Comms problems

Postby Lesser_spotted_owl » Wed Sep 14, 2011 3:09 pm

Hi guys,

The comms on my trike are playing up a bit, i am using a buzzcom intercom, vertex radio, does anyone have a wiring diagram for a system like this, i suspect a bunch of dry connections, and in the case of the connection that goes onto the radio a damaged wire inside the sealed plug.

any information gladly welcomed

LSO, this is what we advise to the UK converting a Icom plug to a CT96 (supplied with radio) hence Maplins part numbers but it will give the pin out and comparison to the Icoms. The VXA220 is possibly the best radio available at present and is superior to panel mounts so it should work well.

Thanks Paul,

Thats exactly what i was looking for, I know there is a bad connection in that plug from a 'fiddle fix' but wasn't sure what all the wires were for.

Much appreciated

(^^)

Hey Johan, as much as i would like an airmagic system, (and i would, already have the bunny aerial) the system we have is not completely toast yet, it's just a bit moeg and needs some love :lol:
