    Solar panel

    Hi Guys, I had this solar panel that bought from Jaycar to charge a car battery that I was using for my UHF radio at home as base station ,but now I have put uhf radio in my D1 as I have posted be4, anyway getting back to the solar panel ,thinking I setup it up on truck some how ,hmmm
    put on roof ,well no doesn't look good,hmmm as was setting at the back with door open ,look up and saw that rounded roof window ,put panel on inside of it and what do you no it fits between top & bottom egdes, put 2 top screws to mount ,check volts with meter ,yep 12V .happy with that and it looks good ,then hard wired it to lighter socket near back rear door.
    ? : is good to this day time charging battery ,knowing that it a small charge anyway ..

    cheers4now alex
