Peace. And long life 🖖🏻

I don't do politics on this profile. This is for amateur radio exclusively. The exception is this:
If anyone is happy at the assassination of a human being remove yourself now. Don't comment, don't explain, just go.

Peace is what we need.

I'm such a nerd. I've got ChatGPT set to respond via audio only when I say 'hello computer' I'm making like Scotty now. Who gets the reference?

Finally did a cleanup and added a couple bits to the shack

I despise winter. Even Vegas winter is too cold for my liking

Finally got a long wire up for my SDR. Not great but usable

It seems there are a lot of hams from the UK on here. Had a good couple QSOs with the NW Allstar group on 53573. Also the South Coast Reflector here in the U.S has some good activity. I follow all ham radio accounts and zero political ones.

TikTok won't die. I'll bet you anything Android users will be able to manually download an apk and install. iPhone users will have web browser access either directly or via a vpn

Ham radio humor 🤦🏻‍♂️

Finally back online properly after the cellphone decided to die on me 🤦

Furthest was probably before I was even a ham. 200 miles on a FRS radio when the band was insane. Not bad for a half watt radio

My face when dealing with some radio operators. Being nice isn't hard

Working in at an Airport today is going to be 'fun'. Taking the 878 because I know I'm going to hear craziness. Need to get a trunking enabled scanner though

In other news, had a nice little ragchew on the South Coast Reflector earlier.

Just blocked two people. If you're profile says you're an 'investor' and deal in crypto don't waste your time

I've got the app. North Korea is fun though I prefer listening via SDR. Definitely get some exotic stations on there.

Who remembers this?

Oh I don't know. I love the sound and muality of Motorola but definitely need a VFO for all the scanning I do. Need to get an Anytone 578 as my 878 isn't cutting it anymore

Got the Star Trek reference immediately. Love it 🖖

There are quite a few hams on here but it seems very skewed towards the United Kingdom. I'm following just about all the accounts I can find but U.S. hams definitely seem to be the minority

I might just hear you if you get on Allstar or DMR somewhere. No HF here apart from regular RX via SDRs around the world

Amateur radio as a hobby, work in McCarran Las Vegas Airport restaurant for work and regularly listen to random airlines and agencies. Radio is radio whether it's ham, GMRS, scanning or otherwise 🖖

I agree. For me I much prefer talking. But I won't fault anyone who does prefer not talking

Same. Amateur radio, SWL and scanner posts.

That's where I can't help you. I don't know much about either. But I did tag a Fusion group earlier and they can help with that. For the rest read, research and even use AI like Copilot and you can learn a lot.

Oh. That's why. Neither radio is capable of DMR. Your Yaesu does Fusion. Your Icom does Dstar. The guys at @nwfg.bsky.social can help you with Fusion.

That depends on your radio. They're all different. Which radio do you have?

I have no idea what you just asked. Do you mean how do you find all that in your radio menu? Or how do you find which repeater uses what color codes?
