[C320-list] Modifications to #687

[Richard A. Walker]

I use the charger when ever I am at the dock.  I use the inverter for things
like at sea charging an electronic drill, using the microwave oven, waring
blender, etc.

Cheers,

Dick,

When do you use the 20A Xantec charger?

When I installed 26" LCD HDTV on cabin forward starboard bulkhead, I
connected the masthead VHF radio antenna with a 2-way marine switch (down
for VHF radio, up for TV)---works great for HDTV stations.
