Not knowing anything about these, but I see it has a 56VDC output and the unit is called Router power supply, I'm guessing the router is built into the receiver (the square thing) and it broadcasts it's SSID from that.

If so, that's a nice compact setup.

When you buy the Gen 3 Starlink they supply you with the router, the dish, & a 240v power supply. (ie. 240v to 56v). In a mobile situation an inverter supplies 240v from the 12v battery (ie. 12v to 240v to 56v) The 12v-56v power supply replaces the Starlink one. Main reason for doing is that my 3000w inverter/charger has close to 2.5 amps 'overhead' which adds up to a fair drain on the battery if spending long periods online. In addition one less voltage conversion should mean less 'conversion losses'.......... so overall saves on power consumption from the battery.

With Gen 3 the power supply plugs into the router only & the dish is then powered from the router.

Attachment 88102Attachment 88103Starlink 12v power inverter arrived from spacetek today, plugged it in and it’s off and running, fill out some crap on the starlink app and it did an update and reboot, just waiting on date a bit closer to our trip and I’ll sign into the account to start it up fully.
Also drilled some holes and mounted to Jerry can holder with bolts instead of rivets, can’t believe they were riveted on with 3 small head rivets ��

So it sounds like it's possible to set it up & test it before you have to start paying the subscription? Did you buy the Starlink locally or direct from Starlink? I'm planning to buy locally (JB HiFi,Officeworks, Bunnings etc) as I can then install it without commencing the subscription until I'm ready, but I didn't know I'd be able to power it up & test it.

I don’t smoke any more but I always carry a lighter with me during bush drops. Burn before you bury.

Bought it from jb hifi mate, yes powered up and did updates however can’t do much else unless you create an account which I’ll do the day we leave or whatever their billing cycle is

As mentioned elsewhere a nissanpatrol.com.au hoodie with G60 would be epic. .
