I have a Narco Escort II NAV/COM radio in my new Dragonfly. A friend of
mine has the same radio in his Q1 and based on his experience he made a
recommendation. He told me his radio died once and the Narco dealer
returned it to Narco for repair. It ended up being a blown internal fuse
that cost him $168 to have replaced. After it was replaced it blew the fuse
again (it may have lasted a few years I do not know). This time he repaired
it himself and Narco recommended that he install a big capicator across the
power leads which he installed and has had no problems at all.
He told me his capicator is a Mallory TC 10501 500uF 100VDC
I have not had any luck finding this device. I would assume a wide variety
of capicators would work, but selecting one is way out of my area. Could
you please recommend a suitable capicator for this application?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!!
Jeff

Thanks, Bob.
As it is with most questions answering one brings a an avalanche of add-ons
:) , sorry <g>
I assume you are referring to a circuit similar to Rotax 912/915 as shown
on pg. Z-15 (BTW I just got your book, it's very usefull), where
e-bus = essential bus, separate from the main bus, fed via Diode from main
bus or, alternatively, directly from the battery.
The "0.6 to 1.0 volts below bus voltage" is the V-drop on the diode, right?
What is the purpose of the diode?
Does a C-172 circuit contain the same elements (e-bus, main bus, diode)?

I'd run it on the e-bus. This allows the voltmeter to be the "gas gage"
for the battery under alternator-out operations. Under normal operations
you'll read 0.6 to 1.0 volts below bus voltage. Closing the e-bus alternate
feed switch during preflight will cause the reading to rise to battery
voltage which will verify the alternate feed path and show that the diode
is not shorted.
