Default RT-359A transponder question


"Lars" wrote in message
ps.com...
Wonder why they donīt recommend using the switched output? Itīs only a 60mA
current
draw, but maybe it is the 420mA warm up current that is the problem...

Probably to make sure that the circuitry has warmed up and stabilised enough
by the time you switch on your transponder. I have not checked the ACK A-30
specs but it usually takes a few seconds after power-up for the circuit to
give accurate readings.
