This is the new Buddy Pole Power Pro. This is an upgrade from the Power Plus and the Power Plus two and the Power Mini and the Power Mini two, and this adds some extra features that we haven't seen in a charge controller from Buddy Pole before. We're gonna take this into the field and give it a quick look. See first off before we go out there, if this has wanted to do a close up of it here. So I'm gonna power this up in a minute and I'm gonna put it in the sunlight and let you
see what the screen looks like in the sunlight. This is a colored screen and you can totally see it in the sunlight. It's easier to see in the shade as you would expect, but you can totally see this in the sunlight. It has a USB sport right there to Anderson Ports on that side obviously, and then the other side here is all Anderson ports as well. So we've got the battery connection right there, which is you
would expect right there the DCN. So it will take a twelve power supply and it will take a solar panel. It'll take up to one hundred and sixty watt solar panel and we'll output to two different loads, a radio and an amplifier, a radio and a a tuner, or two radios, however you want to do that. It's got a nice wheel here to page through the screen. You can press this button and choose things on the screen, and then page through selections on the screen and choose
the selection you want. So let's take this into the field and look and see what it looks like in the sun. I'm gonna take this to the hunting Lease, put it on a Gigabarts solar panel and go from there. I have been a huge fan of the Buddy Pole Power Mini for a long long time. I have the original version, I have the newer version of power Mini two, and I still use those charge controllers whenever I can.
Whenever I need something to plug into my one hundred and fifty watt Gigabarts panel, that's the solar charge controller I reach for because it's top notch. There's nothing wrong with it. It's RF quiet. I've had zero issues with RFI while running radios in the field on Poda or whatever. And I've been a huge fan of these Buddy Pole charge controllers since the very first version. So let's take this one into the field and see what it looks like.
Solar panels reading about eighteen point five volts right now. Of course, the batteries top off at thirteen dot two, so the solar panel is not actually bringing in any wattage now, but you can see that I'm in the shade a little bit. If I bring this into the sunlight my hand eut of the way, the camera may or may not show it, but you can still see the screen and make out what's going on. You can turn the knob here to go into the menus like that and go back to the main menu here. So
it's somebody on five to two. So this is working really well because what will happen here? This acts like a power gate. Okay, so it's on battery charging the battery from solar right here. This is one hundred and fifty watt gigaparts solar blanket what they call a solar blanket or just a foldable solar panel. And you can't get these anymore. I'm hoping that Gigaparts reintroduces them soon. It's part of their Explorer line. But right now you
can't get these. But this would work with a power film one hundred and fifty watt or anything up to about one hundred and sixty watts, which is the max for this power pro from Buddy Pole, And it's running on the battery right now. And you could plug a twelve volt DC charger in here, like a twelve power supply in here, and it would charge the battery from solar or the twelve power supply, and then if your power went out on the twelve power supply, the battery
would pick it up. So this act says like a power gate that keeps your battery charged and lets you run on AC power supply twelve VTE power supply, but also has a battery backup in place for when the power goes out. I wonder if we can hear those guys KC five hwb let's six top five to two somebody out there. I can't hear them. I think he's talking to another station that I can't hear it all. He's having a conversation with somebody else that I can't
hear it all. So but this is my setup right tonight, and if I get a chance to check into the DFW simplex net, this is what I will do it. From the lease I did that like two weeks ago, and I was using this same radio setup, but I was using a different battery. This is the battery that I keep with this radio and the tech pripper man pack, and then I have it uning on an edphong j pole right there. So this is a pretty sweet setup right here. M HM.
