The 5 volt, 12 volt and 24 volt outputs on the PD will be maintained as long as the battery input remains at 4.5 volts or above. The 12 volt to 5 volt regulator requires a minimum of 7 volts input to make 5 volts output. By connecting the 5 volt convertor to the PD 12 wireless output, you will maintain communications. If you connect the convertor to a battery output on the PD ( and your inspector fails to see it), the battery voltage regularly will fall below the required input voltage for the convertor and your radio will reboot.
