You'll be fine, at worst you'll need a choke right off the transceiver.. my Kenwood is mounted in the spare tire area, right next to the subwoofer, amp and all the premium infotainment controllers.. My remote mic via Cat6 cable picked up a little noise, but a snap on choke took care of it.. I...

https://www.adafruit.com/product/4261 + https://www.coolgear.com/product/usb-power-delivery-60w-high-power-industrial-adapter-charger-ccg3pa anything over about 18W for USB-C starts to become too big for 12V-ACC plugs.. and too big for surface mount, so you gotta use a passthrough + direct wire...

I just got an ice maker for my old lady, its like 120W and makes a cup of ice in like 6mins, run it when solar conditions are good and its free ice, it dont refrigerate em so I dump the ice into a thermos and toss it into the fridge and I can keep drinking ice in there for at least a week, but...

ive had a handful of cheap-o's fail, thats when I started buying better ones.. no anker one has let me down, the key is getting ones that are certified to spec, if they did that then they pretty good. Here's a hardwire USB-C that seems pretty good, there's a USB-C thread here about it...

I'm all for getting direct DC stuff.. but for my portable tools I just grabbed a nice AC unit off ebay and ran it off a tiny inverter.. they are only like 150W so the smallest harbor freight inverter will run em fine.. now I got a house inverter for other stuff and I just use that.. if your...

Yeah what are your ambitions here? Do you want to just listen in for info operations like Fire/Weather/Rescue? You can monitor all of em pretty easy with a wideband receiver/scanner and single antenna.. from Shortwave radio up to local stuff like forest service chatter. Are you wanting to rag...

only problem with this plan is your already obsolete, all 3 phones in my house are now USB-C and now even my E-Cig is too.. I keep 12V ACC ports around for USB only because they are ubiquitous and easy to update, I buy quality but if one fails I can always grab another at basically any fuel stop...

one of the big selling points for me on a Honda GenSet was being able to use it for backup power for home furnace.. plan is to build a little box w/locking plate on back patio to store it in when not camping, mostly to keep snow from burying it.. could insulate it put a heating pad or bulb in...

for me, not off LP, in winter tha'd be too precious for heating fuel, I'll burn gas.. in the off seasons I burn through my LP tank in about 5 days, in season it goes 5 months as just cooking gas.. and genset is just ran for few hours of quick bulking battery, rarely even empties its own tank but...

@john61ct Yes it appears non US models are setup for your local voltages: https://store.honda.co.uk/gardening-tools-equipment/eu22i-2200w-portable-generator/11655251.html I'mna convert my US Model 2200 to TriFuel, there's kits online.. one has to assume the'd work w/any regional engine as its...

No, to need a 30A plug one just needs to go over that of a 15A plug (1800W), and you dont want to run it at limits thats supposed to be a max for short bursts.. if you derate it to about 85% for continuous duty your at ~1500W, if you de-rate a 30A plug to 85% your at about 3000W continuous...

Yeah adapters are going to be required either way.. my camper didn't come w/a 30A Twistlock plug and I needed this to plug into my Honda Genset: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WGP1JMR/ like OP I still wanted a 30A outlet though, because I've seen my dad melt 15A converter plugs running...

My Honda EU2200i Companion has a 30A Twist-Loc and runs my 10k BTU Air Conditioner Just Dandy.. runs bigger AC's w/a softstart and even though I dont need one I'm still looking at installing a soft start for AirCon so I can run genset on Ecco Throttle and make it more friendly to run at my dads...

Yes of course but I question the need for a bulkhead, he wants to take it off and make his battery portable.. KISS says watertight passthrough an anderson, zip tie it to the roof rack so if he takes the panel off completely its not flopping around.. a bulkhead might make more sense if he was...

Cable Gland w/Andersons on it..

yeah they fixed the first fix.. the lil hesitation I had originally was apparently compounded w/the original fix and lots of people complained left turns in traffic were stressing em out.. it seems to be really only thing they changed, its better than the pre-fix as far as responding when you...

Got my TDI back yesterday after getting it fixed, they recently did a 2nd update to the tune and apparently its much better than the original fix.. In one way its better than the original cheating tune, all hesitation is gone.. much like my last tuned TDI... but otherwise the pedal feels far...

depends largely on the club's capabilities, goals, size, etc.. if they participate in any search and rescue or rescue and recovery missions HAM support would be prolific and encouraged.. Ive seen offroading clubs show up in force at ham exams, but its definitely regional and I doubt there's...

I know what the issue was, my point is that yer wheels/tires are some of the most critical components of a vehicle and its safety.. if an OEM cant manage to get that right they risk severe damage to brand, ie the Infamous Ford Exploder. even some burratic pencil pushers are unlikely to take much...

yeah im even liking that aluminum one from northern tool.. that would be a good base to get you going.. you got me eyeing it because I need a simple dual motorcycle hauler that I can load up and tie down inside my toy hauler that just needs to take em from base camp to trail head since my sons...
