Hi All,
following the chat here about supressing radio noise.
I have been digging through the usual pile of `may come in handy one
day` equipment and I found a block of plastic about (1" 3/4 X3/4"X1/2")
with a wire protruding. The packet is marked `Suppression capacitor
4.7mFD for Alternators`
The plastic block has a fairly substantial metal tongue with a hole in
it. About quarter of an inch dia.
The protruding wire is green and has, on the end, a metal tag of much
thinner material , also with a hole through it.
Apart from the fact that it obviously meant to be bolted to something at
either end and that at a guess mFD means microfarads i am totally at a
loss.
Does this sound as though it might be what is needed to cut engine
noise.? i have a 4 stroke Jabiru. If it will work , where do I fit it?
As you may have guessed I am totally ignorant of electrical stuff, and
most engineering if it comes to that.
Help!
Pat

Pat, It sounds awfully light. Rotax recommends 2000 micro farads, I use a
20000 micro farad on my Mk III based on the recommendations of the
Aeroelectric connection which is also here on the Matronix forums. I'd
recommend you do some research on the Aeroelectric Connection. Bob Nuckolls
has been doing avionics for the major general aviation manufacturers here in
Wichita, KS for decades. If anyone can explain the ins and outs of why a
capacitor is necessary and what it does, it's him.

Aslo, is this something everyone should do (that uses a radio), or do you
think only on a "as needed" basis?

Yes... everyone should consider it. It will smooth out the electrical
noise in the system. One other thing that you can do is to take an old
film canister, or pill bottle. Cut a small piece of tubing that will run
from end to end, wrap a wire around the tubing, and slide it into the
canister. This will work as a resistor to voltage spikes by preventing a
spike from going straight through. And when there is a voltage drop, it will
try and keep the electricity flowing more evenly. A lot of your high end
car stereos will have these installed on the main power lead.

Pat,
That little "m" stand for "milli". What you have is a 4.7 milliFarad (4.7mFD) capacitor.
This equates to 4700microFarads (4700FD), still shy of the 20,000FD
recommended above.

| Subject: | MkIII antenna location |
Hi gang=2C
I'm currious where those of you with aircraft radios located your antenna
. I will be using an Icom A200 panel mount radio=2C and I'm pondering wher
e the best place would be to locate the antenna.
It seems like everywhere I think of=2C there is a logical reason NOT to p
ut it there!!
I have an idea where I might install it=2C but I wanted to hear where oth
ers have put there's=2C first.
Oh yeah. I made one of those dipole antennas that Scott shared with us.
(actually=2C I made three. I figured it isn't that much trouble to make
more than one=2C while I was at it.)
Although I mentioned the MkIII in the heading=2C as long as you have a pe
rmanent mount antenna on any Kolb airplane=2C I'd like to hear from you. (
even you lurkers....if your radio works good. If your radio doesn't work w
ell=2C keep lurking :-) )

Mike W/Gang:
Was trying to keep this a secret, but will share it with you and the
rest of the herd.
On my Firestar and my MKIII the antenna is mounted under the nose pod
with a 45 degree bend aft.
Worked on the FS and continues to work on the MKIII.
The antenna is a stainless steel whip ELT antenna. Back when I bought
these antennas they could be had for about 15.00 each. Now they are 3
to 4 times that much.
I upgraded from an A3 to an A6 ICOM, a little over 200.00, because the
A6 had adjustable side tone volume. After installation, discovered the
side tone was picking up all the cockpit noise and transmitting it as
well. My transmissions were unreadable. After much frustration and
experimentation, discovered if I turned the side tone volume completely
off, and used the side tone on my intercom, my transmission problems
were solved.
As I get deafer I was also looking for more volume from the radio. The
new A6 did the job. I can hear again.
I also bought a mic muff cover from Oregon Aero. It is a foam muff with
a snug fit naugahyde slip on cover. There is a small hole on each side
for voice and ambient sound. Not sure if it is working or not because I
did the no side tone volume and mic muff upgrade at the same time.
James Tripp has some also. We plan to experiment with them to see if
they, in fact, do reduce cockpit noise being picked up by the mic.

I remoted my Icom A24's original rubber duck antenna, mounting it under the
cockpit (between the UltraStar's stock fuel tanks) pointing straight
down. I can hear everybody and others report they can hear me just fine.
Haven't figured out what I'm going to do when I move change the tank
configuration and put a cargo box where the current tanks are.

I flew my Mark 111 Xtra for the first time tonight. I need to do a few adjustments
but it was a great flight. I plan to be at Sun n Fun Friday and Saturday.
Hope to see some of you there...

Congratulations. We are going to want details on your flight. Bring photos
of your plane to Sun-N-Fun.
I'm heading for Sun-N-Fun some time in the next few days. We have some nasty
weather popping up so it is all dependant on getting a break. It is looking
like the weather is good after Tuesday for the rest of the week but the
weather people are being challenged more than normal.
