And generally read the instructions, would be helpful, l have used those tnc,s for years, right from the very first, up to the latest versions, in all walks of life, and they perform effortlessly, and are very reliable, l still use one that has a pk31 soundcard board in it, so, yep, we will see what happens, ?
Nathan, you've got me sitting on the edge of my seat. Where's part 2? Oh, and your PK-232MBX is not one of the earliest models. It's actually one of the later model MBXs.
13.8VDC @ 700MA-1AMP to run the PK232 properly
a thermal imager gun would come in handy for you to check heat or an infra-red gun which is very cheap. 0-40 bucks.

Part 2 is coming, however I'm on a trip outside the US for my employer so I can't say exactly when... About a day after I get back!
Part 2 is coming sometime soon, I am waiting on a parts order, and doing some travel for my day job, so I haven't had a chance to shoot any video.
