Well, thanks to Jeff at Vans I was able to quickly determine I had not properly grounded the small plugs for the head sets. Once I re-did them (per the plans) the system works great. A little fine tuning per the plans and I have a rock solid avionics package.
It never ceases to amaze me how the guys and gals at Vans can figure stuff out over the phone, and do it without making the caller feel stupid (even when he deserves it
) Exceptional customer service is what has made Vans what it is today. It nice to see the caring level of builders assistance continue.
Thanks Vans!

What small plugs for the headsets? The small headset plug is the mic, it has isolation washers. Do you mean the 1/8" music plug? or? What page does the plans talk about grounding headset plugs?
Sorry for the dumb questions, but I need to understand.
Thanks,
Tony

Got it
OK, thanks Larry and Michael,
My ohmmeter showed the large I.D. headphone jack to be grounded, but there is paint there and just to be sure tomorrow I'm going to take off the nut and take off the paint under it with a small wire brush in the Dremel (pilot and copilot).
Every little fix like this helps.

FYI, I also found a broken wire on the music input jack. They are very small wires and it is easy to bump it while you are working in that area. It might be a good idea to support the wires coming off the music jack with a strain relief to protect those wires while you are installing the plug and working in that area. If you do break one and need to rework it remember these wires are sheilded.
