions is and of course those slices although not as deep as a knife blade would make they are a lot more painful and there is the slight matter of all the blood dripping everywhere. I sure wish I'd seen the surplus sale.. The polyester can be a little on the dear side. I'd love to see nylon ties do a clean job like this that you could pull a cloth over.
