I just got a DG800B, with Dittel Radio and S-Nav/GPSNav setup. The Battery
is 2 parallel 6v in series w/ 2 more parallel 6 v giving 12v 24 AH. As far
as I can determine this is the standard DG800 setup.

The former owner assures me that the avionics are not bothered by voltage
spikes when starting or shutting down the engine.

The GPS needs time at basline and uninterrupted recording after that for
badge/record flight. I don't want to sit on the runway, idling the engine
before takeoff. Our airport is not conducive to taxi out and go.

Has anyone in r.a.s.-land had a problem with starting the engine with
avionics on?

Thanks
