Via power supply or radiated unknown. I would be interested in experience with the V-charger. The data sheet does not say anything about antagonistic qualities.

A friend reported that he bought the 2.1 amp dual output lighter socket charger from Sporty's and had the same trouble. I bought the 2.4 amp (note the number after the decimal) two port lighter socket charger from Sporty's... I've only tested it so far on three short flights, but so far, no noise in the radios. I'm leaving tomorrow for Sun 'n Fun via a circuitous multi-stop route (I love retirement!)... I'll be using this charger daily for hours at a time. I'll let you know how it goes. But so far, very promising for not very much money in aviation terms. Thanks Hal!

I'd want to know it doesn't break squelch on comm radios before investing! :-) Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message aeroelectric-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/AeroElectric-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/aeroelectric-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/aeroelectric-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
