Installed the second com antenna on the port side of the aircraft using hardware that came with the RAMI antenna and some I bought today at skycraft. Reinstalled the starboard, COM 1 radio antenna that I installed last night. I used sandpaper to remove the primer from the interior of the airframe in the area where both antenna mounted in order to provide a good ground. Dick Isherwood installed connectors on the ends of both antenna cables in order to attach the antennas to the radios. The COM 1 connector failed and came off. The COM 2 radio, the ICOM A200 picked up ATIS at KORL. The SL30, COM 1, would not recieve. We used a headset to listen. |
