Any help with the below questions would be greatly appreciated
1)is there any particular rpm folks like to set their voltage regulator used on the SD-8 to start regulating the voltage. I.e. The sd-8 hits 13.8V at 2100 rpm and holds it there from 2100 and beyond.
2) is 13.8 where it should be set to ? I seem to remember something I read that said they are set at 13.8 at the factory.
3) potentially more complicated issue. if I turn off the battery and run the alternator only I can hear thru the radio just fine, but if I key the mic all I get is a clicking sound and I notice the needle on my voltage gauge jumps wildly.
I have a filter kit from B&C that includes the large blue capacitor I figured this might help with the jumping voltage, but not really the radio issue?
When it comes to electrics I'm outa my league.
