would this be overkill for 1500 ft ptp?

As long as there is line of sight, you would just have to turn down the power until your receive index is around -65db on either side.

I dont think so, im running mine at 200' and it works great. Much cheaper than running a hard line.

This antennas it can overcome distances of up to 15000 ft ptp without ostaculos without ningun problem, I use her for link of this distance and it works very well

All heters are the same really. 1500 watts is 5000 BTUs and it doesn't matter much after that. 13x14 worked fine for me but it depends on house insulation, and outside temperature. It was also supplemental, as the centeral heater was holding the rest of the house at 63.

I would use a high grade for 100-150 feet, electrical requires thicker wire the longer the run if you will

Yes, I am currently using a 100ft of it with a full-size loop on 75 meters (240ft length) and 1500 watts SSB. If you keep the SWR below 3:1 there should be no problems. If using a mode with continuous carrier it should probably be de-rated to 1000 watts for reliability.W3SYH, Nuclear Physicist

I had mine at about 650 ft and it worked really good. I would suspect it would work at 800 if you had a clear view

Absolutely! It would probably be considered overkill but you won't have to replace it for the life of the tarp or tent.

I think so, but is probably overkill. I use it for a very large in ground pool and it works very well

Nope. Not overkill. If anything, it just won't run as long to bring the temp up and hold at an even temperature.

This is just fine for that. There is a model up that gives you some fancy lights and an option or two but now worth the close to 100 dollars more. Plus you don't want to be dumping more than 2 minutes of water at a time on top off. This is residing in a sump chamber so it should only run a few seconds.

We are very happy with our 598si We have a 171/2 foot boat and it is more than adequate. We had the same question. We have never had the 798si. So we can't compare, but we are happy with what we bought and don't see the need to spend the extra.

It will do 15 board feet, so about 15sq ft at 1" thick. But, its a crap product, dont buy.

I don't think it would be a good idea to run this unit at close to its maximum capacity. Trailers have a tendency to get loaded up over time, and I would not want to have a road incident where the insurance company could say I was running my rig unsafely. The 48069 1200 lb unit is only $5 more, I'd go with it. I'm guessing I'm at 600-700 lbs tongue weight on my trailer - it makes a huge improvement in handling. It comes with the 2 5/16" ball. You might consider an electric tongue jack, you'll find it really helps out to set the chains -- you have to jack the rig way up to do so, and most hand crank jacks don't have the range you need without a multi-step blocking and raising corner jacks routine.

It will do the job. It might be a bit of overkill but better too much than too little. hope this helps.

No problem. I used 60lb Powerline braided line and have great sensitivity over 500 feet deep water.

Not really - 7 mil is the best you can do and even that is pushing the limits. I have purchased the Fellowes Jupiter 125 and it handles 10 mil perfectly. Costs a bit more, but worth it.

Your question is vague. I can tell you this setup is a good buy and will handle just about anything you catch from the shore with the right line.
