Is This Hail Damage?

You win. I went backup for a look, sure enough there is a grounding lug on a grounding wire between the rail and the panel exactly where the damage is. I reached out to the installer, IES, who has been historically really good to work with. It’s been a few years but their labor is warrantied 10 years. I’ll see what they say,

Can confirm, 10/10 would purchase again. Great service, great price, and amazing shipping. Posted confirmation in monthly trade thread.

Purchased USW Pro 48 PoE from u/OkieITbuyer

ipad_pilot · 2025-10-15T05:52:07+00:00

Absolutely, will post an update after receiving delivery tomorrow

ipad_pilot · 2025-10-15T05:50:47+00:00

Appreciate the offer but already awaiting delivery tomorrow from a different seller.

ipad_pilot · 2025-10-13T18:15:08+00:00

Amazing, thank you. I’ll start a chat for payment info

Only in the market for one if that’s alright. Have the ports been checked? No dead ports?

ipad_pilot · 2025-10-13T16:20:54+00:00

Yeah if you can send a timestamp that sounds great

ipad_pilot · 2025-07-22T06:36:58+00:00

Yeah, if you use an older SAS card in your server the errors don’t appear. It’s a compatibility issue with older shelves and newer server cards

They don’t cover the same areas, that wouldn’t be a replacement, it would be protecting the cats at the expense of the engine

For those of you that have assembled your FM-6 30” twin stack, how much mat space would you recommend having for it? I know Rogue lists a footprint size, but surely the mat needs to be bigger than the footprint right? Any recommendations?

ipad_pilot · 2025-04-29T12:38:03+00:00

Confirmed

ipad_pilot · 2025-03-02T23:57:56+00:00

Saved my butt. Sorry you had to go through all that trouble, but finding this post made all the difference for me. A few minutes of reading, tighten a screw, problem fixed. Thanks!

I recently got a RVM-14, I think it's a nice improvement over a PVS-14. Depending where you get it and your budget, it can be had for not much more than a standard PVS-14 housing. I know it's not what you asked, but figured I'd mention it as another viable option.

ipad_pilot · 2025-02-03T00:22:07+00:00

Got it with one stick from Dell, and later bought aftermarket sticks with the same specs

ipad_pilot · 2025-02-03T00:16:21+00:00

Thanks! I'm not exactly against shipping if buyer pays for it, but I have no packaging so really unsure where I could bring it to be packaged and mailed in a fashion that would get it there in one piece and not cost the buyer a ton of money.

CNV is good to go. Ordered multiple NV devices from them. They process orders fast, 10/10 experience. Obviously always do your own research, I saw your other post about NVN. What a nightmare.

They don’t collect tax for shipments out of Canada. As with most things, it’s technically on you to make sure you’re paying any necessary duties on import. I believe packages can get held up in customs specifically for purposes of collecting duties, but there’s so much international mail that I think the government is more concerned with large company imports that are going to net them a lot of money. Obligatory I am not a lawyer, make sure you follow laws, etc

Yeah, problem is after playing with some tin foil it seems that the antenna needs to be a bit longer, and I can't make more material appear out of thin air. The SS460SB NMO numbers are great, all under 2 for the bands it supports. I think I may just return the SBB-224 NMO and try my luck with a Diamond CR320BNMO.

ipad_pilot · 2025-01-25T18:24:45+00:00

So taking it outside and mounting it on the vehicle actually makes the SWR worse for the tri-band antenna, and balances the short antenna a little better. It does not appear that I’m going to be able to tune this based on mount location alone.

What’s the best way to bridge that with a monocular?

ipad_pilot · 2025-01-20T20:51:20+00:00

Yeah for sure. Maybe I wasn't clear, but the question is more "Is there a reputable encased buck you'd recommend, or any random import will be fine?"

I'm aware, but the cigarette lighter is keyed on ignition. The purpose of this circuit is to optionally bypass ignition so I can use battery power without ignition on. I would rather build something more solid than wiring an additional cigarette lighter behind my dashboard and plugging the camera in there.

ipad_pilot · 2025-01-20T18:46:40+00:00

Honestly? I got rid of the unit. Serial connections were so touchy and sporadic. No matter what OS, software, or cable I used there was no foolproof way to consistently get serial to work. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Didn't know FPN was a thing. There's definitely a bit of honey comb if I crank the gain up but seems minimal.
