I used the search feature but if there is anything on the list already

about this  specifically, I missed it.   Does anyone happen to know off the

top of their head which panel mount avionics typically needs a "keep-alive"

power source?  I have not provided such power from my battery and now

realize I may have to go back and do a little re-wiring.  Here's my list:



Garmin GNC300XL GPS

Garmin GTX 327 Transponder

Garmin SL-30 VOR/VHF

PS Engineering PMA6000MC Audio panel/Intercom

AmeriKing AK 950 Annuciator

JPI EDM 900-6C Engine Monitor

Tru-Trak ADI Pilot II Autopilot



I know this is a longish list, but I'm without my manuals at the moment and

was hoping to be able to work this out fairly quickly.



Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide...

Lee,



I may be wrong, but I don't see anything in your list needing a keep 

alive connection.

In my experience a keep alive on the main battery is a sure way to run 

the battery down when the airplane sits in the hangar for any length of 

time.

So if one is really needed (clock, etc.), why not resort to a small 

backup battery, or an internal one ?



Best regards,

No keep alive for any of that stuff - I have the same list except for

the engine monitor (mine's a GRT).  Unless the unit has a live clock,

like some EFIS's, it won't need any juice.
