It's only installed on one of the aircraft at the moment. Cant remember which one though. And yes it is an ANG only deal...

They are slowly going away. The big thing with C130 T.O.s is IETM, Integrated Electronic Tech Manual. It helps you troubleshoot and highlights wires to check in the diagrams. Still ain't working tho.

I submitted an AFTO22 to explain how the 26VAC is used by the anti-skid system during self test. I was told by the "subject matter expert" that the technicians didn't need all that information.

IETMs has potential to do and offer great things... getting to that point will be interesting though.

Also, Tiny, if you've got any improvements for the -23 books, you let me know! I was/am very disappointed with the info that's in the 130 GS manuals. The 135 GS manuals must have spoiled me. And over time, I hope to bring the 130 books up to my standards. Good thing I'm not retiring in 5 mos! But congrats to you!

Yes, it's called a harmonic. That's just the way it is, there's no magic to it.

That's why the ELT transmits at 121.5 only. It's also picked up on 243, the first harmonic.

If you transmit on say 121.000, you can pick it up on UHF 363.000, the second harmonic.

You know, I almost just called you directly, but I figured I'd poll the audience... Well, that and to make this a little more widely known.

But can you explain the math there? B/c I understand the guard freqs, 243 is double 121.5, but how does 121 come out on 363?

Have any of you ever heard UHF transmissions on your VHF radio? Generally only occurs when the UHF freq is double the VHF freq. (VHF @ 122; UHF @ 244)

Even if you haven't experienced it, you can throw out any info you've got!
