		  Good afternoon Bob

 I have a question on splicing wire.  I need to lengthen the wires to my headset plugs from the intercom. ( NAT intercom).  They currently go to plugs in the center console.  I was originally going to run new wires  all the way to the intercom.  This is proving to be a major undertaking.  Everything is bundled and nicely tied and very difficult to get to.  Can I add a length of wire to the existing without creating problems?  Would there be any considerations I would need to address? 	


    Sure. the big guys do it all the time. They use a

    product called solder-sleeves. You don't need to get

    THAT fancy. I've illustrated a poor-man's solder sleeve

    technique here:

    and a comic book on the technique here:



   http://aeroelectric.com/articles/Solder_Lap_Splicing/Solder_Lap_Splices.html 



    If you have some shields to deal with, just bring

    their pigtails together as if they were individual

    wires. 



    This technique offers a minimum-bulk methodology

    for jointing wires and insulating the splice. If practical,

    you might want to trim the lengths of the existing

    wires so that the splices don't all bunch up next

    to each other in the finished bundle.

Good Afternoon Bob

I spliced the wires as you suggested.   I spliced all wires including the shield.  When all finished I have good intercom between headsets, the co pilot transmit works good, but the pilot headset has a whine/squeal when transmitting.  What should I look for to correct this?

   Is this a new condition that cropped up when you extended

   the wires? One side works but the pilot side doesn't . ..

   hmmm . . . might be a wiring error of some variety.

Yes it occurred after the splicing of the wires.  Any suggestions where to look.  All the features work, intercom and transmit/receive both pilot and co-pilot.  The problem is in the transmit pilot side only.  What type of error should I be looking for?

Jim

PS  Your up late tonight
