b.
Volaris comment: WE have had mainly good experiences with
Volaris from Los Cabos to Tijuana. However, be aware that no matter
how long you have had your paid reservation you'd better get to
their desk in the airport a good 2 hours before the flight as they
have a tendency to oversell the capacity of the plane. It's not
comfortable to go from the East Cape to the airport for an arrival
at 6:20 pm and to not have the passenger arrive. He had to rebook
the next day with Volaris as Alaska wanted $460 for a one-way and
Volaris was $300 less. Maryolive Shoupe

There was a typo on the 120 VAC. device; it is 400 cocos and is
capable of running two-20 amp circuits.
I have a new 100 amp @240 VAC Square D breaker panel
with two 100 amp MAIN breakers; one is for manual over ride and the
other is for on/off of the automatic voltage sensing system. This
system uses a dual 100 amp solid state switching device which is
controlled by an "ICM" "Line voltage monitor."
When the power falls below a safe operating range [for
any and ALL devices,] this equipment turns off all power. When
the voltage returns to the safe operating range ,SOR ,this device
turns the Main Power back on to your existing Circuit Breaker Panel.
It mounts between the meter and your Service Panel .It is 1200
cocos. For a 120VAC dedicated circuit ,there is also a smaller
version of the above. This is a portable small box that plugs
into a wall outlet and has two or four outlets which you can plug
into directly ;for example, a freezer and refrigerator. The main
problem with brown-outs is that motor windings, compressors, and
many other appliances simply melt down when left on with low
voltage.
This device does not replace the much needed battery
back up system for uninterrupted power to a computer. In
Mexico, if you are not at home then your computer should not be
turned on. This device will save a rapid turn on/turn off event from
destroying a Flat screen TV and many other devices/appliances. This
120 VAC device runs 400 cocos. Dale
