These things are cool. I was given a Bencher BY1 from the son of a silent key. This was the first use the key got since 2007. Kind of nice to have a really nice key and an awesome platform to learn on. Highly recommend this platform

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.

Yeah for most people time accuracy can be had with a stratum 3 NTP server. In this case I was looking at your project for my HackRF. But it leads down that rabbit hole of should I go overkill and use rhodium vs an OXCO, then that lead down the rabbit hole of NTP servers with multiple disciplines. :)

Bummer, it looks like the i-Gate github page hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. This seems like a promising project. it does look like the original project is more active.

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.

Chips, with no dip. Some reason I like them plain. But, I will never turn down anything that resembles dip.

I was reading a post on the other site about a guy who really had a bad experience. I guess he posted asking questions about material on the test but phrased them in the first person. A number of people really lit him up. Basically accused him of being a war criminal. Needless to say we really should self police when we see stuff like that going on.

Do you have documentation on this? I would like to build one.

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.
