Hi Michael and Rob,
Here’s a photo of my Pine Mt. setup, and confirming the results you should have. I was using the mag mount on the roof (hard to see behind battery) – Diamond SG-7500, plus TM-V71 at 50 W. Power was an aging 14 Ah AGM with folding solar on the car roof. Without the solar and running that much power, battery voltage was pretty quickly down to 12.4V. Good thing it was sunny. Next time, I’ll bring the LiFePO.
Circuit merit
| Repeater | In (my signal) | Out (my report for repeater CM) |
| Tam | 4+ | 5 |
| Barnabe | 3+ | 5 |
| Bahia | 3 | 5 |
| English Hill | 5 | 4 |
| Sonoma | 4* | 4+* |
* For Sonoma Mt., my CM-In of 4 was reported by KM6AOW. The repeater CM-Out of 4+ was me listening to K6SHO (Nicasio) and KI6LNB (Fairfax Pavilion). NCS was not as clear through the repeater, so I think Stafford Lake è Sonoma Mt. path is not great.
Cheers,
Rob Ireson K6RGI
