Once again more great info. I like the utilization of different sub-banks for different purposes.
I slipped up on my radios. On the FT-450s did you have the original or the "D": version . I am lucky and do have the "D" version and am hoping that may have been addressed. Also it was late last nite , I have the FT-857 not the FT-897 just to be clear. I also have the Lil FT-817nd. That will be nice to just listen and sip current and do some QRP work..
Question about initial setup. I have a BOSCH C3 Charger that is a smart charger. It does do 6 volt and 12 volt. Am I better off putting each battery on the charger for a first time top off OR do I go ahead and setup the bank and do 1 Charge off at a full 12 Volt? I have not touched the battery bank or connected anything up as of yet. And you only get one FIRST TIME. I have read a few forums where guys always said "You did do a first time EQ charge didn't you?"
Please, if Im wearing you guys out let me know. I have spent plenty of time looking on the internet and like I said I am not a noob. But I also find that when you get a live wire who knows his stuff, especially with SOLAR, best to double check whats out there. Just because its on the internet doesn't mean its right!
Thanks once again.
