Once again OF, I thank you for your time and help. May I ask how often you use your LB? I can't agree with MF doing a credible job with their PS as I have gone through 6 of them in about two years. Some have failed almost immediately and others have slowly degraded to the point that it doesn't...

I didn't think about ohms, which is why I'm trying to learn by asking. Is there a formula or can it it be explained to a layman? I really appreciate any help with this. Even if it's something I couldn't build, it would be nice to understand how it works. I understand volts and amps, how does...

They still can't do it right! It seems to me that it's a matter of volts and amps. I think their problem was making it small enough to be convenient, which I'm not so concerned about.

Is it possible for someone without a lot of knowledge to make a power supply for the LB? I know (thanks to this forum) that it draws 15 amps. I tested the current PS I have, at the lowest setting it puts out 1.35v and maxed out it is 1.95v. I have a 12vdc 30a power supply from my old RC racing...

I thought I would give a follow up to my never ending power supply problems. When MF informed me that they would not send me anymore replacements even if they failed within the 90 day warranty period, I decided to make sure this one would not have a chance to fail at the connection as so many...

So you are using the battery pack to run your PA, correct? I was hoping you made a battery pack to run the LB directly.

I looked up the batteries you mentioned. Am I correct in understanding you were running 11 volts into your box?

I was right, the switch did tap off the negative and runs back to the board in the box. I took one of the dummy batteries apart and I honestly can only see one design flaw. It doesn't appear to have any broken wires. There is a white and black wire of heavier gauge, and a smaller gauge yellow...

Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. Nothing's ever easy is it? Would you happen to have a build thread on your battery pack somewhere? Do you know how the wiring from the box to the LB works? I'm pretty sure I have two that the electronics work, but it loses connection at the dummy...

This is what I sent to MF when the last PA died. "My 2.1 PA failed last night and to be honest, I'm sick and tired of dealing with a product that clearly has design flaws. Before you go on about how it's unusual to have to replace the PA so many times, I have read enough reviews of people...

I've got a 2 D cell holder that I reworked to run them in parallel for a portable battery pack. Do you know of any D cells that would work with the LB? I don't know the term for a battery that "flows" enough power to work with the LB. I do have a pair of 3AA to a D cell adapters, and could use...

You were smart enough to skip the 2.1! Since I have been having so many failures, I have been searching for reviews in the 2.1. Many times I've read about people with 2.0s not having any problems. I know if this was my company, and I was getting so many returns and bad reviews, I would be...

The first one had the connection problem from day 1. A few months after I got it, it got put away for about 6 months. When I broke it back out, it wouldn't work at all. They were nice enough to warranty it as it had this problem from day one. The replacement lasted about 1 month. The next...

Power supply number 5 has just died. I'm love my LB, but without a decent power supply that can last more than a few weeks, it's useless to me. I use it between 10 and 15 times a day and batteries are not going to cut it. I just sent an email to MF explaining that I am not satisfied with...

I too noticed my performance was dropping, I thought maybe my year old batteries were getting weak. Then I noticed my screen was worn through. I just got my replacement and what a difference! I will admit I have had problems with some of their quality control, but they have replaced each one of...

I saw a while back people looking for cheap alternative to the Orbitor. While I would like to have an Orbitor, it's just not in the budget now. I was searching for something on ebay and a little skull water pipe for under $10 came up. It seemed the right size (3.4"), and cheap enough to see if...

I've already read complaints on the 3.0, I hope it's just a random problem this time.From what I've read (and my experience) there are two problems, one is the wires failing at the dummy battery, and then the electronics just failing. Mounting the electronics directly to the dummy battery, and...

OF, thank you for the explanation, although I will admit I didn't follow all of it. My 4th replacement of the 2.1 just arrived, any bets on how long this one lasts? The one this is replacing lasted less time than it took to get the replacement.

If the walwart for the PA has an output of 2 amps, how does it power something that needs 15?

That is exactly what I did.Let's see if this works. https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/SRWG4hbkfnfEryfSOui8wLC5rTVPEQJyMBMgMZ8osB7 I guess I'm doing something wrong. If I copy the link and paste it into the window that pops up when you click the image icon, all I get is
