There is increasing evidence that the quiescent state of BH X-ray binaries is different from the canonical hard state. Our recent Chandra campaigns on BH transient decays suggest that the spectral hardening in the hard state decay stops. This transition has so far not been resolved with enough SN to fully quantify it, but there are strong indications that the spectrum softens during the subsequent decay. We also find evidence that the decay rate varies between sources. Both the decay and spectral evolution can provide important constraints for jet-dominated and ADAF models. We now request 4 instead of 6 simultaneous Chandra/VLA TOO observations. The early part of the decay can be covered with approved Swift ToO and existing radio proposals.
