      FROM THE INSTALL MANUAL 
      
      
        Dear Listers,
        I'm needing the above subject info to scout-out the reason my MX11 VHF 
      cannot be heard loud and clear.  It's the same radio as the Narco Com11 
      so they say.
      
        The radio transmissions are received "loud and clear".  
      
        The intercom is crystal clear front and back seats.  
      
        Radio checks reveal "you're loud and clear" but they sound like they 
      are coming through a mile long pipe .... clear but very weak.  
      
        The Avionics Place at Rockford airport is getting good response on 
      their bench with their test equipment for both xmit/receive.  
      
        The problem is in the aircraft wiring somewhere.  
      
        Any ideas, hunches, experiences that solved such a problem?
      
        Can anyone email an extract of the install manual?
        My thanks to all on this List,
        Jerry

      I make carpet for a living (OK, I'm an engineer for the world's largest 
      carpet manufacturer)...
      
      I don't think carpet is suitable for that application. There is the 
      potential for too much heat, too close.  Carpet isn't designed for the 
      temperatures you would get on the cockpit side of a firewall where there is 
      a fire on the other side.
      
      Besides, carpet is heavy.  If you're looking for insulation against noise 
      and heat, you'll do better with a purpose designed product.
      
      Just my $0.02.

      A number of certified aircraft use an insulated blanket on the firewall.
      They have to contend with the flammability requirements for firewall
      materials. The burn specs for material in contact with the firewall is
      different than materials used on sidewalls and seats. It's not super
      stringent, just a step up. Of course we don't technically have to follow
      that but it's something to consider when choosing the material, whether
      insulation or carpet. I'm sure there's wool carpeting out there that meets
      the firewall spec. That said, the challenge would be getting around all the
      firewall penetrations and structure. I think a lot of folks use the aluminum
      backed insulation to piece it together and secure it with aluminum tape.
      With carpet, you'd want it removable in the event of a brake fluid leak or
      such. If you're up to it there's no reason not to.

      I was at my daughter's graduation in the staduim at the University of 
      Kansas today and 3 RVs with smoke did a formation fly over.  I would 
      like to say thank you !  I just really added to a perfect day.
