#5 I don't recognize any latitude below Tallahassee.

Snorkel?

Kidding aside. I presume the radio just started doing this? IE it started out "OK" and now does this?

If that is the case you may want to check the power connections on the radio. I presume it has two hots, one switched and one constant for memory. Depending on how your converter is operating you most likely do not actually have true full time memory power and that could possibly come into play.

Not sure how but on some level that actually makes sense.
Thanks.....

it's on the map. east of W168, ifr, vfr, whatever, don't need to squawk 1200 if you're in a 7*.

I suspect you're going to have a professional bug it out, but I think the fact it's a "first energized" anomalous transitional occurrence points to a false ground, insufficient ground, shared ground. Are all of these components taking their feed from the converter, including the lights?

 

[Gun Runner 5]

..... "Anomalous transitional occurrence" ...... Seriously.
If you use words like that in South Georgia the locals will call you "fancy pants" and you will be tagged for life.

 

[Chester]

well, in North Georgia they just call me Sir. except for the Colonel, he still calls me boy.

I think he said "That there is a tuffy. I'm thinkin' thars a wire that's shakin' loose and makin' sparks and such".

 

[Chester]

not that these trucks ever vibrate enough to knock anything loose, but that's maybe an easy place to start. Where is your converter grounded?

Now that I understood........ : )
Being a product of a rural education can be challenging at times.

I didn't install the converter myself ( unlike most on this forum I don't have talent, tools or time ) but I will check tomorrow to see where it is grounded.

Any latitude below Tallahassee? I'm just hurt now.

Geezzzz ...... So sensitive.
I decided to make an exception ....... Are you happy now.

 

[Chester]

a comment about thick and red would be appropriate here, but I have enough trouble with the thought police already.

 

[Gun Runner 5]

I only had "pure" thoughts when I modified the map of Florida plus I didn't want Nigel complaining all week.

 

[Gun Runner 5]

Has anyone tried this product ( or similar products with dye ) to identify an A/C leak?
Thanks.....

You missed sarasota in your big red circle!

Them kids from UCLA do that without thinking, they can't help it, the without thinking part.

UCLA = udder corner lower alabama (no, not under)

Charles, a mist of baby powder on the suspect joints usually works. attapulgite from attapulgus would be even better.

 

[Gun Runner 5]

I can drive to my local parts store in 15 minutes however a round trip to Attapulgus will take an hour plus.
I'm told the "stop leak" will soften older o-rings and the dye will help identify an external leak.
I'm not convinced that my issue is not internal to the compressor in which case this product is probably useless.
