Chris,
Agree on that. But for sizing my own cable purpose, it's just not worth going the extra effort now.

Re: About APCC and ISS tracking and PC Time
I'm not sure which app it is that you're using, but it's probably not adjusting its display of time for DST given that it's 1 hour behind your clock display and your location is observing DST. Seems

Re: Power cable conductor gage (AWG) of
You can just measure the output of the psu with a multimeter, then hook the psu up to the mount and measure the voltage again at the output on the dec axis. The difference is your voltage drop.

Greg,
One thing to keep in mind is that using a 12v to 24v DC-to-DC converter is that you might still have the same issue with running a charger during operation.

Re: Power cable conductor gage (AWG) of
Howdy,
You are correct. The cable is metric, and is an 18 AWG equivalent. That said, PowerPole connectors go together regardless of wire gauge. The 15A and 30A connectors can be clipped together,

I was wondering what was the conductor gage (AWG) of the power cable (6-ft) included with the Mach 2. There are writings on the jacket in what seems to be Japanese language as well as the number
