Crude, but effective.
I just may have to do this.
I have a bunch of 5k-8k BTU portable units that look smaller than yours, for around the $100 mark around here.... add in a 3000W peak inverter for another $100, and I should be in business.
Near everything in the automotive industry runs on 12V, only exception is oddball commercial/industrial stuff and military.
Keeping it 24V doesn't do anything practical, and in addition, would then require a converter to drop it to 12V, which are not 100% efficient.
I have yet to hear a good...
The Patriot and Liberty are not compatible with any other Edge products, they're 'edge' in name only.
Do NOT get an edge 10000 bar unless you have the controller with it. They're B-link, a proprietary data network, the lightbar cannot be wired with just + and - wires.
There are also a few rare...
The Edge refers to all models, but usually refers to the 9000. There is an edge 9000. 10000, 9m, 9 Ultra (9U) and freedom.
All filters interchange except the 9u and freedom endcaps. All 400 series designed for the freedom and Ultra will work. You can use 9u/freedom linear led corner modules...
I'd go with either an Edge - modified, or a freedom.
Freedom 400 series linear led modules (not corners) will fit in an edge frame, btw. So you can get an edge and upgrade as $$ allows.
There is one person in particular that buys most if not all of the ammo cans, strictly so no one else can, so he sets the local market price on them.
I've been looking at trailers, and trailers that, back east, would be lucky to get a bid on, are going for 1k$+ out here :( ..... :burn:
The most popular lightbar was the AeroDynic, as it was popular at the time the m1009/cucv was around.
Later models got the Jetstream/Jetsonic, as they were more expensive with more features, they were rarer, in addition to coming in at a later time, Vs the AeroDynic which had been available for...
Permanently mounted the cans, added a third battery with continuous duty solenoid that's ignition switched (I can run equipment without vehicle running, without killing the starting battery, but still charges when the vehicle is on). I Finished installing/wiring the SS2000, the D700, the...
Less space, more functionality. You can get a decent ss2000sm for about 300 nowadays. If you sold your existing stuff, you'd be at least halfway there.
Yes.
All siren tones disabled, airhorn with horn ring, lighting controls, and signalmaster control. I'd need 3 boxes to do what this one box does. Completely programmable, and controllable by a computer.
D700, 2m/440 built in TNC/APRS.
Single output to diplexer, with 1/2 wave on VHF and separate 1/2 wave on UHF. While most people like the 1/4 or 5/8ths, I'm a big fan of the 1/2 wave for its radiation pattern and the fact that it doesn't need a large groundplane.
I installed the radio/SS2000...
Sounds like you had a starter solenoid, they're rated for intermittent use. Hence being toasted.
Also realize that relays are rated for both inrush (current peak), and continuous. Most chinese ones will advertise peak, NOT constant current carrying handling. A 200A 'peak' relay will only handle...
