My Solar Power Setup

• Brunton Solaris 12: 12 volt flexible solar panel. UPC 0-80078-00563. Obtained from Amazon.com.
• Female-to-Female Adaptaplug Socket Cable, Radio Shack Catalog number 273-1740
• Adaptaplug "M", 5.5x2.1mm plug, Radio Shack Catalog Number 273-1716 (plug that almost fits the XO)
• Adaptaplug "N", 5.5x2.5mm plug, Radio Shack catalog number 273-1717 (plug that fits the solar panel)

The XO power socket requires a plug 5.5mm outside diameter and 1.7mm inside diameter. Radio SHack doesn't have a plug in this size. I'm using the 5.5x2.1 plug with some success (takes a little wiggling to get it going), others have had success with a 4.7x1.7mm plug (Radio Shack Adaptaplug "C", cat no. 273-1706).

Let me know how it goes for you on my Talk Page
