YOU DA MAN, DEREK!

Thank you so much for the fast response, clear and concise. I understand. I was unaware that the ST network of other instruments could effect the ST SPX30 to ST8002 connection. My first step should be to disconnect the SPX30 from the general ST network. That should isolate it from other ST issues, and it should fire up. Am I correct? Operating the AP as a standalone still beats hand steering.

Yes, I have realized that I need to isolate the various instruments and rejoin them to the network one at a time. I've got a spare terminal strip and it's an easy process. It's uncomfortable but easy. I plan on disconnecting only the yellow wires, one at a time. Should I disconnect power, too? I wouldn't imagine so, but I will with your advice.

Again, thank you very much for your help. I feel that we can manage this but needed guidance.
