whiskytango Posted April 16, 2017 Report Posted April 16, 2017 I have used the Dual 2.4 Amp USB plug from Sportys ($16.50 plus shipping) to run an iPad Air and a Stratus 1 simultaneously. It has worked fine, but I found that the arrangement of the 5VDC wiring from the plug to the USB connections at the devices has to be adjusted to prevent noise in the audio panel.
