Propane powered generators will not start in freezing cold weather. They must be insulated and heated. Keep that in mind. Buy a little extra capacity, not the surge capacity, but the continuous capac
My hot water heater is 4 kw like Jerry says. My 6 kw ( 8 kw peak) genset can handle it, if I manage load aggressively. What I do is power it off part of the time and save lots of load that way, while
Not what I was talking about. Sure, the tanks will also freeze if they are too small. I was assuming they were large enough and would not freeze. I am talking about the propane feed into the engine i
When it comes to freezing the tanks, it is the amount of heat used to vaporize the gas (phase change from liquid to gas uses up a huge amount of heat) vs. the stored heat in the mass of the liquid an
Not to belabor the point Josh, but teens and 20's are not what I consider cold at all. Pretty much anything will start there. I'm talking 20 below zero and downwards. The fact that you need a "hot" b
Things will be better, but not perfect. You are right that your natural gas is delivered to the house as a gas, and you will never freeze up your gas supply lines in the same way you could have froze
This is a very interesting point. Kind of ironic that I am allowed to have a 1000 gallon propane tank 15 feet (and Uphill !!) from my house, but they would limit gasoline storage to 5 gallons. Ironic
I'd still like to know a lot more about the Ethernet connection to the VII and what can be done with it remotely. Anyone have any experience yet. Carl - have any software yet ? Anyone controlling the
I'm not the one to ask....so consult the archives. As I remember there is a strong interaction with other settings....I think it was AGC hang or something, that drastically messed up the NR if these
I wish I could be more directly helpful by remembering the exact reference, but unfortunately it eludes me just now. The only part I remember clearly is that when the newer firmware releases came out
I too have some interesting uses for remote control of my radios and stuff. I'm lucky enough to live and work from home waaaaayyyy out in the country. So I can and do have towers and stuff. Some year
Another interesting point was that someone mentioned the pleasure of building at least a part of one's station. Well, one part that you can build is a wired, or wireless, high speed local area networ
So did I....considering that several Ten Tec rigs have been and are capable of various forms of remote connection. I agree with Grant on this one.....you don't care about the subject, just delete it.
hehehehe....I take your point Grant. In this case, shall we say, I Integrated the wireless network. That is, I researched and selected items from various vendors and purchased them from various deale
NEC says all grounds must be bonded. I doubt it has anything to do with this issue though. I agree with others on this, it seems that the only time I suffered from this was with very high swr, signif
Aside from the NEC requirement, if the two grounds are Bonded (heavily) then there is NO voltage difference at all. Not so ? You definitely should not have your tower ground and house ground tied tog
Stuart, I agree with you completely. I really think we don't get even much of a choice about bonding the grounds. If you don't, and you have an issue that involves either insurance or liability (ofte
Well...I do PSK31 using a Corsair II. My approach is to turn it on an hour or so early. Never have a drift problem. Its an interesting technical problem. One with possible solutions. But I'd rather h
