Actual unit will be fitted inside a metal cabinet in the rear. as going to have power permanently on via Aux battery. Not super sure about this as i understand they draw about 1.5amps but also not super keen on leaving key in acc position for hours and potentially draining starter battery. Maybe I will run power from aux via a relay I have that ensures water pump has no power when car is locked...... hmmm.

    Main use will be interwebbing in camp/ in bed.

    Any advice/ comments???
    Good timing bumping the thread.

    Good point about where to power from, as ours will mostly be used when at camp. Will now wire to AUX battery, given we have 200ah lithium we shouldn’t be impacted a that much.

    Make the supply switched. They are thirsty and when you’re asleep generally not needed.

    Internal antenna is not able to see the external for it to work correctly so will need metal in between the two.
