I have 24vdc>12vdc and it's not ideal. It works OK, gives off some noise, so I just plug my Antron 14vdc supply into AC to run my 7300. It's so little power on receive that the efficiency losses are very small. If you transmit a lot, that could be more problematic. That enables me to always...

My solar shed doubles as my astrophotography observatory and the roof rolls off to expose the scope. Testing the comms will be some time, as I still need a 48v inverter to go with it. Not sure which Victron I will get. Still have the 24v system in place and redoing the shed wiring to...

I just ordered the Vaterer wall mount version. It has comms and fits into my solar shed very well. I hope to then add more if it works out.

After seeing the review of the rack mounted version, I am inclined to go with this model, as it is more suited for my enclosure. This comes with cables and a mounting bracket. Thanks @plympton for the review, the products appears to be quality built.

The choke on the right with white wire looks identical to the ones I am using and it works quite well to suppress the upper HF 30m and up was S9 noise and made it unusable. I am fairly certain it is 20 turns. I need an oscilloscope. It's been years since I've had a functional one. thanks...

The LV2424 is a loud beast with high idle consumption as well as a RFI generator. I plan to get rid of mine when the 48v inverter is installed.

Same here. No reply. Also, there are too many spelling errors to consider them reputable. How hard can it be to have a English speaking person to review before posting on Amazon.

The BougeRV panels have worked out well for me in my ground mounted array. VOC went up 20% one cold afternoon here in Ohio and blew out their SCC which they replaced promptly. It was consistently running less than 130v in 10F weather. They are paired with a Victron 250/100 now.

My recall of things obviously is bad, which model/brand? They may have been larger than my requirements.

The AIO was a RFI generator all across the HF spectrum and it consumed ~50w doing nothing with the inverter on, so I was looking for a replacement to cure those two problems. After seeing a friend's Victron SCC with just a hint of RFI, I decided that's what I wanted to get along with higher...

My AIO, a first purchase is now the backup system running on 24v. I just put in service a Victron 250/100 and now searching for the best 48v battery while undecided on the size of Victron inverter to get.

My RFI issues came from the SCC and a Mix31 on each wire dropped from S9 to barely perceptible. The higher the frequency, the worse it was from me. Someone mentioned cheap getting rid of cheap inverters and chargers but my Victron 250/100 is much worse than a BougeRV 60a SCC, virtually silent...

The output of my 8 panel array went up 20% when temps dropped to 0F during the day with wall to wall sunshine and snow on the ground. Magic smoke appeared from the BougeRV SCC which they replaced free of charge.

I can't say my decision was wrong, it just wasn't the best one. It has performed well in the 3years that I have owned the MPP AIO. I did opt to use a more efficient inverter for every day use to power my electronics, as the output is much cleaner on the scope.

I have the LV2424, it works OK and eventually I will sell it. It has high idle consumption running the inverter and puts out a huge amount of RF across the entire spectrum. Some Mix31 toroidal coils helped fixed. Moving now to 48v with a Victron 250/100 SCC and soon their 48v inverter...
