I coach novice rowers, and I have to be able to communicate with the other coaches while we are out in safety launches. This unit is far superior to the more expensive radios our club had purchased for this purpose; it gives me greater range and much better sound quality. My peers covet my radio, and I have been sending them to Amazon to purchase this radio for themselves.

I purchased this radio as a replacement for an older unit I could no longer get batteries for. This radio far exceeds receiving and transmitting range of my other 2 VHF radios. I use it to keep in contact with pilots in remote area's and have been able to clearly hear and transmit up to 20 miles. Absolutely wonderful!!

Technically the radio performs fine, However, ....

The reason I need to purchase a new marine radio was the an older Uniden Marine radio's battery had started to weaken and they would not sell replacement batteries. After seven or eight years, they no longer supported this otherwise good radio. A bit understandable, but frustrating.

So, I bought this new one. Little did I know that this lack of product support was typical of Uniden.

I go out into the Pacific for a week at a time and need spare Batteries. After purchasing this Uniden MHS235 I tried to buy two spare batteries to take out with me fully charged. I've waited for over 30 minutes on hold and then finally get someone who couldn't / wouldn't help me.

Still trying to find spare batteries.

Review of Car Charger for SanDisk Sansa Fuze Series MP3 Player - non OEM

Car Charger for SanDisk Sansa Fuze Series MP3 Player - non OEM
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
This is a great charger for my Sansa E200 series and Sansa Fuse MP3 players.

1. Was very inexpensive

2. Shipped rapidly

3. Worked right out of the package

4. Charging while in the car is much faster than connected to the USB, but I don't think it is quite as fast as when I plug it into a wall outlet with my other charger.

The drawback for me was that when charging I could not play the MP3 player plugged into the car's MP3 jack. This is probably an issue with my car's sound system more than having anything to do with the charger or MP3 player but it may be important information to know when considering this purchase.

You CAN listen to the MP3 player as it is charging in the car if you use headphones though.

I bought this so that in case my fuze battery died I could continue to listen to my music and podcasts on the road. Well this thing works great for that on my vuze v2. I use one of those things that uses a cassette with a cable that plugs into your headset jack if that helps anyone.

I bought this charger, used it once and then left in my glove box. A week later I needed to charge my Sansa again and the tip literally fell apart. The casing around the metal tip fell into two pieces, then the metal tip disconnected from the flimsy power and negative cables, leaving me with a completely useless charger. Spring for something more... in this instance you LITERALLY get what you pay for.

I use my Sansa in the car almost explicitly, and I was sick of it losing battery while I was driving. Bought this and with shipping it came to just a few bucks. WORKS GREAT! So affordable and works like a charm. I did notice that the actual plug itself is coming loose, but it snaps back together easily, but just keep an eye on it. Other than that, great product for a fantastic price!

EDIT:::::::

About 13 months after I have purchased this item, it will not stay in my Sansa Fuze to charge. Still at the price of a few bucks, it is still worth the price to me! But just keep that in mind that it may not function for great lengths of time

I have the DROID Bionic, which is notorious for sucking down huge amounts of battery power to do just about anything. Using the 2.1A slot on this charger I can use navigation, play music, and actually have the charge on my battery increase. Typically I use my phone to play music through my car's speakers for my commute home (30-45 min), in that time I can usually go from ~50% up to ~75-80% on the extended battery (normal battery will be full charge in that time). All of the other chargers that I have used w/ this phone will barely keep up w/ the demand of just using navigation, and I would end up "charging" the phone just to stay at the same battery level (or just below).

I have not had any issues that the other reviewers have experienced. I don't know if I lucked out and got one from a good batch, but I am very pleased w/ my purchase.

Product was received quickly and appeared to be a decent item. I bought this for a small road trip so I could charge 2 cell phones at once (HTC Evo and HTC Arrive). The charger took some finagling to keep the led light on so I knew it was getting power, but didn't have any problems with staying on once in place. After just over 2hrs of driving, both phones had less power than when I departed, despite the appearance of charging the entire time. I was the driver and didn't use my phone at all and had the screen off, so I don't know what the cause was, but my Sprint charger doesn't do this at all...

I obtained this Desulfator after much anticipation. After reading the instructions throughly I placed this on a motorcycle battery. After using it for 4 weeks i placed the battery on a charger, nothing.........

I decided to try to place this in the motorcycle and give it a shot anyhow, still nothing.

I placed this device back on the battery after the short charging cycle and still- nothing.

I used this device on a high amperage battery for a vehicle that was less than a year old that wouldn't take a charge.

Nothing still.

I placed it at that point on a small battery for a mobility scooter, still-----nothing..........

The desulfator/charger that I bought from my local autoparts store restored each battery within 2-3 days... Much shorter than the moth that was described in this listing, AND it worked.

I've had a car with a broken tape deck and sporadic power supply to the lighter outlet, so I have always needed a battery-powered FM transmitter for listening to my iPod in my car. This one is the cheapest one I've ever had and so far the best. The signal is strong. I recently drove from Minneapolis to Detroit and back and only had to mess around with changing the stations once each way--waaaaay better than any of my other transmitters (the Griffin iTrip was the worst). The sound quality is adequate, but not perfect. As other reviewers have said bass can get distorted. I remedy that by turning the volume on my iPod down and turning up the volume on my car stereo. Every once in a while there is extra static, but it's almost exclusively when there is someone in my passenger seat. It may just be a combo of my car's FM receiver and the TuneFree transmitter, but it's not a huge deal. Battery lasts much longer than I expect it to. The only other drawback is that the blue light is super bright. It's a good way to gauge how low the battery power is getting though--if it doesn't hurt to stare directly into the blue light, you should keep some spare batteries around. I give this 5 stars because it works better than most more expensive devices and the slight drawbacks are not that much of a problem, especially when considering the face that this is under $20. I will also add that the device feels very cheap and flimsy, but I have had mine floating around in my purse for over a year and it's still working as well as it did when I got it.

I plugged this into my laptop in my home so that I could hear my MP3s or an audiobook on A) the kitchen radio and B) my cheapo shower CD player radio. It works GREAT! I don't even have the volume cranked up much on my laptop not even 20% of 100% volume. Maybe around 15% or so. I think if you put the volume up too high on your device that it is transmitting from, then you will get more distortion at the receiving radio. Also, the instructions say, "Note: for best results, select a frequency that has the weakest or no signal from a radio station." I chose the last / highest one 107.9. Works like a charm!!! Yeah, it stinks that it uses 2 x AAA batteries instead of an AC adapter, but for just $16.00 and change, it is more than worth the purchase. Plus, rechargeable AAA's go for only $9 $10 for a 4-pack, so it's not like it's going to break anyone's bank.

Also, to transmit to my bathroom's shower radio, if I drew an imaginary line through the 3 walls, I would say it is about 17-20 feet away. To get to the kitchen, that is also going through at least 3 walls, and I'd say it's closer to 20-25 feet away. Pretty sweet! :)

One final note when I first plugged it into my laptop, I had it actually sitting ON my laptop just to see what would happen. I got a lot of static / loud hum from my kitchen radio. But the instant I took it OFF my laptop and set it a whopping TWO INCHES away, it worked perfectly. Just a hint for non-tech people who don't understand interference. Both my laptop screen AND my 26" widescreen external monitor were on, but some people with older monitors might want to turn theirs off to keep any possible hum and/or interference down.

I replaced a $8 piece of junk(bought only a week ago) with this and I made a awesome choice... Connected this to my computer and I am rocking crystal clear songs from my stereo system. It transmits clear waves, static-free tunes. This is definitely a 5-star product and worth the money. This product comes with a 1-year warranty also. As mentioned by others, it has a very bright blue light and I am thinking this sucks most of your battery. I have not tested the battery life as yet. But if you have rechargeable AAA batteries, don't even think twice to buy this product. You will love the clarity this showers you with. The only short fall is, it comes with a short cord and not with a coiled cord. But if you are not bothered about having short cord, this product is awesome in all ways. Just follow the instructions on the small user guide this comes with. Don't worry, instructions are also crystal clear and you will figure it out.

UPDATE after more than 1 year (on 31-July-2010):

Still fully functional and really nice. No regrets on this. Battery life has been staying for over 10 hours easily.

This is a very good FM transmitter. I always use to have static interference with my old plug-in transmitter. This one has not had any static problems and works flawlessly. You can take it anywhere and make use of its very good range. One time I used it to make my own radio station that my roommates could listen to on their radios.

Cons:

It needs battery replacements every 15-20 hours. (last me 3 weeks at the rate that I used it.)

Blue LED in the front is WAY too bright.

I was hesitant to buy it, but I'm pleasently surprised !

Pros:

Transmitted Music from my laptop to my home theatre system, which is about 5 meters away. When I hit pause on my music, I hear absolute silence .. it's amazing ! No hiss.

Great transmitter basically, I'm keeping it although it has it's draw backs.

Cons:

Packaging feels kind of cheap.

No digital controls or display, frequency is selected using a a set of switches according to the combination.

No fancy electronics in there to condition the audio input. You have to pick a good volume for the audio you send to it: if it's too loud, it will saturate and beats start to sound bad, and if it's too low you will have to turn your radio receiver up, and you start to pick up hiss from FM.

I still love it.

This initially worked, but died within the month (used in a bathroom scale). The original battery had lasted 4 years. Assuming batteries bought from this supplier, or through Amazon in general, are probably older and inventory is not checked for quality control.

Great product, great price, extremely fast delivery! It was slightly different than pictured (Energizer instead of Sony) but that is a non-issue. I would have spent three to four times as much to buy this item locally and still wouldn't have had it in my hand much sooner.

Honest reviews on Sony CR2032 Lithium Ion Battery

These batteries did not work for me. I do believe that they must have been sitting around for some years because they had very little charge to them. Not one worked for more then a few minutes. I had to purchase from another place and they (at the other place) had the expiration date clearly marked on them. They also worked without a hitch. When a battery doesn't work on a product such as 3D glasses, it's more then unfortunate. It's mis-leading and can become fretful. I was concerned that a 150.00 pair of 3D glasses were defective. No battery should be sold without a clearly marked expiration date and without it being tested if they've been left to sit around so long.

I've learn to only purchase BRAND items for internal usage for any electronic. This is an original LG car charger. It is a small & slender all in one unit, so you don't have to worry about losing or misplacing adapter. Hasn't stop working, gives a fast charge, works with several different cell phones and has a red light indicator. Can't beat the price, compared to the $30 they charge at Brick and Motar stores or provider. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because the cord from charger to phone is short and tight, but I'm sure with normal wear & tear it'll eventually stretch out (like the old house phone cords).

Hobart 500539 Trek 180 Battery-Powered or 115-Volt Corded Portable MIG Welder
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I was on the fence for a while as to if the Trek 180 was really worth the money and would actually serve my needs. I worried that the duty cycle and battery life might make this welder more of a novelty than a useful welder.

My primary reason for considering the Trek was it's off the grid welding capability. My family and friends are in to sand cars and nearly every trip some one breaks some thing and the car is down for the rest of trip. Usually a simple weld job would get the car back in to play and save the trip.

Given the cost of fuel alone to haul a trailer full of toys to the dunes the cost of the Trek 180 is irrelevant! Nothing worse than going for a week long trip and having a break down on the first day.

I considered a corded 110 welder and borrowed a Lincoln 140 to see if I could run if off my Honda 2000i generator (great little geni), but it was not near enough power neither was the 2500 watt inverter in the toyhauler. So a corded 110 welder was out. Plugged in to garage the Lincoln 140 was able to make some decent welds on my buggy frame, but had to cranked up to 95% of it's power to make an acceptable weld.

Well I took the plunge and ordered the Trek 180 any way.

When it arrived I lifted it out of the packaging and it was smaller and lighter than I expected. The out side of the Trek is made like a military style hard polymer ribbed case, very robust, I am surprised Hobart does not mention this in there description.

After charging the Trek for 2 hours per the instructions prior to the first use, I set it up at power level 6 of 10 and welded a 4" piece of exhaust tubing to a 1/4" flange. On battery power only I was able to weld all the way around with out the charge status light changing at all. The weld was better than I expected, very little splatter and very nice bead after knocking the flux off. I did not even have to grind the weld to pretty it up!

This was another concern I had, how well flux core welds would end up looking, would I need to get a tank of gas to make a pretty welds?

Other cheap flux core machines from Harbor some thing made ugly though functionable welds and I was not about to spend this kind of money for those kind of results. As already stated the Trek makes surprisingly nice welds and I am no longer considering purchasing a tank.

Back to welding, I took a couple of scrap pieces of 3/16 thick steal 6" long and welded them from one end to the other. I did this a couple of times and then turned the Trek to full power to see what it would do. Welding over the top of the previous welds I made it about 5" sweeping side to side about 3/4" wide before the low voltage light came on and I had to stop.

I was able to weld the first project and the test pieces all on one charge. No question at all I could repair any of the break downs I have had on a single charge!

The next day I decided to see how well the Trek would do plugged so I used two more scraps of 3/16 by 1" by 6" and started welding set to power level 8 I made several passes taking some breather breaks and found I could weld about three times as long while plugged in only loosely respecting the recommended duty cycle.

On battery the machine performs as advertised, but while plugged in the Trek welds hotter and for at least as long as as any other 110 welder I have used.

The Trek 180 does many things well an is with out question the most powerful 110 welder you can get, while you are not going to be able to open a fabrication shop using this machine, you will be able to most every thing the average DIY guy needs to do. This machine is quality!

Absolutely outstanding welder. Choose your wire carefully as it seems to perform

much better with .30 wire and smaller. Simply plan on making multiple passes and

you will find that the welds are very good quality. I wouldn't bother setting it

up with gas as it's endurance simply isn't worth the trouble of all the extra baggage.

It really shines as a flux core wire emergency welder which can take on some of the

fieldwork usually reserved for big gas powered welder. Just having it sitting in

my work truck gives me such peace of mind as it can certainly tack together most

equipment problems well enough to finish the day and then properly repair it. Has

saved me many thousands in just the few months I've owned it.

I have found I can get a 1/2" weld about 4-6" long on a single charge. Takes a bunch

of passes and cleaning between them due to the light wire but we're only talking about

15 to 20 minutes of time to put a down machine back to work at least though the end of

the day.

I can't recommend this welder strongly enough.

Best Deals for Hobart 500539 Trek 180 Battery-Powered or 115-Volt Corded Portable

hi! i bought this welder because i needed a portable welder that i could use without being plugged in. i live in a 3rd floor apartment in brooklyn, so i need to weld outside and i don't have access to power when i'm out on the sidewalk. it was a toss up between this, the broco goweld, and the readywelder, but this won out because the other two aren't adjustable for voltage (unless adding or removing batteries counts) and with the other two, you will need to provide the batts and a way to charge them, and carry them. this one is a little more expensive, but i think it's worth it. in fact if you don't already have 2 or 3 other batteries around and a charger this might even end up being cheaper!!

i just took it out and welded the exhaust back together on my car. since it's fairly thin metal i had it turned down low, i probably did about 10 minutes worth of actual welding and the battery didn't die. the welds look good (for a beginner trying to use flux-core on thin, rusty exhaust pipe) and the welder performed well.

all in all, awesome. i'm glad i finally bought it!! i would recommend it highly.

**one thing hobart missed though: since it's marketed toward off-road types and can be charged with a power inverter, why not also have a 12volt charging port? it has two 12-volt batteries inside so it probably would have been pretty easy to charge them directly from automotive power. instead, to charge in your car you need to get a power inverter to convert your car's 12 volts DC to 120 volts AC so the welder can covert the 120 volts AC to 12 volts DC to charge the 12 volt batteries... even still, this welder is great so far and i plan to get a power inverter so i can charge it up where ever i bring it.

if you're on the fence, just do it!! you won't regret it!!

Honest reviews on Hobart 500539 Trek 180 Battery-Powered or 115-Volt Corded Portable

I recently bought this welder and I absolutely love it, its portability! I'm a weekend DIY (do-it-yourselfer) guy, and I have been welding for about two years now--so I don't ever get involved with anything more than 1/4" thick metal at the most. Anyway, I really like the option to be "off the grid" and being able to haul this welder anywhere (e.g., camping, four-wheeling, to a friend's house for a quick-fix welding job for them, in a parking lot, etc.). It is extremely well made, durable, and easy to setup. My first fabrication project involved upgrading the wheels (casters) on a Craftsman "creeper" that I have had forever. I wanted casters with brake knobs on them, so when I am laying underneath a vehicle using the creeper I would not roll around when I am wrenching on a tough bolt. The problem was the upgrade 3" casters with brakes that I bought from a local Harbor Freight store could not spin freely; the larger casters were hitting the creeper's frame rail. So I welded tiny, rectangular 16-gauge steel plates to cover over the existing four corner holes for a total of eight weld points (4 plates on each side of the frame), then drilled new holes just to the inside of where the previous holes were so the casters could then spin freely from their new location. The short version is the welder performed flawlessly, with good penetration, a nice even weld puddle, and sharp-looking welds, even at lower voltage using .030 E71T-GS wire. Once you get your settings dialed in for the job at hand, you won't want to stop welding with this machine.

This is a very well built machine. I purchased this machine to be able to weld off grid for small emergency repairs, It does a fantastic job for that task. I have welded with it just on a 50' ext cord also and it welded great.

I have only used it for flux core use so I cannot comment on its ability to weld with gas.

I would recommend this machine to anybody needing needing to weld off grid for small repairs or can only use 110 v.

Even though these products are generic, they work fine. I lost the charger to my coolpix camera, and this came with a new battery, a car/wall charger, and a data cable. All for less than it would be to buy an OEM charger.

I was not expecting much because of the low price, but the battery charges fine, and it charges my OEM battery too. It does exactly what I bought it for. I would highly recommend this product.

I didn't expect much from this, especially due to the low price. However, for less than the price of the USB cable at my local camera shop, I got the cable, a spare battery and a battery charger (plus a car adapter that I will never use). Everything works as advertised and I'm happy I took the chance. A pleasant surprise. (|:{>

I love the convenience of the travel charger and how quickly the battery charges. The generic battery works just as well as the Nikon battery and the two cables that are included are a great bonus. This package is a great deal at a great price :)

This is a great value and the quality was better than I expected. The battery capacity is higher than the standard Nikon EN-EL12 battery. The charger was able to charge all of my batteries (I have three OEM Nikon EN-EL12 batteries) quickly and without problems.

This charger keeps its charge for many months and started my car right up. I have used it to help people that need a jump and after sitting in my car for months it started my car up and still didn't need to be charged again.
