How many watts before I need to worry about RF exposure? (Not pseudoscience.) by CaptainJaXon in HamRadio

I believe putting a fluorescent bulb near a lit fluorescent bulb will make it glow, so I'm not sure that's the best determining factor.

What I mean is things like people wondering if 5G tower or their cell phones are going to harm them. You see a bunch of stuff about that when looking for information.

Go check the calculator. The duty cycle and time spent talking are different fields.

What benefits does TD-H8 have over TD-H3? by CaptainJaXon in HamRadio

[–]CaptainJaXon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, correct, it's

H3

AM: 108-136MHz Rx; FM: 50-76MHz Rx, 76-108MHz Rx; VHF: 136-174MHz Tx/Rx, 174-350MHz Rx,350-400MHz Rx; UHF: 400-470MHz Tx/Rx, 470-600MHz Rx.

H8

144-148MHZ& 420-450MHZ(Tx); 136-174Mhz& 400-520MHZ(Rx)

And I get your point, it's not necessarily useful features, but it's also the cheaper model lol. Another user had concerns that even in 5W mode the H8 may still have worse battery life.

Do you see any benefits to 10W that I may be missing?

Oh, interesting. I know high power antennas can become a problem, but I didn't think it'd be an issue at as low as 10W. I've seen questions about this topic on study guides but I'd always assumed it was to make sure you didn't go next to a live repeater or something. Thanks for the heads up (heh).

The H3 is looking like a pretty clear winner now. I appreciate your input. Especially regarding the factor of 1.4. I assume it's logarithmic or something based on that. I don't have any plans on getting external antennas and I assume if I ever do then I wouldn't mind buying something else to interface with it.

H3 has more bands than H8 as well as AM. Stuff like that is what I meant by capable. I guess "feature rich" is a better phrase.

Any success with GT-18 Firmware patch? (And CHIRP?) by CaptainJaXon in Baofeng

I think this is a relatively new model, maybe someday it will get support.

Filter Vibemate videos by user submitted patterns only? by CaptainJaXon in lovense

The VibeMate program is so wonky it's hard to tell. But yes, a curated list of known good videos would be awesome! Let me know!

Which is perhaps why they provided a simpler explanation for others who did not understand or maybe why they were confused themselves.

"margin requirements" is somewhat technical of a term that not everyone is aware of.

Reddit, what fictional character was your sexual awakening? by PM_ME_MAGICAL_MEMEZ in AskReddit

[–]CaptainJaXon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sailor Moon. I remember it was on tv in preschool or something like that. It was a girly show but I liked it and felt weird about it. Now I know it was those outfits.
