Sonny,

That is a strange one. Please let us know what Brad and Tom have to say.

BTW, I have the main ground going to a case bolt close to the P-mag from which it originates.

The switch grounds go to my main ground buss.

I heard from Brad at Emagair today via e-mail...they're at Sun-N-Fun. He said the problem I'm experiencing is that of the older firmware and if I'd send them in he would be happy to take a look at them.

I just sent these in back in October! I asked him via another e-mail why the firmware wouldn't have been updated, but I have yet to hear back. Also, the sticker on both mags was returned to me with "V29" written on them. I believe I have the latest firmware (at least I hope!).

The same symptoms you describe happened to me as well - one p-mag not functioning after start up, but fixing itself after shutdown and restart. Brad seemed to think that this was due to voltage drop during startup and would only rarely occur, but it happened multiple times to me within several weeks and Brad graciously sent me a replacement pair at no charge to see if that made any difference. It did, and I then sent him back my originals, keeping the replacements. Im pretty sure this was after the most recent updates. Have not had a reoccurrence since. Would like to get a more complete explanation from Emag, but they seem reluctant to do these studies, as discussed in previous threads
