yes.

yes I used this reasoning with not having a combination, but series of stand-alones. Same for your comments on the radar. It came with the boat. So far I have never really used it.

you're right but sometimes someone will turn up, worth a try.

Wonder if anyone knows someplace reputable to get my EV 100 sorted out in Sydney. Bit wary of Raymarine centres.

I worked at BLMC Cowley in 1971. The older fork lifts in use were LPG powered and used 'antique' flat twin Douglas engines. As I sometimes raced a Vintage Douglas motorbike I found a ready source of BTH Magneto spares. The defunct ones were not repaired but chucked out. I aquired several, one of...

Thinking of buying one of these for a 105sqm asymmetric. Wonder if anyone wants to share joys or otherwise, make recommendations of various brands?

Interesting dilemma. I cut an LPG bottle up a while back to make a 'rocket stove'. Getting the valve off was quite an issue. Emptying it of all traces of gas required flooding it with water to displace any left. You probably dont want to do that. The airline, however, probably wont let it on the...

yup, gone in a puff of gas. My apologies and thanks to all for good info. The situation leaves me a little bemused as to why someone hasn't started a company where they can offer replacement bottles of a reasonable size, or a range of sizes throughout Europe. Or for that matter an EU law of...

A friend told me that he understood there WAS someone I the UK manufacturing a kit of adapters to go everywhere or as close to as possible to eliminate the number of gas bottles a traveller might have lug about. Any one know anything about this idea? Are they still about?

Agreed. I bought the new one. I was just checking really, Not all new gear is always an improvement.

THANKS DAN TP, thanks for your input. I understand and agree with your reasoning mentioned here. I decided to buy a mini 2. While I wont be able to compare it to the previous mini, I guess I will send in any reports that look like they might be interesting to others.

Thanks KK, good information.

I didnt think that was right , the mini 2 I was sure I looked at a review of some time back. and I had a chat with Garmin several days ago about it. But I just looked it up and they said feb 3 release! Ah, the mini I can get for a substantial amt ( $130AUD.) less. Not fussed by the battery or...

My apologies If I am going over old ground here - I did look for threads on this. The InReach min and the mini 2. As I understand it there isn't a lot of difference other than the 2 can access a few more satellites and give you more waypoints. Wondering if anyone can comment on a preference?

yes looked at these, ah dear, more information to take on board. Not sure I will engage with the obvious benefits of an Arduino, but looks like a good idea. Still real interested in a couple of these tho, when, if, you can organise it. Cheers Perry
