Hi Dick,
How close are your antennas to the solar system and its wiring? What
does the S-meter read on band noise? Do you live in city/suburbs/small
town, or out in the boonies with no neighbors?

I have seen that setup in the HF store and wondered if you get 3 12 V
panels that you wire in parallel or 3 4V panels that you wire in
series. Lots of extra options if they are 3 12V panels. No clue on
the box, IIRC.
Are they 12V or 4V?

Harbor Freight ('Arbor Fright for our VK readers...HI!) has a 3 panel
setup which comes with a controller and 2, 12 volt compact flourescent
lamps. Claimed power is 45 watts. Usual price is $249.

I use some of the panels from Harbor Freight. They are okay - have a
bunch of 5 watt panels and a few months ago I hooked up some of their
15W panels. Not sure how the 15s are gonna do yet, but after 5 years
outside in the Kansas City weather, the 5 watters are working - but
they need some work. L
I just got a copy of the ARRL book Emergency Power and I am
impressed! That stuff may be old hat to some of you, but I'm a real
noob at this and it looks very good for getting up to speed. Lots of
basic stuff like Don't let shadows fall across your panel and more
advanced stuff like charge

I'm interested in using solar panels to power the K2 for emergency/field day
operations and am wondering what sort of experience others have had. The
panels seem expensive: about $100 for a 5 watt panel but with battery and a
low power draw of the K2, they look like they can sustain operation
