Carryout ?

[clemdog]

Thanks. This looks like it'll be my choice if it doesn't take too long to get to market.

Another advantage of using my existing DirecTV HD DVR is that I can control the box via RF remote control. The camper has little to no shelf space and the sat box will end up being behind a closed cabinet more often than not so RF contol is essential for my application.

Please keep me posted on when I can get a look at one...

Thanks again

Seems the more I research the Carryout the more questions I have...

Am I correct in that the Carryout will require the GM-1200 to properly run on standard electic power? Seems it'll only come equiped with a cigarette lighter plug? Is that right?

You are correct, the GS-1200 does not come with the Carryout.


You can use any Power Supply that meets the Specifications below:

Power Supply Specifications:

Typical DC Voltage range 13 -15 VDC
DC Voltage tolerance 2 – 5% over from 0% to 100% of rated load
Typical Min. Current Range 5 -6 amps
Ripple and Noise Max. 100mV p-p
AC Input Voltage Range 100 – 120VAC
Frequency 50-60 Hz
Operating Temp. 0C to 50C
Integrated Cigarette Receptacle

The Carryout does come with a Cigarette plug but there are otherways to connect to coach power and to my knowledge, all cars have a Cigarette outlet to plug into.

Good info. Thanks.

How much will the 1200 cost?

[Winegard-Mobiletech]

The price for the GM-1200 is not set yet.

I'll post it here as soon as we set it.

I can't give you a better date for the Carryout being in stores. I can say that April is fairly conservative and I can give you a much better idea if you want to check back in a week or two.

Any update on this?

Thanks

Will this system work in Northern Canada??
Thanks Perry

In Northern Canada, you will need a larger reflector. You should be able to use the Carryout in Red Deer likely even to Edmonton but I would not recommend using it much further North.

I should be able to narrow the date down significantly by this time Thursday.

Look for the Carryout in stores:

The week of March 15th

Great news!

Any word on the pricing and availability of the power inverter?
