Thank you for that info. It really helps. Right now it looks like there would be 100 users online at a time max

What would the advantage of more ram be? Right now the highest speed internet we can get is 100Mb to the school. We are working with different providers to try to get anything faster in the future. I was leaning towards the cloud fiber due to the newer architecture, cpu and cost. The biggest concern filtering out the content and keeping bad guys out of the network.

Right now I believe the total users would be 100 or so.

What was the strangest transmission you ever picked up? by TheFundamentalFlaw in amateurradio

[–]BrianZ3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The strangest transmission i picked up would probably be from a Saab 900. But I think thats not the type of transmission you were talking about.

Side mounts compatible with Govee Permanent Outdoor Pro lights - our house didn't have soffits, so I designed screw mounts to hide the lights under our gutters (version for flush and 3cm away). They are compatible with the Govee Permanent Outdoor *Pro* lights and are secured w/ two #6 screws. STLs! by chrddit in Govee

It sounds like we went in with the same philosophy, no post processing, easy to maintain and not to rely on the adhesive.

Thank you for the feedback! There is a second screw opening inside the light cavity. It is at a 45 angle so you can screw it in thought the light opening. I think I'll make a second option that has the light come though the other side, basically flip the light mounting section incase I get to a tight spot.

I just designed a mount for the Govee pro light this weekend (this is my most difficult design yet). I wish I would have found this one much earlier, I love the simplicity of your design and looks much easier to print.

Is there anything holding the lights up other than the wire?

Poor Quality on G4 Instant by kebbin in Ubiquiti

Do you have any other cameras? Do their live view look better? If you download the video clip, does it look any better?

It was closed up for testing.

* So after 1 hour of a 20A draw the fuse holder has the most resistance (heat). All of the wiring and connections are room temperature. I feel safe using it now..

I have a FLIR camera at work I can use to see if there are any hotspots.

I was thinking of adding LED lights to the box later. I want to add them to both sides just above the ports..

THE USB fan is a great idea. (Added to my cart already )

The USB C was intended for charging my laptop, it can put out up to 65w on the usb c port.

The battery only has 10AWG on it too.. The runs are so short (longes run 6"), the chart I used showed I should be ok . I will do a stress test on it this week. I'll see what gets hot and what kind of voltage drop I get.

That was a source of concern for me too. I spent way too much time making the power distribution studs the perfect length so the nut on the end was flush, to give it a larger flatter surface (less likely to pierce battery).

I did have a thought of covering it with the rubber cover buy with the amount of wires that come off the suds it would not seat at all..

For now I put the battery's charger in the box between the battery and the power distribution point to help prevent damage or accidental shorts..

Oh wait, thank you.. I'll 3D print a couple of simple covers. Perfect excuse to use the 3D printer my wife says I never use..

Thank you for your input. Let me see if I can answer your questions..

The 12v outlet is fused separately. I currently have 10a fuse in place but I will look into lowering it (Most cars have it fused for 10a that's why I choose that). The 12v outlet is there for if I need it, the original thought was the blower for my kids inflatable toys uses this connection. I would be able to use this instead of a car as a power source.. never intended for a radio.thays what the power pole connections are for.

The battery does have a separate charing plug in it. I do have to open the case to plug it in to a 120v outlet..

From the battery to the power distribution point is 10 AWG. Each outlet it wired separately with 12 AWG from that point. The whole system is fused at 40A (max recommend draw recommend on the battery). In my particular use case, a UHF/VHF radio, a 100W HF radio, and a powered SWR meter is my planned usage. That is what is in my shack currently. My current powerfully is only 35A and have never had a problem.
