[WISPA] Farmers Wanting full Farm Coverage

2006-02-04 Thread Ross Cornett
Hey guys, I have a farmer that wants farm coverage with little or no trouble. He wants to browse from his tractor while the satelite guides his tractor for him. I am putting out 2.4 from his Elevator leg, and I believe with an omni he can get signal, is there a better way to do this?

Hi, Is your generator a computer friendly type? We have both a Honda and Yamaha 1000 generators that deliver clean power (you can plug electronics into them directly without problems). Those will charge the UPS. The other thing we did was hook up a 5 gallon gas can with fuel line directly to

Thanks Travis. I know that the Coleman is not 'computer-friendly' but I haven't had a problem yet with it powering our equipment...just the problem with the UPS. How'd you rig you gas can...that IS the big problem with these smaller-wattage generators is the tank size. Got photos?

Where do you get your generators? It's not like they need a ton of juice. Small ones maybe? Can they be had pretty cheap? My noc is small and requires not too much power. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless

It's not actually mine. It's another's from the list. We were talking about it. But I am sure that on my 230 ft run of cat 5 that I had to replace an 18v 1a with an 18v 2a to get the radio to stop rebooting. The individual I was talking to thought if you up the amps it will kill the radio.
