in Tuner Genius XL

Has anyone else experienced a TGXL power cycling randomly? I've had the unit about a year and it has ben rock sold. Lately at different times I hear a "click" and see the TGXL is powering on and off. I am not transmitting at the time I see the cycling. Anyone else experience this? If so what did you find was the problem? The cycling is not everyday and is not continuous.

    Have you confirmed it isn't a Power Supply/Connector issue?

    If not, then open a support ticket.

    Yes the power connection is fine. I did a restart where I actually power the unit down with the power switch and restarted. Seems to be stable now. This isn't the only time the TGXL has done this but it is infrequent.

    Make sure the voltage is at least 14V. The TGXL actually wants a voltage of 15-28V (see the writings on the back of the TGXL.

    If the supply voltage is around 12, it will do funny things.

    Did you measure the voltage?
