Volts vs Amps
Navmaxlp:
ILS concepts or an equipment course? I just had the Mark 1f OJT and am awaiting the cert exam hehe. I'm in Baltimore but, I start VORTAC school in June. Let me know if you'll be out there at the same time, we can hit Red Dog LOL. BTW what ship were you on in the Navy?
Shooter:
I'm heading down there Monday for 10 weeks. Going to the new hire class then after that its on to ILS concepts. This past week i helped install a mk1f, I learned a ton from that. You should look me up. I'll probably be at Mansions North.
My ship was the USS Mitscher (DDG 57)

Navmaxlp:
I always stay at mansions north. Best by far imo. Just a warning. If you haven't taken vor concepts yet, ils concepts can be a bear of a course. It sucks when the normal rules of electronics no longer apply. I'll PM you once I've booked my room.

Unless it's faulty, it should be. 20/40W station.

I agree I had a 45 Watt iron and it really was more then I needed so I went to a switchable 15W/30W iron and it works great.
