I can already envision the installation! Mod'ed Hawkeye to add external antenna Old fiberglass fishing rod clamped to mailbox post (to gain height over metal mail truck; flexible to withstand high winds) External antenna "relocated" to top of fishing rod with coax (which impedance?) in between...

Thanks for remembering! Looks nice (needs to fit between two AAA batteries) - now (to search JameCo), what are the "Minimum Order" requirements... :o [Group Order anyone? :lol: ] Before the "Credit Card" Remotes, the "Keychain" Remotes only controlled two units. But, they had a slide switch...

[Although the OP already switched to plastic, for thread "completeness", a metal mailbox solution is:] > > > Hawkeye Use in Metal Mailbox < < < I have a RR501 approximately 10' away, line-of-sight through a wooden bay window (i.e. no metal). It's been a couple of years, works great except for...

Do Yourself In? :) Interesting read (but maybe a bit expensive - anyone know the AU-to-US conversion factor?)

Maybe they changed the design of the PR511, but I've had no complaints about the two that I've been using for a long time (#1 maybe 15 years?; #2 ~5 years). Before the PR511s, I had a HeathKit/X-10 Motion Floodlight - only supported 3 Housecodes (A,B,C), but the one nice feature it had was it...

If you're not a "Tinkerer" with an established "Junkbox", any components you would buy at RS would easily match (or exceed) the cost of another wallwart. Here are some ideas I just picked out of a Marlin P. Jones & Assocc. Inc. printed catalog (sorry, didn't look up the LINKs for ya!) 14591-PS...

Yes, but "qualified" - you need to visit the sites I previously LINKed to and check your SAT Receiver Model for compatibility. Some work serially; some work IR; some both; some neither...

This is an older, long-time discontinued unit. The 5xxx and 55xx series are reported to have better picture quality. For more information, visit: PlanetReplay ReplayTV & Showstopper PVRs at AVS For reference, many of us previously purchased: 5040 New w/Lifetime @ $150 5040 Refurb wo/Lifetime @...

Thank you! ;) [Currently running ActiveHome v1.32 on a P266 laptop!!!]

Which is what Rupp's new 5 ton Trane compressor should have also had...

Does the airflow in Zone 3 ever increase (i.e. if Zone 2 or Zone 1 are enabled)? Are all the registers in Zone 3 open? How many returns do you have? If you trace the ductwork to where Zone 3 meets Zones 1 & 2, is there ANY possible obstruction between that point and the first Zone 3 register...

Compressors need a few minutes between power cycling [OFF, then ON] to allow the Freon to "equalize" (IIR the term correctly) on both the inlet and outlet of the compressor. Otherwise, you would be trying to compress a liquid instead of a gas. This usually trips the internal breaker on room A/Cs...

Never saw underline *AND* overline before! Interesting touch... Are HA and PowerLinc still "dictionary" words? [They are no longer marked in the earlier posts in this thread.] Is there a rule that if a "dictionary" word is the first word in a sentence, skip it? [See previous post with listing of...
