:-)
If you received this particular Matronics List Email message, its because you haven't
yet made a Contribution to support your Lists! This is the first PBS-like
funds drive message under the new distribution system. The new system selectively
sends out the Contribution messages ONLY to those that forgot to whip
out the 'ol credit card this year to support the continued operation and upgrade
of the Matronics Email Lists! Don't you wish PBS worked that way? :-)
You heard that right. Once you make your Contribution, these support requests
messages during November will suddenly stop coming to your personal email inbox!
Pardon me if I seem kind of excited about the new feature. I've wanted to
implement something like this for a number of years now, but it was always such
a daunting task to modify the back-end List processing code, that I just kept
putting it off. Finally this year, I just decided to bite the bullet and put
the code-pounding time it to make it work. A few days later, bam! A working
system!
Anyway, I'll stop gushing now. I really do appreciate each and every one of your
individual Contributions to support the Lists. It is your support that enables
me to upgrade the hardware and software that are required to run a List Site
like this. It also goes to pay for the Commercial-Grade Internet connection
and to pay the rather huge electric bill to keep the computer gear running
and the air conditioner powered up.
Your personal Contribution matters because when combined with other Listers such
as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept exactly
ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics Lists sites. I can't stand
the pop-up ads and all other commercialism that is so prevalent on the Internet
these days and I particularly don't want to have it on my Email List site.
I'm pretty sure you don't either.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution today to keep it that way!!

| Subject: | Clarification On New Contribution Module Operation... |
Dear Listers,
A number of Listers emailed and indicated that, even though they had made a Contribution
this year, they still received the Contribution message yesterday.
I looked into it and I found a slight anomaly (ok, bug) in the new code specifically
as it related to Listers that had made their Contribution through PayPal
AND have a DIFFERENT email address for their PayPal account and for their Matronics
List subscription.
If your PayPal account email address is DIFFERENT than the email address you are
subscribed to the Matronics List(s) as, then my new code module couldn't tell
that you had made a Contribution, since it was using the PayPal email address
instead of the List email.
I've fixed this issue for any new PayPal Contributions, but I don't have any easy
way of resolving this for any of the previous Contribtuions. Again, this is
ONLY an issue if your PayPal and Matronics List email addresses ARE NOT the
same. Otherwise, everything works great.
If you made a PayPal Contribution before 11/09/06 AND your email addresses don't
match, please drop me an email at " info@matronics.com " (do not reply to this
message!) and give me your Name, and both Email Addresses and I will manually
update the records so that things will work as advertised.
Sorry for the hassle! New code; new bugs... :-)

Sure....
You've got some resistance on the wire between the radio and the
battery. That is assuming that you have the radio connected, and are
measuring the voltage from some point that feeds the radio. If you want
to prove this premise, remove the radio from the mount, and then read
the voltage again. If it jumps up to 28 volts with the radio removed,
and drops to 3 volts with the radio installed, that is without a
doubt... your problem. To find the problem, simply take your voltmeter
(with the radio installed) and start working backwards towards the
battery/power source. When it goes from 3 back up to 28, the problem is
in the middle between those two points.
You can also remove the radio, and connect a light bulb (28 volt) from
the power pin to ground. It will light dimly if at all. Go back and
start jiggling everything. When the light comes on brightly, you have
wiggled the right thing! The old light bulb trick is handy in all
manner of applications. Shorts AND opens....
For clarification, it would be nice to know where you are measuring the
radio voltage from, etc. But ASSUMING (dangerous thing to do) that you
are measuring it with the radio installed, and are reading it from a
known point that for SURE feeds the radio... then the method described
above will work without question.
Good luck,

Subject: Yak-List: Yak 50 radio
Hi all,
I replaced my old ZIABRIK radio by a new BRIZ (which works perfectly,
tested in a lab). But when installed, it sometimes works, sometimes does
not.
I discovered that I only have 3 volts on the supply wire when switching
on the "radio" button on the front panel. First I thought it was the
battery, but I checked it, and it's in perfect shape.
One of the symptoms : I hear some "clicking" or "ticking" in the
headset, and usually after 3 to 4 minutes, it switches on. As if one or
another relay tries to switch on ?
It's definitely not the new radio, since I am using a provisional
bypass, connecting it immediately to the battery - until the problem is
solved. The problem is not introduced with the new radio either, since
with the old radio, I had the same problem. This is the reason why I was
forced to replace the old radio (thinking it was dead).
Any idea ?
Best regards,
Jan Mevis

Thanks, Mark!
The point where the radio gets its supply is at a three-connector place just
behind the throttle, almost next to the air valve. That's where I measure.
The push-to-talk wires go also to one of these points. From this
three-connector point the power feed then disappears in a big bunch of
cables.
>From your explanation, I conclude that there must be a bad wire, making
false contacts. Perhaps it's the switch itself on the front panel? Might be
dangerous too, I suppose. I'll use your method with a light bulb, much
easier than with a multi-meter.
