Default Microair M760 Intermittentent Transmit

Thanks, Andy, but I'm not sure that will be necessary.

Microair sent me the applicable SB *and* put me in contact with the Rick at
Microairusa.com.

When I bought my glider it had a rather delicate master switch and, since
then, I've added a transponder. I'm wondering if the switch can not handle
the extra current of the transponder and/or is slowly increasing in
resistance and failing. I find that the transmitter works first thing and,
after everything is up and running, it stops modulating.

I'm going to try connecting the radio directly to the battery bus, via fuse,
upstream of the master switch and see if that takes care of the problem.

I've been wanting to replace the single DPDT switch with two SPST switches.
Then I can switch batteries without interrupting power.

No luck with the new wiring. And no
luck finding the service bulletin.


Microair removed all the SBs from public access. I think that
happened when ownership changed but not sure of that.

I have several of the SB, including this one, on file and can send you
if you pm me.
