Are glass panels much more durable than the semi flexible ones? I know will prowse doesn’t like them.

I'm sorry, but this experiment is not verry well done nore verry wel documented. Just trowing equipment on the floor is not how you install a solar setup. Also you did not specifiy the antenna setup and how it is located in relation to the solar system. I'm running the same MPPT 87/15 and a single victron solar panel. Although at home, my antenna for 40M is a vertical mobile whip. No problems here. However I do have lot of interference from the system on the roof of my appartement.

I have been testing portable charge controllers for Ham radio for many years and followed your advice. I went through maybe 4-5 controllers and they were from bad to insanely bad. Then couple years back took your advice on Genasun. Wow! Game changer MPPT. All I get is insignificant RF on 10m. I never tested 6m or 160m. But from testing if 80m not an issue nor will 160m. I did have a Buddipole Mini solar controller that finally died. Nice but expensive unit. Limitations were it’s not MPPT and it’s max solar line voltage and current are very limited to 150w panel and below. But still great concept and works well especially for 100w and less. . But Genasun is less expensive and far more robust and efficient too. Always great content you do. Thank you !

Survival radio? Well..... First of all how "rugged " is this going to be in an ENP Event? Then, where was this made? China? Some other questionable nation? And also, there just couldnt be one or more back door shut down command(s) imbedded? Well, you're preppers, I'm just asking some sane questions here.....and $800 to $900 for this? I think I'll just rebuild some Gonset with solidstate tube replacements wanna bet who survives?

From my expierence owning a Large Pop-Up Camper, I actually found it easier to make some entry points Underneath the camper. It helped preserve the integrity on the camper's sheet metal skin, and when camping in rainy weather, those entry points were very protected from the weather! When traveling, the "under carriage" of the camper rarely had problems.

I would have just drilled a 2 inch hole and used a plastic PVC pipe with flex seal. I know it's a big hole. But that way you can easily put the coax through and coax does go bad.rhats why I do that
@OH8STN
@OH8STN 8 күн бұрын
That's one way for sure. The ingress protection was most important. Used aircell 7 which has been on the tower for 23 years without going bad. The coax can slide, when theblick rings are loosened. This makes it possible to swap out the coax, by removing the connector and pulling it through.

I might run a bead of adhesive to the edge of the solar panels to really glue it into the roof so when driving it doesn't catch air under it, start flapping and tearing itself apart.

You helped me make a decision on going for this G90 rig for HF go kit radio. I did add a pair of 25W solar panels to my planned self aligning charging rig just to make sure I have enough juice coming in. I'll be looking at antenna options....I can now see a compound bow as part of the antenna rig for HF. To set a vertical antenna up on a tree. 😂Thank you!!!

Yaesu has been on the decline for several decades during when the ownership changed hands multiple times. I never bought anything new from Yaesu since around 2012. This is during when Yaesu was owned by Vertex. I had to get my ATAS 120A I purchased new from GigaParts but had really bad experience with their service in California. After many days of going back and forth, I told them to keep my broken ATAS 120A. That was the end. I never bought anything new from them. I wonder how many people had bad experiences like this with Yaesu.

Here in the states we call them Vintage Travel Trailers. I restore them. I have a 1969 Siesta that I have been using for off grid Ham Radio. I installed mouints for a 30 foot flag pole mast. Also have some Black Widow carbon fiber poles like the DX Engineering ones only they are cheaper when they are called Fishing Poles. LOL... $30 for the fishing pole model.
