REFLECTOR: Re: Reflector Digest, Vol 13, Issue 86

[Gary T. Ciampa]

Jack,

I'm based out of TTA, it's four to five hours by car to W95, a quick 
hour flight if R5306 is inactive, a few minutes more otherwise.

I got the tee-shirt last week at Howard's and a license plate, what I 
treat! I've been there multiple times, up to HSE and around the 
lighthouse, sweet! I'm still looking for the nudist beach......not that 
I'll go there, just fly over and leer <G>

My engine monitoring systems is a uMonitor, Rocky Mountain Avionics, all 
the normal instrumentation, RPM, TACH, EGT's/CHT's, Oil Pressure and 
Temp, OAT, Volts, Amps, etc...

The RF noise is also coming in the ICS (with the radio's off) so the 
problem must be common to the electrical bus. The battery, starter, 
alternator, voltage regulator connections are all sound, as I just 
finished chasing (and fixing, yea) an intermittent alternator 
low-volltage problem. I shall do some spelunking under the power panel 
and behind the radios....

Cheers,

Gary
