  1. A Sat range finder is about $40 for a basic one at The Source and it helps you lock in on the signal during set up. My father has one for his 5th wheel camper and Sat TV dish on a tripod. There are no installers for Bell or Shaw in Nunavut yet both companies still have customers there. I joke when I get a call from there, "so I cannot sell you Non-of-it as there is not tech's" to help BUT I do tell all callers how to go about getting some form of TV from either company.

     

    Yep, got me one and have always installed my own equipment.

    It's very easy compared to aiming data sat dishes like X-Plornet and some of the other commercial dishes.

    An oscilloscope is needed to correctly aim them.

    This summer the Bell dish gets installed @ the cabin. :D

    No worries. I think it's a waste to just run the maps, unless you're cruising and not fishing. By default any tablet will hook up to a signal though and give you splitscreen sonar + maps.

     

    Where it really shines in my opinion, is when you take it to an uncharted lake. The unit will chart it for you, on the go. Super useful for back lakes. That's a feature you only get on $1000+ units.

     

    Don't need to spend $1000+ in order to do maps on the fly.

    The 5" version of my new finder will do it for $449US.

    You can also get it with Canadian lake charts.

    You don't have to worry about a tablet getting wet, dying etc. ;)

  3. The flip over style huts are best imo....i have both and the pop up huts barely get used.

     

    S.

     

    Me too. Have one of each and the popup gets used very little.

    Much easier to be mobile with the flipover.

    When we have safe ice for snowmobiling the flipover is always attached to the back of my sled.

    The popup is for walking on due to it's light weight.

  4. Agreed. I want a top D man for this team, but this core is playing so well. I don't want to move anyone.

     

    Kadri quietly has 25 goals! 25! If you had bet me he'd have that many by the end of the year I would have laughed.

     

    You can thank Babs for that.

    He put him in front of the net on the PP and it's worked awesome!!!!
