  1. Do you have an oscilloscope to look?  Power supplies vary in cleanliness.  It takes a LOT of effort and cost to make a true pure DC power supply, so the question becomes...how much noise can your device tolerate?  If you have a battery pack, running the pack in parallel with the power supply makes it nearly perfect (assuming a charged or nearly-charged pack).

     

    I'd also love to hear more about the project.

  2. You keep saying no less, but that implies anything more, which doesn't really make sense.  What is the upper limit?  I have a 0-140 variac, which could have a rectifier added.  How long do you need it for?

     

    Do you understand the difference between true DC and rectified AC?  And if you do, do you care for this project?  If not, you need to think about it.

    Anyone using a good app for maint?

     

    I used to use MPG but it became kind of shitty and not maintained.  I've been using one simply called "Auto Care" by Xper2 Solutions for all of the vehicles.  Enter miles on fillup, and it tells you MPG and when maintenance is due based on mileage and time.

     

  4. I have a Wilson RV system that sometimes works miracles.  It's the type that supports multiple devices and carriers.  There's an antenna to mount up high, and another to point towards the inside of the RV.  I have the outside antenna mounted on a long piece of EMT which I attach to the top of the ladder that goes to the RV roof.  It works great in most places.

     

    One thing you can try also is to simply connect a good antenna to the Mifi directly, using its antenna ports.  In some locations that's all I need.  That would mean an antenna on a mast on the roof and putting the Mifi close to it to minimize cable length.

     

  5. I have a FreedomPop 803s tri-band mi-fi device I don't use any more.  It has 12.5GB of rollover data available currently, and for $7.98/mo it gets another 1GB per month with rollover.  $25 shipped, and I'll just transfer the account to you so you keep the data and existing plan.

     

    Remember though that it's on Sprint, the nation's shittiest cell network. 

     

  6. I have a big set of them.  I don't recall what they called it and it's not on the site, but it was like the "ultimate kit" or something.  It has:

     

    Mini motorcycle straps (2), adjust from 12" to 36"

    Medium motorcycle straps (2), adjust from 12" to 44"

    Large motorcycle straps (2), adjust from 12" to 46"

    Under-seat strap set

     

    Light usage, never left in the sun, no fading or any other issues.  $25 shipped in the US.
