i have the 20 amp renogy seems to stay on 100 % for a long time. i wish the amps plus voltage would give you the wattage coming in have to add them up every time to get wattage.. but works fine

Same it doesn't light up in the dark, the buttons if Ur a night time listening

Is this a 12 or 24 volt solar panel (weize)

How do you like the Alinco radio?

Great review. I may be able to get one soon and it sounds perfect for me. Thanks.

Would this make a good first iambic key experience? What would be the price range I'd have to expect?

TY for all the info👍 I just received mine (SX-600) I love the classic design. Mainly bought it for my UHF repeater antenna. Will also use on my CB antenna in future when the installation is done.

Have you use it with all the connections in the back? It looks like there is no space for the power plug without passing the rear "protection", even less there is no space for the 8din pin plug, not sure about the USB plug either. At least for the pl259 you can use a right angle adapter but I'm very concerned about the rest before pull the trigger and get one. Also in their website they dont even have one picture with all the plugs connected, i really think they didn't left enough covering space for the back and thats why they dont show it with the plugs connected. At least Armaloq have pictures with stuff connected in their system.

I should have bought the FX-4CR when he was still selling them. He has been on hiatus for a few months now.

One thing I noticed about mounting those brackets on the outer edge like that is they tend to bend the frame of the panels outwards. If you mount them at holes a few inches in, nothing bends and it's more secure. Your wood frame might negate a lot of that though.

What part of the world do you live in and what time of year was this? These two things greatly impact the output which few people consider.

Does the pulse repair mode have automatic shutting "OFF" display when pulse repair completed? Or they run forever ?

I definitely turned on the "Peak Hold" so there is a dit after a signal goes away, I set mine for 2 seconds...

ok i tryed the dim + f got 1-8 but still cant see the hiden icons unless you turn them on mine backen is all black with everything icons white i see you got a little bet of blue did they make two versions of the 450D or do i got to get in the hiding manu to fix a setting radio works great otherwise

Great review. This tells me everything I need to know about the unit before purchasing one.

That Mcelroy is sweet! thay are all nice.

how to setting voltage 24v to 12v??

Hand-held micro gives lousy modulation, better add stand-up one in your shack, I use T-Bone BD200 from Thomann

Bro u should have changed the angle of the panel in this video, to make it more elaborative 😊

But U did not explain how to check SWR !😳😳😳

Hi , doest the meter show PEP power without the DC power connected? Ie if the meter still works while in PEP mode without the DC power it means that the PEP circuit is not true powered PEP , instead it relys on a capacitor and the DC is only for illumination. 😊 Cheers

Ordered mine in black powder coat. I should have ordered this a long time ago. FT817ND is likens to a puppy, the more you play with it, the more you appreciate owning it.

I have a question about the Rover and different battery types. I have removed my genset on my RV and replaced it with lifepo4 and an inverter. I've realized my charger converter is consuming more energy then desired so I'm looking for a way to charge my fla house batteries until I replace them with lifepo4 without buying a charger. What would happen if it connected my 12v side of the RV to the load terminals with the fla battery connected? Would it lower the capacity of my lifepo4 system, damage the controller, or overcharge the fla?

I recently bought a DR-235T and your review helped with my decision, so thank you. I trimmed down a home-made 2M 1/4-wave GP antenna I made when I first got my ticket, and mounted it atop a spare 10' section of PVC (13' total to the base) and installed it against a wooden fence post. I already had coax and connectors, too, so for minimal cost I'm on 1.25M with a radio that sounds every bit as good as my HF and dual-band Kenwood bases and performs well, too. 👍

After learning a whole lot about panels, controllers, inverters, cables, etc...now I'm seeing you absolutely have to have an inline fuse between the controller and the battery. Is this necessary? Do you recommend that as well?

thanks! Full refresh of a forgotten art: antenna maintenance :)

Got this radio to replace my Yeasu FTM-400D that let out the magic smoke after years of service in an 18 Wheel Mobile. Programming my Yeasu was so easy that i didn't need the manual. THIS radio however has an extremely high learning curve. Thanks to your video I now know how to do things I was confused on: 1) Changing the step, and 2) Getting into the extended menu. Thanks so much! Though I loved having APRS with the FTM-400D now that I'm retired and using the Alinco as a base I'm happy with this new radio. 73's de KT5CCM

thats so cool! thank you!

Great walk-through, thanks! That-said, I ordered it before finishing the vid. 😁

Useful, thanks. That-said, I ordered it before watching the whole thing.

I just purchased the 40A version of this controller, I have deep cycle batteries which I believe is the FLA symbol so that is what I have mine set on. I went through all the settings and I programed everything according to the voltage I wanted. The problem is I set the boost setting for 14.4V and it ignores my settings and charges it at 14.7v also I set the float mode for 13.4v and it is charging it at 13.7 volts in float mode. I know every thing is programed correctly because I went back and checked to make sure everything was set like I had programed it and it was. I was wondering if your controller ever surpassed the set voltage or if something might be wrong with mine. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Is it holding up? I'm considering buying what looks like a newer 40A version w/bluetooth

I just wired up that same charge controller and am getting an error of ACr. The owners manual doesn't tell me what that code means. Do you happen to know? Or how I can get my system to work? It's only 2X30w Renogy panels in series feeding 4X100ah LiFePo4 batteries and a 3000w charger/Inverter plugged into house current to charge the batteries until I get this solar panel input working. Thanks. Ken S in Maine.

Excellent and inspirational

Having problems implementing alpha tags for the frequencies. Following instructions in the manual, but it is not allowing alpha=numeric tagging. Any suggestions??

How did you run solar cables to the charge controllers? Did I miss it somewhere?

That bottom part that looks like a cover around the terminals will break if you try to remove it on the 40 amp version there’s nothing under there. You might have something to adjust on your 30 amp, but there is nothing on the 40 amp version.

Great video. I am a HAM and have a go kit with a 30 AH LI battery which can only be charged at 10A. Can I fuse this controller to only output 10 amps to my battery and not the max 20 amps? My solar panel is a 200W single. I love all the extras with this controller. And, it was recommended by another HAM but I did not factor in difference in the controller output.

I didnt see on the vídeo the time of bouncing back Signal from the Moon But anyway , how much can cost in Europe allá the equipment for doing this experiment ? Thnx

Great review very helpful thank you 🙂👍

Great help. The factory manual is frequently not clear.

I’m 5 years late to the party but thank you , great settings

Just bought one today form my ham buddy. Digging it. Works great with my end feed

That is so cool! Does this trick work with ANY APRS gateway or digipeater etc? Or is it only compatible with systems specifically setup that protocol? Great video!

Did you ever make the video explaining all the different settings?

Does it generate additional noise for the radio? I mean radio noise, not audio.

I dont think that bottom section of rover comes off. Looks it but no. It would be nice to see your connections. Will the load power somthing 24 hrs if timer not set or no sun. Thank you

Would it be possible to listen in on people doing moon bounces, with a simple UV-K5(8), if I built myself an antenna setup like you show in this video? I don't have a license yet, so am not allowed to send, but I love t o search for signals. Something that came in via the moon would be amazing!

I have a ctl-b
