So I bit the bullet and got the pro set 7. These things are super comfy and very good at blocking out the world around me. Thank you everyone for the input and recommendations.

The price between this and the KX base aren’t that far off. So probably a decent comparison. The BP-500 battery pack is difficult to come by, but I am considering making my own. For now, I am using bioenno batteries. I was also torn between this and the KX line but this one was available and I was in a sales tax-free state, so I jumped. Others have compared this with the IC-705. I think the 705 is more fully featured, but not really designed to withstand abuse.

It was down a couple of months ago for me. Recently started working again.

That’s the double edged sword of federation. The owner of the server has ultimate control over the content hosted on it. There are other servers who’s administrators will ban users using hate speech. Look around they are easy to find.

Yeah, they are nice. I was just hoping to upgrade the hand mic. Then I went down a rabbit hole. So I was thinking when out on the lawn I could go total old man style and use a headset. In the end it still means I have to do something with my HM-31. Maybe I’ll just modify the HM-31.

Yeah I can definitely see a situation where they heard something. It was recorded, and then someone put the pieces together. What I doubt happened was the Navy heard something, then concluded that the something they heard was 5 deep ocean tourists dying in a rapid compression event. Then proceeded to keep their mouth shut while the Coast Guard fruitlessly looked for the vessel.

Maybe there was something the Navy could have done more to prevent the search from running for many days. But they had to err on the side of caution. Imagine a world where they said the sub imploded, the Coast Guard gave up looking. Then years later someone found the sub fully intact sitting at the bottom of the ocean. Not a good thing to have on your conscious.

I see your point. And agree with it. Could turn it into a meet up coordination for hams at events and local get togethers…

I like the idea of non-radio chat. I am sure if we all have one hobby in common, others would soon follow.
