Thanks for the support from those of you who sent emails regarding reception of my beacons..
I would like to receive more to see how the 432 coverage is. On 1296 I realize that 10 watts split between two loopers isn’t the big signal I would like but on 432 I think I am getting 40-50 watts into the big wheels at 70 feet so coverage should be good out to 300 miles depending on the rx ant and rx performance.
Thanks agn guys. All are now on batteries 100% of the time. I need more batteries. Anyone have a source of used deep cycle 6 volt or 12 volt batteries? K9XD gave me some pulls from Motorola to get me going. I could use more capacity though to run the system more hours. My solar/wind generator are humming along but lack storage capacity.
I have six 6 volt 180 AH batteries in series parallel now. They are somewhat old but still working.
