[CA] [CA11] Quantum — Quantum 2

[E.hatch2086@cox.net]

Hi Chuck
New loaner Quantum 2 failed on weekend trip. It failed at 3.25 hrs going and at 3.5 hrs coming back. In both cases could not reconnect to radar for about 20 mins. Also in both cases had trouble connecting to radar initially with engine running took about 10 to 15 mins. Yesterday rewired batteries so house bank is disconnected from engine alternator. House bank is 4 8D AGM batteries. If they need to be can charge can via generator or when connected to shore power.

I also bought an AC to DC bench power supply. It can continuously put out 8 amps DC. If rewired system noted above does not work will try that as power source for Axiom and Quantum 2 on our coming trip
