That’s a good idea. Similar is available for Android. It will be important to use the same phone (mic) sensor location for each test Rick Hole

Red Green would be proud of you 🙂 Sonia and Rick Hole

I probably have them—would have to look back in archive hard drive backups. Before I started building I made a word document importing all the plans and included Waddlow in the canard chapter. I will

I have seen cases where a headset connects ground of headphones with ground of microphone. Some radios can not tolerate this. With others it is not an issue. Rick Hole

May i suggest setup up here a subgroup as Sam suggests and test it out. The main group would, presumably, be unaware of the testing and you would know for sure how it goes before taking it “live”. If

Success. The secret was to log in with my laptop. Cell phone (iPhone) did not offer the needed option. I hope this shortens the process for the next guys. Rick Hole _._,_._,_

I will let this go for now. Under accounts all I see is options to sign on with Facebook etc. No personal info. While we are getting started such details are not worth the worry. Thanks 😀 Sonia and Ri

Sure thing. There is no need to rush. Is see various account options but so far no place to post my location etc. Sonia and Rick Hole Email: r.hole@...

I just signed up with the new group. Easily done and the new site is a bit different while the email message system function the same as this one. It should be an easy transition for us users. Let’s p

i am looking for profile. We’ll want to know our locations etc.

That’s no bull!

Si glad you found it and all the more that it was repairable. I am sure you made certain the problem will not recur. It’d be a shame to be “bit” by the same snake twice! Rick Hole

That’s not quite correct. The 50a breaker connects the output of the alternator to the bus always unless it is tripped or pulled. Even with engine not running and regardless of the field/regulator bei

Ok Corbin you are working so hard on this. You might try this test: At the regulator disconnect the power wire from the 5a breaker. Power up. Does the breaker still trip? If yes the wire from breaker

Don’t forget, with main switch off, to check resistance from field wire to ground. It should not be 0 ohms. It may not show infinite however as other devices on the unpowered bus may have resistance t

I have seen frayed wires cause similar problems Sonia and Rick Hole Email: r.hole@...

I often take it on the master solenoid or on the panel cig lighter. If those are inconvenient try the battery + post as long as the master switch is on Sonia and Rick Hole Email: r.hole@...

With breaker removed, Measure the resistance across the two terminals. Breaker in= 0 ohms. Breaker pulled= infinite ohms. Ideally you would rig a rest with a DC power source, breaker, and load resisto

The easiest test for a functioning alternator is to read the voltage on the 12V bus. The battery without alternator will be 12.6 volts or less. A functioning alternator will show more than 12.6 volts.

An open alternator output, for example 50a breaker tripped or disconnected wire could cause the field breaker to blow only if the regulator suppling full voltage to the field draws enough current to t
