Mike Wieger is my guest this week. Mike shares his experience installing a generator outlet and interlock kit for backup power, detailing the wiring and safety measures. He also talks about using a Jackery portable battery for minor power outages. Jim plans to upgrade his generator to 50 amps and discusses the cost and benefits of different power solutions. They also explore the Mesh Tastic project, a DIY off-grid communication system using LoRa radios, which can create a mesh network for communication during power outages or emergencies. Thanks for listening!
