(answering several responses)

an
opportunity for inductive coupling. Keep the Xpdr antenna cable away from
comm and audio cables. If they have to be close, try to have the routes
cross at 90 deg. The overbraid needs to be grounded because you can get
some pretty big currents induced along a cable.


Also only one end of the cables shield should be grounded or else your open
to some ground loops which can cause some of your problems.


Thanks, got the same recommendation from others...and contrary advice from
a few.

Fortunately, with a wooden airplane, *not* grounding the other end is a lot
easier than grounding it... :-)
