[CA] E-80 MFD Time issues

[Charles]

Thanks Charles,

Yes the SeaTalk alarm cable is disconnected as you directed. You are obviously correct as the backbone is being powered somewhere else. The New GPS receiver is now powered through the converter and there was never a junction box. A network switch was installed when the boat was commissioned, supposedly to extend the SeaTalk system ...specifically for a SIRIUS receiver. After your message I now suspect that may be the problem, although it has never been used and it has its own switched power. However, I will check that out. Is it correct to assume that the only power the backbone should have is to the converter? It appears that the original system had several sources, apparently each major component supplied power. I'm wondering why any source would not be sufficient?

Also I have an S3 autopilot computer, so that appears not to be an issue.
