From previous postings, some subscribers will remember that we have been
having plenty of problems getting a good picture on the stormscope in our
IVP.
Over the past months we have cleaned up a lot of the hydraulic system
electrical interference but on a trip across Australia yesterday found a new
and very distracting problem....it goes like this...
For the first hour or two of each segment (three segments from Melbourne to
Perth) the screen was clear, but then progressively started picking up major
interference in the 25 to 50 mile range about 15 degrees right of the
forward center line. This is the general relative direction of the battery,
regulator and alternator from the stormscope antenna.
In our normal flights, which are more in the 30 to 60 minute range this has
never happened and I can only guess that it may have something to do with
the battery reaching full charge....any experience out there with this one
and suggestions as to how we might tackle it?
