Another story from late 2023 tells about the FCC going after landowners and landlords - NOT the tenants?!? - over pirate radio signals over FM Broadcast frequencies. Let's take a look.

I found this ad in Instragram and it intrigued me, so I went to their website and read what they were advertising. This is ambiguous at best, and completely untrue at worst. Let's take a look at this radio and see what it's all about.

Thanks to Renogy for sending me this battery. This isn't the first Renogy battery that I have owned and I daresay it won't be the last. I have been very happy with all of their LiFePO4 batteries and this CORE 200AH version takes usability to a whole new level.
