Posted: Tue Mar 24, 2009 11:17 am Post subject: isolation circuit

I have a flightline fl-760 and the manual says that both mikes go hot on transmit.  That doesn't seem a like a great idea, particularly in a noisy cockpit.  They mention an optional isolation relay board, but apparently they never did produce it, so I have to make up my own.  

The problem is that while I can solder just fine, I suck at designing circuits.  Has anyone made one of these boards, or has a schematic that I can work from?  or any source for buying such beast?

thanx,

James

   Are you using the hot-mic intercom feature . . . or

   is it just a comm transceiver?

I'm using the vox feature.  works great on the bench.  I'm not sure you can turn that feature off in this radio.

Would it work if I just put a relay in to disconnect the copilot mike on transmit..breaks the connection from the copilot mike to pin #3?  And at the same time grounds pin #7 (the transmit PTT)?



There will only be one PTT[/list]

I'm using the vox intercom feature.  That part seems to work great, so I'd like to use it.

   That would work. Check out

Thanks Bob, but I'm not having any luck with that product ID.  Which relay is it?  There's a dpdt miniature  part #275-249

   Hmmmm . . . I guess I don't know where you are located.

   That website link was to a Radio Shack part. The relay

   is a sealed, low power 12v, dpdt device. Do you have

   access to a Radio Shack store?



   The part suggested is a Tyco part. Here's the data

   sheet:



http://relays.tycoelectronics.com/datasheets/OMI-2P.pdf



    If you don't have access to Radio Shack then any

    other small signal relay will do (2A or

    less contacts).

When I tried the link it didn't get me to that part, but it looks like that's the one I found one their site.  Given the info on the data sheet, I think my problem is solved.  Thanks to you, and all the others that chimed in.

We have "the Source" here in the frozen north, a subsidiary of Radio Shack.  I'll have no trouble getting what I need.



Thanx again,

James
