Any idea of maximum drive size it will recognise? 2GB? 😬 I’ve got an IDE to Compact Flash adapter which might work with a memory card partitioned to a small size? Let me know if you want it - happy to post it.

I like Raspberry Pi’s for running 24x7 stuff like PiHole, Homebridge, NAS etc. But many bargain small PCs on eBay etc. which are way more powerful than a Pi and cheaper - bought a Lenovo V520s 8GB RAM 500GB SSD i5-7400 for £35 inc delivery - felt a bit guilty! Many for sale as Win11 not supported 🙄

Is a Pi4 powerful enough to run FT8 properly? On a busy band does it not run out of time and so you miss some decodes/stations?

Happy Birthday 6502

AI generated image of a trophy which features figurine of Jocky Wilson the darts player.

I asked AI to create an image of a “Jocky Wilson Trophy” for reasons which are complicated… the result is superb! Presume AI knew it was for a joke so put the darts the wrong way round for comedic effect 🤔

🙈🙉🙊 sorry! 😂

What power supply are you using? 16.4V seems a bit high… 🤔

Compact Cassette tape types and formulations - Wikipedia

Must be tape type if no other switches for that function? Tape types were more complicated than I remember!

Is there an LED somewhere which can be used for tuning on FM stations, or to show peak sound level?

PTT to CAT, split to “fake it”, whack serial speed up and set other serial opts to default. Would also leave mode to None, and make sure FT8 preset in use on the 7300.

Thank you for a very inspiring and positive day at the #EnergyTechSummit So much thought provoking conversation and proof that we can change things for the better. And the best bar ever! 🥂 😂 @octopus.energy @gjuk.bsky.social

Happy Midsummer! 🌞

An FT8 preset was included in 1.41 firmware…
Have you tried that?

Still got quite a few issues from that era… do I win £5?

Just avoid the ones with “glucose syrup” on the list of ingredients…

What happened with Mint?? 🤔 I’ve installed it on a variety of hardware over the years and it’s always been successful. Even upgrades between major versions seem OK now. Worth persevering if you can bear it..

Please add a warning if non-eco 7 tariff would be cheaper option for the customer! Some customers are only on eco 7 tariff due to inheriting legacy meter and are overpaying.

I wonder who bought this personalised plate… got to be a retro computer fan surely?!

I’m working on migrating away from MS products across the family - it’s just too annoying now. Updates that take hours to install, “AI” forced into apps/OS, OneDrive file sharing broke last year, forced upgrade to Win11 and 3 year old laptop not good enough apparently. Will sink or swim with Linux!

Very nice… now I just need to win the lottery!

I thought I saw it around 19:55 UTC from SE London (ISS pass was at 19:15 UTC). Not very bright but fast moving, and going along the sort of path I would expect.
