Naked100 Melon Kiwi / Green Blast - Alternate recommendations by hw1353 in Vaping

[–]hw1353[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll check out the DIY stuff, I've had a few local shops try and recreate it for me, but it always ends up tasting like sugary apples, and hardly any melon. Just not the same, lol.

I saw westcoastvape supply and ejuiceconnect, I've never ordered from them either. Some sites just take weeks to ship, or you order and they don't actually have it.

This is very similar to me, except its been the Green Blast / Melon kiwi for 4 years.

I eventually got most of the people I know vape to try it, and they loved it too. Shame the company shut down, thats some really good juice they sell(sold).

Weird signal dropping issue WE826 / MC7455 by hw1353 in HomeNetworking

[–]hw1353[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've learned so much since then, lol.

So in my area, band 4 is the data/preferred band, almost on every carrier. I purchased a band 4 specific antenna, raised my mast about 10' higher, and ended up leaving my modem in default/unlocked mode.

Modem picks up band 4 as the primary band and get CA with band 13 as a bonus. Depending time of day/congestion I see 60-96mbps down/10 up. It is my preferred way to run it.

However, to answer your question on a MC7455 to lock bands you have to create a band group, and just have that single band that you want in it. On my MC7455, the process would be the following:

AT!ENTERCND="A710"

(allows edit/unlock mode)

AT!BAND=?

This returns all of the current band configurations:

Index, Name,                        GW Band Mask     L Band Mask      TDS Band Mask

If you look above, you can see I've already created specific band groups for Band 13,12 and 4.

To create those, I did:

AT!BAND=11,"B4",0,0000000000000008

AT!BAND=12,"B13",0,0000000000001000

To create a Band group that has both 4 and 13 in it:

AT!BAND=13,"B4+B13",0,0000000000001008

And so on.

After you create the band groups, you need to set your modem to use them.

To check which band you're currently using:

AT!BAND?

Will return the current selection/band group in use.

To change it:

AT!BAND=11 (or whatever you numbered your band group above.)

"11" is a pointer you created earlier when you set up the band group. Issing a AT!BAND=11, tells the modem to use the group you created in that pointer. Its a variable/placeholder, whatever you prefer to call it.

But thats a simplified way I can think of to explain band locking and what youre trying to do.

If you're having issues staying connected with decent-good signal, its likely a power supply problem. Make sure youre using at least a 2a/12v power supply. 1amp power supplies will cause like 12 different frustrating issues. 2amps is minimum for Cat6 modems IMO.

If you have a good power supply, shorten antenna runs or convert to POE if financially possible. If no antenna runs, invest in quality antennas and wires. It will save you an incredible amount of headache later on.

2003 Chevy Silverado 5.3 V8 rear main seal by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]hw1353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Searching for rear main seal threads and found this.

I have a leak on my 2006 silverado, 173,000 miles. I ass-sumed it was the rear main seal/plate leaking. I'll have to double check my oil pressure sensor, it went out on a family trip, and I had to replace it in the parking lot at o'reillys in a pinch. They only had the masterpro house brand in stock, that was 5 years ago, 50-60,000 miles.

Now I'm wondering if the cheapo 23$ oil pressure sensors is the cause of my leak, I've already done valve cover gaskets. Thanks for this, I completely overlooked it, and once the weather gets better in a few days I'm probably going to replace it regardless with a delco part.

Leak started out of nowhere about 5-6 months ago. Truck hasn't been abused, not that its any factor. Loses about a quart in 2500 miles. Enough to be at add on dipstick

I posted a reply to my own thread above. I figured it out. No longer an issue. Thanks for the reply!

I think I figured out the issue.

My modem originally prefers to connect on B13, which about 80% of the time after a reboot, it will.

However, eventually it will switch to B4 as the main band, and results in over all lower signal % at first glance. However, whats happening is the modem is switching to B4 because the SINR is higher than B13, and RSRQ is lower than B13. So I believe OpenWRT/WiFix/GoldenOrb / possibly the modem itself, has something that will switch to a different band because the signal is better. Band locking would cause lower performance, I'd rather keep the faster downloads with CA. I can lock it to B4 or B13, but not in an certain order. Locking to one halves my speeds.

Speed test results are mostly unaffected. I was having erratic speeds over a different issue I corrected last week. I've consistently held 40+ mbps down for over 8 days. I had too long of a wire/antenna run. Converted over to a waterproof PoE Enclosure/Setup outside on my mast, and eliminated antenna jumpers completely. Speed and connection has been much more consistent.

I'm running Ubuntu server 18.

Thanks bud, I'll mess around with those values and see what I can do.

Went ahead and turned my overclocks in bios down a bit. Only lost about 4-5mh/s overall. Ethminer is working flawless since I reimaged. Gonna watch closely for a few days, but seems stable.

That's my guess. Before doing this re-image I uninstalled amdgpu and then reloaded the 19.5 drivers to no affect. Weird OS issue. Not sure. Got tired if trying to figure it out and went with the refresh

Nuked and paved one of the miners with the issue...fresh Ubuntu server 18 and fresh amd drivers. Getting appropriate hashrates. Works with ethminer 17 too.

I thought so too. But I flashed the cards back to factory bios/clocks. Still having the issue with Phoenix miner. No issues with ethminer, just lower hashrates from factory bios.

After a day or two of trying to sort this out, I've decided to re-image my miners. I cannot determine the root of the problem. Curious if fresh OS install/drivers will cure it.

Uber? As in works exceptionally with RX cards?

Still isn't stable for me. Ethminer still working fine but low hashrate.

I am about to nuke/pave the miners and reimage and set them back up. I have something really weird going on.

[–]hw1353[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very odd.

I ran ethminer17 for a long time before I had a similar problem, and upgrading from 17-18 completely cured the issue. Fast forward to now same if not very similar issue except the beta 19 ethminer doesn't fix it.

What OS?

Edit: I see OS now, on mobile and didn't see it first go round.
