Hi Kevin, Please note that if you decide to build from Stanislav Pechal's schematic, you must replace his MC34063 v1 powersupply with at least Mike's MC34063 mk1.5 supply (or something else). The powersupply design that Stanislav draws is nothing but a misery as I can personally attest. -Adam O

Maybe I'm looking at it backwards, but I always thought that going off-grid was necessitated by moving to someplace that isn't in the middle of civilization..
