    Pick n Pay car disk renewal - which number is " Licence Disk number"

    Hi all - Maybe I'm overthinking this: On the PnP Vehicle licence disk renewal portal, under 'Add New Vehicle', the required info includes: Licence Disk number, VIN and Engine Number. Ok so look at the sample pic attached: Regarding this 'Licence Disk number": Is the " Licence Disk No" the one...

    Huawei H 500-S router and setting SSID's the same for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz

    Thanks, yes I will use same passwords. As a curiosity though - even different passwords would probably be ok (I would think): Once the client devices (phones etc.) have prompted for passwords and joined each network then they should seamlessly reconnect, as for normal roaming (?)

    Huawei H 500-S router and setting SSID's the same for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz

    Hi Dan C, thanks for reply. That's interesting, I see many other routers don't seem to have any restrictions. But we can certainly live with it. cheers Russell

    Huawei H 500-S router and setting SSID's the same for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz

    Hi, we have just installed a new router (after relocating premises). I wanted to make both the 2.4ghz ang 5ghz Wi-Fi SSID's the same, but it appears that the H 500-s doesn't allow that? After entering an SSID for the 2.4Ghz band and then proceeding to enter the same name for the 5Ghz SSID, then...

    I've not seem this type of circuit using two bridge rectifiers though. I found some high rated stud diodes. I'm going to make up a replacement bridge.

    Generator Overvoltage at no-load and other questions

    I can't find a type on the generator head anywhere. That said, I traced the schematic, see attached. The 4 terminal device is another rectifier - (Siemens, SKB 30/06A1). Strange schematic - I'm pretty sure I traced it correctly. How does it regulate?

    Generator Overvoltage at no-load and other questions

    I recently got a bargain generator; It has a Briggs I/C 8Hp engine. I'm not sure what the generator head model is. (see the pics - anybody know?) Assuming 90 - 95% efficiency and given that 8hp = 6KW, maybe 4.5KW output ?? The output does give about 220 under load. (I tried a 550W drill and a...

    Starsat decoder suddenly not controllable by both remotes

    Hi – a couple of days ago I noted a problem with my Startimes (white )StarSat decoder. I have two remotes (which worked happily for the past year or more and suddenly both cannot control the decoder. I am pretty convinced it is the decoder – the remotes seem to be working (the led indicator...
