[Voyage-linux] ALIX power issues

[Edwin Whitelaw]

All,

An update on high power cards in ALIX after the ECN capacitor addition.

It seems that even with the capacitor added, the ALIX board will 
shutdown with an XR2 *and* an XR5 installed.  With two XR5s, it will run 
but if you touch both RF shields with your fingers, it will shut down.  
One high powered card and anything else (I have CM90s, NL2511, EMP8602, 
SR5, CM82) all seem to work fine.

Not sure what the next step is but I have a local associate with the 
equipment and expertise to investigate this a little more and perhaps 
come up with a further mod to make this excellent board handle the 
latest and greatest radios currently available.

Edwin
