Scott - I have a T2-301 connected to your T2-301 Serial & Power cable with your serial splitter cable connected to it. I have a Nuvi 350 connected to port A (red) and a non-display GPS receiver connected on port B (blue). All appears to be working OK, but the T2-301 is warm to touch. The T2-301 was transmitting every 60 seconds while testing, but should be transmitting every 10 minutes now. I just popped the lid and felt all of the major components. The back of the T2 board and the large shielded enclosures were all mildly warm. None were hot. The ambient temperature was about 22C. I just measured the current with a GPS receiver connected. It was about 100 mA, but briefly pulsed to about 12A while it was transmitting. The GPS alone is probably drawing close to 100 mA, so I don't understand why the case feels warm to touch. I would expect the T2-301 to be not much more than ambient temperature. Do you think there is anything unusual going on?
I'm probably worried about nothing. The radio was powered by a 13.8 source while I was testing. It was easier for me to measure the current by changing over to a battery. The voltage was about 12.9V and the T2-301 was noticeably cooler to touch. Still, any comments? 73 es cul - Keith VE7GDH -- "I may be lost, but I know exactly where I am!"
