Lights - Using DC Power
(Preview)
Hi, At the moment I have my van connected to household power. When I turn the lights on in the van, I have noticed that the lights are drawing power from the batteries. Is this normal?
I had always thought that when plugged to AC, it would just use that power source.

Digital satellite Finder SF3239
(Preview)
Hi,
Has anyone had any experience with SF3239 Satellite Finder? This one is currently available on eBay, and VanSat also sell one - SF4000. They look the same.
it says that it is per-programmed for the Optus satellite, which would be handy.
Any feedback appreciated.
