Brand new Hummingbird RK HELP?

Hello All

Is there a power button for antenna?
Nitrogen filled tires. Checking and filling?

Power button is a tiny white button on the outlet cover where your coaxial cable for the TV attaches on the wall over the bed. Push the button and you'll see a tiny green light come on. Remember to turn it off during storage to prevent the extra (small) power draw.

Nitrogen is overplayed in my opinion, mine are now filled with good old compressed air....which luckily contains some Nitrogen (78% free Nitrogen) . Nitrogen allegedly leaks less, which in turn saves fuel mileage, and blah, blah, blah. I even have a nitrogen tank for filling shocks and won't buy into the hype and definitely won't waste my Nitrogen on tires.

We didn't do anything to join, maybe we should have, but it was my understanding that we were automatically signed up for a year at the time of purchase.

Interesting, before we drove off the lot with our HB 17RK the tech told us he'd inflated the tires to the recommended pressure, but didn't mention nitrogen.

Mine have nitrogen too. We had nitrogen in our Jeep tires. In the heat in Las Vegas I can say our tire pressure didn't change much between winter and summer . Vegas is so hot in the summer and out tires didn't need any adjusting...Now years later we had the option of running 20 miles to the dealer and get them filled for free,,,,but we have a compressor and just add air at this point. The air we breathe is 80/20 nitrogen/O2. I guess you lose some benefits of the nitrogen by adding compressed air, but if it's a small amount. Sure beats running the tires low... But in this Vegas heat we have had very good experiences with nitrogen in our tires....I think weather would be a factor in wether it's worth the extra money.
