What do you use to keep your solar "boost" voltage from forcing a shutdown on the Mikrotik? I've used some 24 regulators, but they seem inefficient, and have low voltage disconnects that are sometimes too sensitive - ie: if my battery goes down to 22v, it will shut down completely (yes I know the batteries should never go that low, but I don't live in a perfect world). -- Randy Cosby Vice President InfoWest, Inc 435-674-0165 x 2010 http://www.infowest.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- WISPA Wants You!
