Mike:
I understand PSE in that business (manufacturing intercom technology) and
yes, I did buy and use the aeroelectric book and CD and am very pleased with
the result of my wiring job. What bothers me is that after my first attempt
on the SL-10MS top connector, I contacted PSE about doing that harness for
me. The reason I did that was because they told me in the install manual
and the website that they could make up a wire harness if I gave them my
specs and a couple hundred bucks. So I gave them my specs/wire lengths and
was willing to pay a reasonable price for them to do the job. The response
I received was that PSE only makes up the mic and phones harness and not the
harness that is incorporated into the top connector (the harness I was
struggling to make). Since I had been working on the airplane for many
years and the wiring for many months I didn't feel like doing the upper
harness (again) at the time and was not happy that PSE would say they would
build me a harness (but not the one I needed). You say PSE is not in the
business of building MY homebuilt, fair enough but why does PSE bother to
offer to build one of the two harnesses (the EASY one to make) and not the
other? Why would PSE NOT build a harness for the upper connector if a
builder provided the diagrams and wire lengths? The reason I wasn't
impressed was because I didn't (and still don't) see the logic in offering
one thing but not the other! As a credit to PSE, I really like the functions
and features and flexibility of the unit, hopefully it will give me many
years of trouble free service. I've run into other folks in the homebuilt
world who do this same kind of thing and I don't see the logic in their
arguments either so PSE is not alone here. But, if PSE is ONLY in the
business of manufacturing intercom technology then why do they offer to
build ANY wiring harnesses at all?

Dean,
Not to give you to hard of a time. PS Engineering is in the business
of manufacturing intercom technology. They are not in the business of
building YOUR homebuilt aircraft. Why don't you use the resources of
the internet and learn how to do it yourself. One of the main
purposes of a homebuilt aircraft is education. Somewhere along the
line you missed that. The audio ground concept that PS Eng. uses is
very common in the industry. Go to the Aeroelectric and get on their
site and use the knowledge from all the builders before you. By the
way much of the Garmin audio technology came from PS Eng (FYI).
