  1. If that is Navico in Romsey then they have been ace for me. I had what I thought was a problem, and to troubleshoot I popped my unit in to them. Even offered to go through to their workshop whilst they hooked it up to their system to check the unit. Can't remember the result outside of, it wasn't the unit as worked perfectly on their bench. R
  2. Weds pm, kids & dads.
  3. That's a long session Alan, make you you take plenty of supplies! Good luck. Rob
  4. Childline, is that still 0800 1111?
  5. I'm hitching a ride on JV as usual, we are heading out out tomorrow, night in Portland and then shambles Sunday. Well, that's the plan. Rob
  6. Just keep out of casting range!
  7. Anyone?
  8. Arms like Popeye now Jim!!!
  9. I'd say you need to crimp that cable, just need the right size crimp and hydraulic crimper, then do away with the bolt on crimp - but for testing the bolt on is ideal. R
  10. Nothing like using CAD design and it turning out so well. R
  11. Looks smart Mike, I'd be a little concerned about the leverage this has when buoying an anchor up from deep. I'd add a fairlead to the side and use that at anchor and on retrieval. R
  12. The swivel won't work with a tripped anchor, that is the issue as far as I understand it. R
  13. Luckily the gelcoat can be wiped down!!! R
  14. Vast requirements assumed vast budget Terry! R

    Steve, from.what I hear, you pug them in, download the app to your phone and it should be simple. (How's that for noncommittal?) R

    Quite right Jim, it is "theoretical" speed of transfer. 3200Mbps, be lucky to have anything that can receive / transmit that sort of speed. Like our broadband, oh, 100Mbps is the slowest (and cheapest) I can get from Virgin, they tried to say I needed more! Got to be joking! 99.9% of the time, if I am downloading something, the source (say Microsoft for updates) won't let me pull updates down faster that 50Mpbs so others stand a chance. So what is the point of 100! Plus, there is something call contention, you share your "speed" with you neighbours. Yes you can get 100Mpbs now, but not if they all start using the internet heavily too, this is why we see slowdowns. If you want un-contended connection, then Pay £200 a month not £20! Contentions ratios use to be 50:1, the I think 20:1, not sure what they are now, but they will be. (20 'houses' share the theoretical 50/70/100 Mbps that your provider say you have at your fingertips). So, a 4K (ultra HD) film from Amazon online recommends a 15Mbps connection. Easy test for broadband speed is to use https://speedtest.net Best to get the results from a wired device / computer or laptops. Be ok on a modern mobile with their app on 5Ghz WiFi close to your router . R

    Ah cool, same brand, no probs. The powerline just lets you use your ring main a a wired network, sometimes these are good sometimes bad. Use directly in wall socket, not extension lead multiway block. R

    Go single brand Mesh all over Steve, not point possibly adding additional complication. R

    Mesh is the tech you want, a system that allows a device move from location to location seamlessly. You don't get this with a 'normal' extender. These are good, but will nee you to put the virgin media hub in "modem mode" - they take care of everything: https://www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/deco/deco-e4/ I fancy the disc ones and would ceiling mount, need to pull carpet up on the landing though for power!!!

  22. MariNautic in Cobbs , looks like the owner had an unhealthy interest in kids. Business to possibly fold, the very lease he deserves on top of his 2 yr sentence. https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/18508842.depraved-katie-weeks-jailed-indecent-images-child/?Ref=fbpg R
