This 21 year old womans get it.

Subject: WRITTEN BY A 21 YEAR OLD FEMALE FROM TEXAS   This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it.  It’s her future
she’s worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big
government state that she’s being forced to live in!  These solutions are
just common sense in her opinion.

This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco, TX, Nov 18, 2011

PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .

Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash
for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women
Norplant birth control implants or tubal legations. Then, we’ll test
recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing.  Ever live in a military barracks?
You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair.
Your home” will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried.  If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week
or you will report to a “government” job.  It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you.  We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good..”

Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all  of
the above is voluntary.  If you want our money, accept our rules.  Before you say that this would be “demeaning” and ruin their “self esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at
least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices.  The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE!  Yes, that is correct.  For you to vote would be a conflict of interest.  You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t welfare check.  If you want to vote, then get a job.

Now, if you have the guts – PASS IT ON…
I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET THIS BACK, IF EVERYONE SENDS IT,
I WILL GET OVER 220 BACK!!!  I WOULD KNOW YOU SENT IT ON!!!

 

 

 

Why is there a Transorb in my otherise understandable diagram?

Here is a smple of a Citation III diagram:

Notice that the transorb is ACROSS the coil of the solenoid.

Note that the thermostat switch controls the coil.

There are two keys to understanding what the transorb does.

1. The transorb is wired across the coil of the air solenoid. It slows the Field Collapse when the thermostat opens.

2. The propose of the transorb is to protect the THERMOSTAT SWITCH.

How would you troubleshoot a HF radio?

most reliable troubleshooting will occur OUTSIDE, 50 feet or so away from the building.  APU running is preferable to a gpu.

does the darn thing work at all?

does the display light up

set up the audio panel correctly, do not transmit yet.

will it make white noise?

will it even make a pop when the on/off button is pushed

will it even make a pop when the cb is pulled and reset.

does the darn thing even receive?
    tune to WWVB
          5000, or 10000, or 15000, or 20000 or 25000
          can you hear the click/clack of the standard time transmission?
          listen for one minute.  can  you hear the voice announce the minute mark?
                  this is a VERY weak signal on Bermuda
          you can transmit from a known good airplane nearby.
this will be a extremely strong signal.
 
Transmit tests:
does the darn tuning capacitor work?
    tune to a unused frequency. 5432.1 for example.
    select USB
    be sure audio panel is set to transmit HF, rather than VHF.
    key the handmic for 1 second.
the display should flash for 3 to 15 seconds, then go steady.
    try a midrange freq like 15432.1, and a upper freq like 29876.1
does the HF transmit darn high power?
     after the unit “tunes” the tuning capacitor, you are ready to transmit high power.
     transmit via the hand mic.
          “TX” may appear on the display, depending on model of hf.
does the APU amp meter increase10 amps or more?
          do you hear sidetone in the headphones?
          a small cheap am radio sitting on the wing will blare out your transmission.
          supposedly, a 4 foot florescent light  bulb held near the antenna will glow.                 ymmv.
 
call new york radio for a radio check.
 
Land line number is 631-589-7272 to prearrange a HF check

This is Duncan’s trouble shooting SB guide for the 950

http://www.duncanaviation.aero/intelligence/201312/index.php

Consider the following:

  1. Is Service Bulletin (SB) 8 installed in the KTR-953 (Receiver Exciter)?
  2. Are SBs 9, 10, 11 and 13 installed in the KAC-952 (Antenna Coupler)?
  3. What is the distance (> or < 3 feet) between the mounting location of the KAC-952 and the KTR-953?
  4. What type of antenna (shunt or long wire) is being used on your aircraft?

The following is a list and description of relevant SBs:

KTR-953

SB 8: To reduce transmit distortion encountered when the KTR-953 is mounted in a different location (> 3 feet) than the KAC-952.

KAC-952

SB 9: To improve common mode rejection encountered when the KAC-952 and the KTR-953 are installed in separate locations.

SB 10: To reduce transmitter distortion when the KAC-952 is mounted more that three feet from the KTR-953.

SB 11: To prevent the failure of the power amplifier driver and final transistors.

SB 13: Mod 13 improves the tuning reliability of some shunt antennas.

Troubleshooting

KTR-953 SB 8 must be installed simultaneously as KAC-952 SBs 9 and 10 to achieve proper system operation and prevent possible unit failure. If SB 9 and 10 are not installed on the KAC-952, SB8 may cause damage to the power transistors that can cost in excess of $2400.

If the SBs are installed in the KAC-952 but not in the KTR-953, the system may not function properly by either not tuning or being intermittent in performance.

We highly recommend you comply with SB 11 due to its description and the increasing cost of the power transistors.

If you are using a shunt style antenna, Service Bulletin 13 in the KAC-952 should definitely be installed. In our experience the installation of SB 13 will not affect the performance when used with a long wire antenna.

Some other KHF-950 notes:

Remember the SB’s that are applicable to the Falcon 900 only

Bridging amp coaxes must be crossed

The coax at the receiver/exciter can be unplugged.  Insert a 10 or 20 foot test lead as a antenna

clean up all of the dual capacitor connections
