Hector -- THANKS for sharing your settings. In particular the NR F5-3

It makes a weak signal more comfortable to listen to (no, not a
miracle) while stronger signals are not so distorted or harsh.
I had overlooked this particular setting in my frustration with NR -
Fellows,
I'm not asking you to go off-topic with advice on my feedline. I'm
asking only about the behavior of the ATU memory system after I've
retuned a few band segments to wet condx, then condx return to dry.
Thanks

Measure battery voltage close to the battery terminals so it
ignores voltage drop in your load wiring.
Next, I'll advise on sizing a solar panel (or array) to extend the
running time. I was a solar-electric system designer, supplier, and
educator for 25 years.

If Icom net seems to be clear (as you imply) by 1800, then we start then on
14.316. Then we have unlimited time.
I'll make the final announcement after any further replies.

I'd be very cautious around Li-Poly batteries. From what I know, they
