I would like to verify that as many of my electrical doodads work before completing assembly. I mounted my ACK ELT today and hooked up as much as I could, meaning everything except GPS. So, 12v, ground, antenna, remote box and sounder.
I got -5.6v between the 'test' lead (pin 2) from the ACK and ground. The instructions from ACK indicate I should be getting 5v+/-. I supplied 12v and 14v from my stable power supply to see if it mattered. 5.6v both times.
I called ACK but they aren't back from holidays until next week.
Does this seem reasonable? I don't want to seal everything up to find out something is amiss.
