  1. For several years I used the Verizon broadband router with voice (now hardware discontinued from Verizon store but available elsewhere https://www.amazon.com/Novatel-Verizon-Broadband-Router-T1114/dp/B00JL57PMG ). Its reception was better than a jet pack, could even tie in remote antennas. It also could be configured for two voice lines (which we never did). I just recently dropped it from our plan when we switched to unlimited basically to get Canada/Mexico in the plan, not so much for data ... we were on older Verizon shared data L plan where the router was only $10/month shared data but on unlimited it jumped a lot $$$ and we wanted the international calling on the phones as a priority (which on the shared data plans was outrageous $$$) and we now use an ASUS bridged router to connect wired Ethernet to a phone as a hot spot when needing hard wired access. I too needed wired lan access for some other older devices where the wireless hardware was very buggy with WPA but very stable with now basically unsuported WEP so had to use CAT 5 for them. Verizon now has a 5g home modem/ router (in some areas) with a single wired port that would go to your existing router. I have been thinking about doing either one for home and dropping Charter Spectrum if Charter ups their price again. Looking at the logs in my top DD-WRT home router we still don't use anywhere near 25gig a month in the S&B, even stuck here in the covid lockdown. I was very happy with the T1114 for years on the road, and it is now sitting unused for about 4 months. At this price point, putting the old router on its own plan would be just a little cheaper than Charter so wasn't going to shake it all up yet at the S&B as 5g should be here relatively soon. Hope this post didn't get too far off in the weeds
  2. We're in the DFW metroplex, NE Tarrant county off 114. Not a Sig, but an '07 Beaver Patriot Thunder, Winchester III. That's 45' with full wall slide. Non multiplex, no def, but a 525 hp Cat, and wouldn't trade for anything on the market. PM me or let us know if it is something to give you ideas. Its not a Sig that you are looking for, and to be perfectlt clear, it is not leaving our hands for any amount. Al
  3. Hey Jeff (JDstew), how about a link to the displays/transformers you used. Looks nice.
  4. I voted yes under the assumption it would be in addition to Daily. I really really REALLY like the Daily Digest and say a Big thank you for implementing it. Without it I wouldn't take the time to keep up with site. For me personally, I would stay with Daily so I don't get too far behind. Thanks for a great job!!!!
  5. I thank all for the responses. Nothing has been totally decided yet. Al '07 Patriot Thunder
  6. We are considering adding a 5 to 7 cu foot chest freezer such as found at Lowes or Home Depot. Two placement options come to mind. Years ago we removed a jack knife sofa and put two lazy boys there on the full wall (30 foot) slide. The quick option: We could remove one lazy boy completely we seldom use and place the freezer on that slide in the front corner. The floor is wide enough but as that slide drops for a "flat" floor I wonder about the structural affect with the lifting and support when retracted when the freezer contains 200-300 pounds of meat. This could allow easy swapping back for extended trips where freezer is not needed (maybe freezer in half the year and lazy boy in the other half year). Another more complex option is removing the love seat sofa completely from the opposite side's shorter kitchen slide which does not raise and drop. However, due to the outside TV, the floor at the couch is only 12 inches wide (the couch being bolted has no problem being cantilevered over the nothing ness). I should be able to create a steel and plywood floor with additional supporting interior roller(s) to construct a 26 inch wide spot on top of the existing floor for the freezer to sit. At that point, I'd probably remake the wider floor long enough to move the front lazy boy over to that side too backing up to the kitchen sink cabinets and thus creating space for a new small light weight cabinet relocating the love seat's drawer full of sewing/embroidery/etc supplies in its place on the full wall side. This would be a more permanent change and also narrows the walkway when the slides are pulled in. Thoughts, opinions, suggestions please...including similar capacity freezer options for a storage bay (which are generally stuffed too). Al H. '07 Patriot Thunder 45'
  7. I learned a lot from this thread. First off, I was never seeing ANY signatures so I went to check my own and lo and behold there was a setting under signatures that was not turned on to display signatures. My signature was there but by flipping the toggle now signatures (including my own) magically appeared everywhere! Here all the time I thought nobody posted a signature or it was broke. Then I explored my profile (which by the way said was 100% complete) and I see a required city/state field that was blank. I was going to put in Dallas/Fort Worth as nobody would know where my podunk town was located. But I decided to click on other member photos/icons first to see what they had. In the small random sample of profiles I looked at I could never see where that field was ever displayed. Or maybe nodody has ever filled in that required field?? That would seem like a good place to enter the info IF it was displayed someplace. Anyway, I found this to be a very educational topic. FWIW,
  8. Ok Frank,I'll unfollow everything I followed as it doesn't work as advertised. I'll give the unread icon a go. As it won't push content, I'll try to remember to log on every few weeks as I do iRV2. Thanks to all for the attempts at keeping the site and interest going. Logging in today it was interesting to see sooooo much content and new topics that never got published/pushed via the subscription/following model settings. Maybe the high level "follow" option for the digest should removed so as to not give false direction to the users as it definitely does not work as advertised.
  9. Are the moderators/owner of this new home intending on fixing this broken functionality? Or is the loss of the daily digest function compared to the old Yahoo site going to be a permanent restriction?
