    Hello LF,
    The TX is off,it is raining,
    henny cpm
    73's
  Raining here also.

  Twice the huge 4WD starter battery that runs my e-probe has been found =
to be discharged this winter despite the Solar Panel, now, with the sun =
we have had that is just not right.
  A few checks with the meter this morning revealed that instead of =
13.8V from the Voltage regulator I had 12V, so the battery supplied the =
power until flat and never got a charge.
  A 'ceramic' capacitor had gone short circuit in the regulator control =
cct., due I suspect to the damp environment in my shed.
  Recently I read about some 'ceramic' caps said to be made of "moulded =
mud". The brown disc caps I used in the regulator when broken open =
resemble, yes, moulded mud, like an unbaked brick and absorbent.=20
  I just hope the battery has not died having been drained below 10V now =
twice.

  73 Eddie
