    Subject: Just Two Days Left - Still Way Behind...
    Dear Listers, There are just two more days left in this years List Fund Raiser.

    I'm going to need some 12v outputs on my 24v electrical system and I ran across these. http://cdn.vicorpower.com/documents/datasheets/ds_megamod.pdf Does anyone have any first hand experience with these? Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=359704#359704

    Why not consider using two 12V batteries in series and take 12v off one?

    Subject: Re: PTT Y adapter for RST intercom
    From: "messydeer" <messydeer@yahoo.com>
    Thanks, Bob and Joe :-) I've ordered the relay and continuous bus perfboard. I'll post some pics when I get it assembled. I also was wondering about the power supply. I'll wire the a/c 12v supply to the wire connected to the BI terminal on the intercom circuit board. There is also an option to add a 9v battery for backup, connected to the BO terminal. I have a 1.2 Ah 12v battery that is used for my EFIS backup supply and wonder if I could wire this to the BO terminal in place of the 9v. Would I need a resistor between my 12v backup battery and the BO terminal, to drop it down to 9v? If so, how do I figure the size? How would I know the intercom is drawing current from the main 12v supply (BI) and not the backup (BO)? Even though the small 12v backup battery gets recharged by the main a/c 12v supply, seems I'd want the a/c 12v supply to provide power for the intercom. -------- Dan Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=359725#359725 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/rst_power_supply_schematic_186.jpg
