    Is the antenna following the tilt knob? What system is it?
  2. tinyclark
    What system are you referring to?
  3. tinyclark
    Do I count down from 45?
  4. tinyclark
    You can't TDR antenna lines for this system because of the reciever sensitivity of the RT unit. It is over -140db if memory serves correctly. You can rebuild the connectors, build new cables or swap with another aircraft to see if it fixes the problem. A majority of these kinds of problems are the cables/connectors. Not sure where your R/T is located, or how long the cables are. I built a set of cables just for troubleshooting for several of the different platforms I worked. Also, are there any in line connectors in your aircraft? Do you guys still have NATEC civilians? Tiny
  5. tinyclark
    I have no idea without a callout in the IPB.
  6. tinyclark
    There are way too many LAC processes to remember that much. Also, some wiring was replaced by newer designs. The 1-!A-14 has the story on aircraft wiring.
  7. tinyclark
    You will have to contact Lockheed. I used to have access to those LAC processes when I was working.
  8. tinyclark
    Not a pneumatics guy, but it looks like an expansion joint like the type used in plumbing. Doesn't the parts index indentify it?
  9. tinyclark
    Try swapping the TCAS processor with another aircraft. It is always goo to know you have a working unit, same with the antenna, swap with a good aircraft.
  10. tinyclark
    I would think anyenna or one of the cables. Are you sure all cables are connected properly?

    Munir, since it makes no difference which phase is monitored, any phase could be used. I have no idea why they chose phase C. Maybe the relay was closer to a phase C connection. The only person that probably knows is the engineer who designed it back in the 1950's. Sometimes, I think you think too much about these details. 😅

    Sorry, I have no idea.

    DCU

    tinyclark replied to munirabbasi's topic in C-130 Technical

    Again, I have never heard of a DCU. What system is it?

    I have never heard of anything called that, Munir.
