Hey Dan, How do you like your ACS2002? Is there anything you don't like?
I'm also considering the VM-1000c and the GFI EFIS on a second display.
Thanks,
Jim

Recently I have noticed posts referring to an endurance bus, Is this the same as
the essential bus?
I have Bobs book and I see no mention of an endurance bus.
Wondering if these terms referring to the same thing.
Thanks
Gerry

Hi Gerry,
They are one and the same. The term "Endurance bus" being Bob's more recent
choice of name. He feels that it more clearly describes it's intended
purpose.

I think Bob decided "endurance bus" better reflected his philosophy of what
the essential bus was all about.

I absolutely love it. So simple to read & use. If anything strays from the
norm you hear the auditory warning, look at the screen and in RED it tells
you what's wrong in the bottom left corner. Very, very nice stuff.
It's easily readable in all light conditions, and in a way ironically it's
clearer in direct sunlight.
The 2-hour data logging functionality is excellent. You can really
visualize what's happening when you dump the data to a file and graph it in
Excel or what have you.
I love it.

Thanks Dan, So if I read between the lines, I take it you like the ACS
unit?
Thanks for not being wishy washy.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm pleased that you found
the work so useful.
I presume you're referring to the various forms of
ukum-yucky that propose to increase the transfer of
heat from solid state devices to their mounting surface,
usually some kind of heat sink.
I haven't used any in a new design for over 20 years.
There are heat-transfer, gasket-like materials that
can be cut to shape, punched for holes and go on dry.
See http://www.bergquistcompany.com
for an exemplar product offered by Bergquist
It occurs to me that you may be asking about the
silcone greases popular for waterproofing. Dow Corning
DC-4 has been around for 40+ years. When I was in
the 2-way radio business, we would fill the interface
of coax connectors on a tower with DC-4 before
assembly. It would keep the moisture out of the
connector. Did a net-search on the stuff and found
several instances where DC-4 was recommended for
moisture proofing connectors or aiding in their
assembly. Here's a few . . .

http://www.amphenolrf.com/products/AssemblyInstructions/hn.pdf
http://www.dielectric.com/broadcast/instruction_booklets/IB162-A.pdf
I guess I'm not a really big user of DC-4. I think
the tube I have was purchased when I was in the radio
business . . . about 1963. Itty-bitty amounts go a
very long way. My 3 oz tube is still about half full.
