I thought about the problem last night and the only thing I could come
up with was Variable 1 somehow got turned off so I went to the GBGH
early this morning. Sure enough I turned Variable 1 on thru the remote
and it came back up. So everything is working again at the moment.

Guys:
Club funds should be used to solve large problems like this.� After the GBGH time is over we should have a committee em paneled that looks for a decent solution to this never ending problem.
Thanks,

Sat afternoon we had a number of DCS issues. Variable 2 channel (inside loop) on the TIU started acting strange. Engines would stutter and stop, would not restart and then suddenly start responding, even TMCC and conventional engines wouldn't work on the inside loop. The cheap meter I've left there was showing 58 volts on the track! I don't think it was actually that high, whatever was going on was "fooling" the meter. Changed the inside loop over to Variable 1 and everything started working again. Then the channel shut down altogether. We have voltage going in and nothing coming out. Right now I have no idea what's wrong. I set up the inside loop for conventional operation. It appears we are down to one operating channel on this TIU.
*For those working Sunday there will be no DCS on the inside loop. You can run conventional or TMCC only. DCS should work OK on the outside loop.
