I will be changing to the Mini after my next trip, so sounds hopeful that I can get back what I paid for my Gen 2, or maybe a bit more, when I get around to selling it!Where did you get your V2 dish from?
No longer good deals as far as we can see.
I have already decided how I will be mounting the Mini, in a way which will allow it to stay flat on the roof while travelling but be adjustable for tilt and direction when static, or be removed and ground mounted on a tripod when the van is too shaded. I will be using my Beryl router in the van so will run the Mini in pass through mode. To avoid needing two cables, as the Mini does not support POE internally, I will use external POE with a waterproof splitter attached to the back of the dish. This splitter actually converts the POE voltage, 56V in this case, to a regulated 12V 60W output to power the dish, so hopefully no problems due to cable length when I have it tripod mounted away from the van.
In case it is of interest I will put a thread up in this section when I get around to doing this in Oct/Nov. I haven't ordered the Mini yet, so hopefully it will have come down in price a bit by then too!
