Re: Wifi Extender

We are quite confident the antenna was shipped to you. All shipments are checked three times before being sent out. I suspect the antenna was misplaced somewhere between the United States (where it...

Re: Cellular Repeater

Finding a wide band high gain antenna to cover most if not all European cell bands can be accomplished.

Utilizing an amplifier like you are looking for is an issue. First are the frequencies, and...

Re: Wirie Pro

Just to make sure correct information is shared here, we have not sold the Alfa version of our system for 5 years. Our current systems rely on a combination of both custom hardware and Ubiquiti...

Re: Wirie Pro

Thank you for bringing this important point up.

Criticism is fine, but personal attacks, not so much. (so far I am an arse, condescending, dishonest, and arrogant all in one thread).

Re: Yanmar SD20 Kingston Seacock raw water valves

We did it every week, and still not enough. Within 6 months it would no longer close fully. And we did this on 4 brand new seacocks over 3 years. All the same.

Re: Yanmar 2GM20F Exhaust Mixer/Elbow

You've got me. The parts catalog clearly shows it as a plug, not a zinc. Maybe they ran out of plugs and installed zincs in some units... Seems unlikely, but stranger things have happened.

Re: Yanmar 2GM20F Exhaust Mixer/Elbow

Re: Yanmar 2GM20F Exhaust Mixer/Elbow

The 2gm20 has a zinc like you describe, but I am fairly certain there is no such zinc on the 2gm20f(c).

The specific engines we had were 2gm20fc-yeu. They also made a non yeu version as well but...
