More or less what I said back on page 420.
Outstanding! While not technically true, we are on the same page sir!

I had read your response, however, the bit regarding audio range, while technically correct, may have confused others due to the usage of "VHF" in describing audio signals so I thought a revisit was useful.

Any "residual power" left in "the system" initiates the " failed log on" ...and the RAT is deployed (but not to power SATCOM) ?
As in an "interruption/surge" ?
James, this was covered by myself and others a while back. The RAT does not power the AC bus directly and the inverter that does power the AC standby bus is rather small and limited to powering critical flight instruments and not the SATCOM radio pack.
