    So I got one of these and I'm very impressed with the performance. Has much better RX audio out the on board speaker than my 1st 5K. Power on VHF/UHF is said to be upped to 7 watts from 5 but I have no way to test that. RX AM/FM/USB from 18.0 ~1.3G as stated. AM Air Band RX is terrific. The...

    Portable Generator Power Quality Questions

    I do the gas generator thing mostly for Storm Power Outages. Switch to LED bulbs for lighting .... at 5-7-9-11 watts per bulb .... you can light up the whole neighborhood.

    Electronics Question - Will This Work? / And Another Question

    Kaplah! Thanks to BC Coyote for the correct tip about Tight Connections and not to use the Spring Clamp bitches. Connected to my MegaWatt 36A P.S. with tight connections and 12g wire for testing and the thing fired right up and seems to be working fine. Got the bottom cover off first to look...

    Electronics Question - Will This Work? / And Another Question

    I have one of those 36A Switching Power supplies around that I could attach 12g wires with secure terminals to tighten down. That should be adequate to just power the thing up and light testing right?

    Electronics Question - Will This Work? / And Another Question

    Yeah it came with like a 3 foot set of heavy cables with heavy clamps like come with large heavy duty jumper cables. Figured that would work to simply power it on and test. It has LED indicator lighted display.
