- My array of batteries can provide about 1500 amp hours, provided that the discharge rate is kept reasonable. No discount sources that I know of. That's because most batteries that have seen use have

- At a cost of anywhere up to 50% of the battery's power from the inefficiency of the inverter and the linear Tentec power supply. Most inverters today -- including a properly designed sine-wave invert

- Well, what can I say? So far my milage has been pretty good. :-) I sank the most money into the PV panels and inverter. There are so-called "sine wave" inverters that put out a nasty stepped waveform

- An 85% efficient switching supply with that inverter gets you 72% overall. Nearly 30% losses. A common linear supply isn't that efficient with the unregulated voltage over 20 volts. At best 65% effi

- I can't speak to the SDR 1K because I don't have one. However, I was an early adopter of a much less capable radio, the WinRadio G303i. It's an SDR that brings an 11kHz IF into your sound card and do

- It's all about accuracy and precision -- both at the same time. Now, if you *really* care, you'll calibrate your system to read in Janskys. *Then* you can compare results to each other. (1 Jy= 1E-26
