Waeco/Adler Barbour refrig - strange behaviour.
For those with an Adler-Barbour, I'd like to inject that the one installed
on the old boat, an Endeavour 35, caused a repetitive buzzing noise....
bzzt....bzzt.....bzzt..............bzzzt..bzzt..bz zt......bzzt....bzzt...
on CHANNEL 16 VHF. Only during the bzzt would it open the squelch. It had
just enough bzzt that a Standard Eclipse Plus didn't have enough squelch
control to shut it out, driving anyone near the speaker SIMPLY MAD by the
end of their watch.
Took me a while to trace down this bzzt on VHF 16.....until I inadvertently
flipped off the wrong breaker, shutting down the damned 12V electronic cold
plate....when it just stopped.
bzzt....bzzt.....bzzt..............bzzzt..bzzt..bz zt......bzzt....bzzt...
bzzt....bzzt.....bzzt..............bzzzt..bzzt..bz zt......bzzt....bzzt...
bzzt....bzzt.....bzzt..............bzzzt..bzzt..bz zt......bzzt....bzzt...
AAAAAAHAHHHHHHHCCCCCKKKKKk!!!!
No other channel, like the ones you never listen to, had any bzzt on
them.....ONLY CHANNEL 16.
Idiots....
