Subject: | Placement of Satellite weather antenna |
I've been having problems getting a good signal on my satellite weather
receiver. I downloaded a data-logging file of my last flight and sent
it to Grand Rapids for analysis. They said that I'm only getting a good
signal when facing a heading of 25 to 75 degrees.
I have a 7A with a slider, and have mounted the satellite antenna on the
glare shield, right up against the windscreen. It's next to my GPS
antenna and I have no problems signalwise with it. Does anyone have a
suggestion as to where to mount the antenna for a better view of the
sky?

Try just moving it away from the GPS antenna....that may be the whole
problem.

Tim, ok I'll move it and see what happens. Thank you. But for my
education, why would proximity to my GPS antenna create a problem?

Well, it's been seen before with other antennas on the glareshield,
where even a 496 antenna may interfere with another antenna. And
and active antenna may actually be putting out a bit of noise.
Yeah, it's receive only, but it's just not unheard of that the
antennas can interfere. When I went to install my Wx and GPS
antennas on the cabin top, they specified 12" minimum separation
between them in the install docs. I'm not saying that for your
particular case that it will fix it....but it's a real quick
thing to test before you get too far into tearing things up.

Subject: | Burning up Van's Engine Instruments because? |
All was well Saturday after 3 hours of flying my RV 8 for Kids Flying event, but
on taxi back to hanger my Vans Voltmeter melted. Today I checked main bus (running)
show 14.2 volts and (not running) 12 volts.
Started intending to check , Ammeter shows normal. But melted my Oil Temp Today
and Manifold Pressure is hot to touch. Seems they are melting at the circuit
board power but beside the Ground screw.
I see no obvious loose grounds.....any suggestions?
