Re: ...jims got a new rig!


funny that, when i key up with the amp on my engine revs drop, might be time to stick another battery in the boot or summit

Re: ...jims got a new rig!


your revs drop becuase of the load the alternator is having on the engine - it does the same thing when you put your headlights on during tickover, nothing to overly worry about, unless the engine stalls when the burners fire up!!

Re: ...jims got a new rig!


ICOM is in the van now - running off the leisure battery - no interference, quiet operation, and no danger of flatting the battery. brilliant.

all i need now is another icom to go in the house!

might sell the edx - offers??

Re: ...jims got a new rig!


in my truck i use an icom 703 through a kl 500 amp, i run a wire from one of the truck batteries (and alternator) into another hd battery on the cab floor.. loads of amperes. i must be lucky no feedback at all. we tried it in my mates car and when we keyed up or called cq the engine revs dropped and both indicators used to come on!!!
