Heh. DirecWay 2-Way was a latency downgrade...folks were moving back to the 1-way, killing 2-way's growth, though there were still gas stations in the middle of nowhere that wanted to swipe ATM/credit cards to keep DirecWay in business. Opensignal and Cellmapper for your locale, directional or...

I was too cheap to have DirecPC installed (min. $600 back in the day), so I foraged the web for Hughes installation instructions, and found the entire certification program online. Studied it, and found a sat dealer willing to sell me the unit sans install/fees, and away I went. Could have been...

What are your LTE options? Any local WISP's? Sat is still last option...

Greets from sleepy Tiburon....tossed my cookies overindulging at McGee's a few times...neat place and neat folks.

Yep..look pretty flexible to me https://www.bigsquidrc.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/acer_worm.jpg Edit: Snoobs, what do you use in place of Andersons?

I believe this is still the case with the 'lower' lines of Xantrex products, but the Freedom X series was developed under Schneider's ownership, attempting to meet the RV market's demand for AC appliances a few years back, so I see it as a Schneider product more than Xantrex...

Did a bit of digging, and somewhat ironically, stumbled upon one of those rare confluences/two birds,one stone: A polished steel SIP home: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/24385825 This is like a cloaked home, pre-wrapped for fire and rodent protection.

I recall some Inkbird controllers have a runtime delay to prevent overcycling, but consult the manual for certainty.

A new technique I noticed this fire season in NorCal...folks wrapping their houses in reflective mylar, a radiant barrier, done in time as the fire approached. Made perfect sense to me, since emergency 'blankets' are similar, and much of the flammability of wood structures is associated with the...

Has ATS and configurable LVD (splurge a bit more): https://xantrex.factoryoutletstore.com/details/530221/xantrex-freedom-x-2000w-true-sine-wave-power-inverter.html?category_id=83099&catalogitemid=478829

I would simply get a Oxo variable temp kettle: https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Adjustable-Temperature-Electric-Pour-Over/dp/B074KHPS7F @ 1250 Watts and a Flair (0 watts): https://flairespresso.com/ Get one of them fancy ones with the pressure guage, and you'll pull shots besting local cafes.

Don't know where you are in the bay area, but in my town you need official permission to fart...I seriously doubt any town here would allow a white seamed metal roof in a residential area. Industrial, maybe. I would be looking at replacing the roof first, then contacting Tesla ($1.49/watt) to...

Just saw a lone unit left yesterday at the Rhonert Park Costco...I was STILL tempted to score it, I mean..$279! I have a shopping problem! Edit: Costco has seemingly replaced the Generac with the similar FIrman unit, but it's at $479? or somewhere thereabouts...wasn't interested in that.

I don't think anyone can tell you whether to return the battery, but I would advise to read the long Valence thread. It has a ton of info (the largest collection I am aware of) on this battery, and how you can top up individual cells to get them to match. Also, just exercising the battery...

Yes, there is an 'afterlife' for the Xantrex... https://solar.schneider-electric.com/product/hybrid-solar-inverter/ And that thing is still a beast, and hard to beat.
