Aug 05, 2023     Avionics and Electrical - (8.3 hours)       Category: Avionics
Met my weekly goal for another week even though I had quite a bit of TK work to do.

Verified the new field voltage test jack worked with the plugs and fabricated a test plug and the cable for the test jack.

Completed the dimmer light cable by using two splices to convert a single ground and power connection to three grounds and power connections and installing three connectors.

Completed assembly of the engine bridge connector.

Installed more pins in the IBBS battery backup cable.

Started review of cable routing and moved some wires around to improve appearance and reduce the size of the wire bundle underneath the bulkhead and from the left side of the bulkhead to the back of the airplane.

Looked at GNX manual and calculations show I can't use the current location of the transponder antenna. Did some quick searches and realize I need to move the antenna to a location near the rudder pedals or just in front of the spar. I might be able to install the COM antenna near where the transponder had been located. The doubler I installed there isn't really big enough for the COM antenna footprint, but I could replace the doubler or let the COM antenna extend past it.
