00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:15.439
The Ham Radio two point zero Audio
podcast RIP. Thank you for downloading and

2
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:19.239
listening to this podcast. So basically
what I do is I take all the

3
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:24.679
audio clips out of my videos and
upload them to spreaker, and then from

4
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:30.199
there they're spread out to iTunes and
SoundCloud and now Amazon Audible as well.

5
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.719
But I want to welcome you and
thank you for joining the audio section of

6
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:39.679
this series on Ham Radio. I
hope you enjoy it, and I would

7
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:45.560
appreciate you leaving us a comment or
a review on whatever podcast service you're listening

8
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:47.640
from. Thank you. In seventy
three, I hope you enjoy it.

00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:57.119
Introducing the Eco Float Delta to the
Max Solar Generator, a twenty four hundred

10
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:02.159
watt gas free solar generator ideal for
home backup and replacing a two thousand wat

11
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.239
gas power generator which I have right
here. This generator right here is when

12
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:07.519
I carry around in my truck.
I use it at the Hunting Lease.

13
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.719
I use it to pour my trailer. Sometimes I'll use it for just being

14
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.840
on the road somewhere and need to
charge my batteries. There's no sun out

15
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.359
so I can't use the solar panels
and whatnot, so that goes with me

16
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:22.120
pretty much everywhere you can see it's
kind of scuffed up and whatnot. It's

17
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:23.879
because it rides in the back of
my truck all the time. Gas generators,

18
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.519
however, create many physical environmental issues, including pollution from the fumes and

19
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:33.120
sound, and inconveniences of storing gasoline
and maintenance because if the gasoline gets too

20
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.159
old in this thing, it doesn't
run correctly. Sometimes it won't even start.

21
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.799
And of course you can't use this
indoors, this solar generator battery pack.

22
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.040
Of course we'll be able to use
indoors indoors of a tent maybe if

23
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.319
you're camping, if you're sleeping in
the back of your truck, you're sleeping

24
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.439
in your van or something like that. You would have to set this outside

25
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.799
to run it, charging station,
charging batteries, maybe even a heat or

26
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:53.879
something like that. This one you
don't have to do that with. As

27
00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:00.319
a powerful twenty solar generator our station, a Delta two max solves these issues,

28
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.040
achieving the same results as a gas
generator in the same size, which

29
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.599
are these two right here. This
was sent to me by Eco Flows,

30
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.879
so a special shout out in a
thanks to them for sending me this power

31
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.680
station. I'm gonna go around it
real quick and show you what all it

32
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:14.840
has. So that's the front of
it right here. We power it on

33
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:19.159
by pressing this button, power the
screen off and on, same kind of

34
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.400
standard screen as a lot of the
generators have. This is a USBC a

35
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.400
hundred watt port right here, and
it was two of the USBC one hundred

36
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.840
watt ports, two USBAS and two
USBA three point zero fast charging. It

37
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.400
also has Bluetooth pairing. I haven't
tried to pair it to my Bluetooth yet,

38
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.080
but do that here in a minute. It is stackable, so I've

39
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.919
got a second battery attached to it
right now. As you can see,

40
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.840
you can put a third battery on
it as well. It's got these very

41
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:52.360
beefy proprietary plugs and cables that allow
you to add up to two batteries,

42
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:58.360
thus extending the life of the main
battle. Both of these batteries internally are

43
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.240
two thousand, forty eight watt hours, so combining them together you get a

44
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.240
four thousand, ninety six that's it
if I can math today, so you

45
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:08.360
can see right there, if I
can get close enough to it, capacity

46
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:14.680
is forty ams two thousand watt hours
forty MP hour battery rechargeable lithium ion battery

47
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.479
pack is two thousand. You could
add another two thousand to it, thus

48
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.080
making it about sixty one hundred or
so sixty two hundred wat hour. It's

49
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.439
got a really convenient storage beIN in
the top of it here. The second

50
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:28.439
battery is just a battery, doesn't
have all the ports or whatnot on it.

51
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.599
And I'll show you the back of
it here in a second. And

52
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.560
of course instead of running it with
gasoline when you're out during the day,

53
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.919
you can plug your solar panel into
it and solar charge control it. It's

54
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:44.520
got a built in MPP charge controller
and will solar charge this battery which charges

55
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.639
the other two batteries. Don't You
only have to have one port in it.

56
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:47.479
Let's look at the back of it
real quick, all right. This

57
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:52.759
is the back of it here.
Light shine on it because it's in the

58
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:57.400
shade of the patio right now.
Ecoflow claims this is the world's fastest recharging

59
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.639
speed acplus solar dual charge in zero
to eight percent and only forty three minutes,

60
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.960
four times faster than the industry standard. These are your PV one PV

61
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.879
two, so you can plug in
up to two solar panels into it.

62
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.840
Of course, you can charge it
from home ac of course, if you're

63
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.439
out in the woods, camping whatnot, you're not going to have this available

64
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.720
to you. But if you have
shore power or something part of the day

65
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.240
or whatever, you can always use
that. Charge it up before you leave

66
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:25.079
for your camping trip on your house
energy. This is the twelve volt out

67
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:31.600
with the standard cigarette lighter adapter plug
there and two round modular ports there.

68
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.439
You can turn those off and on
by hitting those buttons there. So that's

69
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:40.360
the back, but you can see
that the back of the extra battery itself

70
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.439
doesn't have any of that. So
all of the ports are on the main

71
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.240
battery and the extra battery. Up
to two extra batteries. I only have

72
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.079
one right now, but I can
of course added second one to it.

73
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.279
I probably will go buy that myself. Actually, I'd like to have six

74
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:59.319
thousand watts of battery power without the
fumes and the noise of the generator.

75
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:05.680
ECO claims there is a ten year
lifespan on these two kilowatt LFP batteries and

76
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:10.319
that they're lighter than other LP batteries
on the market. This Delta Max two

77
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.720
is a brand new version that was
just released in May of twenty twenty three,

78
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.680
and they have a sale running for
five percent off from May twenty fifth

79
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.920
to Dune twenty fives. Check the
link in the description blow you can use

80
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:25.279
the coupon code of ham Radio five
to save five percent off of this battery

81
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:30.560
station and several other accessories that go
with it. If you're looking for something

82
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:36.079
that is quieter use no fuel than
a gasoline power generator. I'm not going

83
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:40.000
to replace my gas generator with this. When I'm going to have this as

84
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.199
another option, I'll still keep the
gas power generator in the trouble, but

85
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.319
I will have this as an option
too. And my own personal preference is

86
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:50.120
to take this out to a PODA
and plug my kPa five hundred into it

87
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.079
for a five hundred WAT amplifier on
a park's in the air activation. I

88
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.879
want to see how long that thing
will last. Of course, you're not

89
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.279
gonna have to worry about the noise. We're always having it feel day.

90
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.079
We're always running generators out at the
Hunting Lease, and we're always having a

91
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:06.480
problem with RFI that generator that gasoline
power generator does produce R five. Now,

92
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:12.000
my tests in the past of other
solar generators and power stations have also

93
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:16.360
produced RFI. However, it's probably
going to be it might be a wash.

94
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.839
I don't know because the kPa five
hundred amplifier that I have is one

95
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.600
hundred and ten vold AC powered,
so I'm going to have to use the

96
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.639
inverter that's built into the battery pack
to the power station to charge it.

97
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.519
But it'll be an interesting experiment to
see. I have used that one when

98
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.000
we were at Outer Banks a couple
of years ago. We had the kPa

99
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:39.560
five attached to the hexpan with the
seventy three hundred and we use that generator.

100
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.319
We got about five hundred and fifty
wots out of it on single sideband.

101
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.800
It worked great. So I'm very
much looking forward to trying this one,

102
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.839
seeing how long it lasts, see
how much quieter it is because you

103
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.639
don't have generator hum in the background. Might be some RFI that's going to

104
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:55.399
be a good experiment to test,
but definitely won't have that generator hum in

105
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.759
the background. Do you have to
worry about powering it with with gasoline?

106
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.959
Oh? My talking points are blowing, and I can set out the solar

107
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.079
panel if it's a nice day outside, and bring in power to this at

108
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.920
the same time that I'm using it. So look for another video on that

109
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.399
soon. Special thanks and shout out
once again to Ecoflow for sending me this

110
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.279
system. Let me know in the
comments BLOW what type of tests and other

111
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.120
follow up videos you would like to
see on this one. And check the

112
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.800
