What campsite number are you here? 😊
@calypso5925 2 күн бұрын
I am touched when I see a simple step-up module from Aliexpress (a cube with a radiator), screwed to the main structure. This means that xtar-link are not able to make a 200W step-up converter completely by themselves. Therefore, they increase the voltage in two stages. And this means: (1) losses&heating, (2) reduced reliability, (3) huge dimensions. Did they at least build in reverse polarity protection? I am not sure about that.

Great video and info. But with this conversion kit, do you HAVE to use a 3rd party router? I can’t seem to find info if we can still use the starlink router on this conversion kit.
@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures 3 күн бұрын
You can't use the router that is built into the Starlink base, as that is powered by 120 volts and that is not used in this setup. Thus they provide a third party router with the 12 volt power supply. But you can also use your own (as I did) if you have a favorite brand.

Thanks for this! Electric engineer here and I would have done that power consumption test the same way. Could get marginal accuracy improvement with a clamp ammeter, but seeing as any errors in measurement are mostly equal between your test cases, for the purposes of relative power use this was perfect. And 50% power reduction is substantial, and mostly efficiency losses, plus the Starlink router which uses more than 3rd party routers.
@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures 2 ай бұрын
Thanks for that! Yes, I am not an electrical engineer, but I did try to keep as many things equal between the tests as I could. We've been using the 12 volt solution for a couple of months now, and had it on our rig when we went cross country. It's been great, and having it permanently mounted it great in that we just have to pull the cable out and hook up the antenna when we hit a campsite.

We don't use a mount for the antenna, we just use the kickstand that is built into it. The way I showed the 12 volt mounted in the bay is how we have it mounted in the rig.

@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures 3 ай бұрын
If it's rainy or has been raining, it could get muddy. My biggest concern would be the wind, as the rim of the badlands can get some really bad wind gusts, so make sure and check the weather beforehand. We didn't see any tenters there at all, but did see people camping out in the back of their pickups underneath the night sky!
