    Starlink Mini

    You can split the Mini to broadcast 5 and 2.4 as seperate WiFi. Then choose the 2.4 for the ones further away from the Mini. This should allow you further range and more penetration. We cut the cord, weird for Starlink to make both ends the same, which is nice. Shortened to around 13 feet...

    Is the marina overcharging me?

    It was mentioned above that this particular state can increase the price. Regardless, the itemized bill should show where any increase has come from, even if it is just a fee to read the meter. Chris

    How LOW can you go? (Voltages that is...)

    Most of your electronics are find at lower voltages, but that doesn't mean it's great for them, especially if smaller wires. (lower voltage = more amps/heat for same power/watts). You can look at low voltage cutoff on your equipment. Most will be 10-10.5VDC. Above that should be ok. The...
