[RE-wrenches] Xantrex MPPT 80 600 Not Showing Up in SCP

[Jeff Clearwater]

When I did my cable swap and reconfiguration that fixed it I also was 
more careful to route the xanbus cables away from the batter/inverter 
cables - thinking that perhaps induction was the culprit.  As I have an 
rj45 crimp tool and some shielded CAT5e in the truck I think I'll just 
make up my own cables in the future after spending way more time than 
that troubleshooting.

Best of luck!
