M17 is cool stuff. Looking forward to their HT being completed. :) For now an MD-380 can be modified fairly easily. or Droidstar can be used.

All the volunteers could operate under the site license. Maybe?

Microsoft Surface Pro 7, 8 Gb Ram, 128 Gb storage. I was running Linux on it, but just recently made the switch back to Windows.

The Wyse terminal is a smart design choice. These older desktop / terminal systems have plenty of power to run a specialized software package, and they tend to last way longer than the manufacturer intended.

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

I completed the codeplug. I will send it to the folks over at PAPA systems so they can post it. It is a lot of work to build so if I can save people some headache I will.

About 1/2 way through building the codeplug. If anyone is a PAPA member I will submit it to the web team for availability on the website.

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.

Shari nodes are pretty cool. Honestly I jump around a lot between all my nodes. I use one for my D-Star stuff, and another for DMR/M17. M17 is a work in progress. The thing I like most about SHARI nodes, you build them yourself. It feels less like buying a product, and more like buying a fun project. Mine took me about 2 hours to build up. I have a reasonable amount of linux experience.

Building the codeplug for this thing is pretty epic. Of course the code plug isn’t the same as the one for the 390.
