Thanks, Tracy
I was unaware (never thought about it) of the association – perhaps not having an isolation diode is one reason I never had any “Noise Problem” with the EC2 {:>)
Thanks for the information
Ed
When wiring up the diode, it should be fairly simple to drop in a large value mylar capacitor to conduct the noise. My experience with electrolytics is that they can be poorly made and leak. The mylars would be more robust in the environmental extremes of an airplane.
In any case, I thought the diode was just for a backup. The switch would stay in the same position it has always occupied, so noise would be absorbed by the battery as it always has. The EC2 would have to be on the battery side of the switch, which would make it even more noise isolated when hidden behind the diode.
