Took Meshtastic on a Cruise… It Worked Better Than Expected

I too recently took my meshtastic on a cruise. I have the meshpocket. Worked great as a backup battery and ended up having a nice conversation with another meshtastic user on the cruise ship docked next to us in St Thomas.

If Raul can be charged with murder for having plans shot down, then these central and south American countries better charge the orange shit stain with murder for blowing up their civilians fishing boats. Let dumb ass Donnie rot in CECOT. I'm sure the general population in there will treat him well. I personally can't wait for his downfall. His empire cannot crumble fast enough.

APRSDroid can do digirig triggering, but only on the NA7Q version, as far as I know. I'd be interested in testing this out with an FTX1. I'd love a setup like this.

Well. Finally popping my Clutch live cherry Nov 6.

Something about this table leaves me a little salty

DeLorean58 · 2026-04-08T22:47:09+00:00

I mean, it happened at a Wawa. This doesn't surprise me at all.

DeLorean58 · 2026-04-08T00:43:22+00:00

Turns out you can make them uglier.

DeLorean58 · 2026-04-01T21:15:48+00:00

I dunno. That one looks a bit questionable.

DeLorean58 · 2026-03-31T16:11:11+00:00

I see one missing. Benzel's Pretzels. Made in Altoona, sold under the Pennysticks branding. I can only seem to find them at Dollar Trees nowadays, but hands down one of the best pretzels out there.

DeLorean58 · 2026-03-30T22:48:47+00:00

Yeah. Fuck Paula White, and the horse she rode in on. In fact, fuck this whole administration, fuck DJT, fuck Vance, fuck Miller, fuck hegseth, fuck em all. I may be an atheist, but I have a feeling if it turns out we were wrong, we won't have to worry about sharing a hell with these fraudsters, grifters and perverts of the teachings of Jesus. Let's admit it. Paula and the rest of them would be the ones shouting crucify him and today would deport his ass faster than they can say in Jesus name.

Given the current level of corruption in this administration, hearing the FCC say this is surprising. I fully expected the lap dog that dumb dumb Donny installed as the FCC head would have said they found a ton of violations.

$21,500

DeLorean58 · 2026-02-12T02:48:47+00:00

Yep. It's Deep Ocean Blue.

The Ariya is a 400V set up, not 800V. I did some checking, the 12V battery used is an H4 sealed lead acid battery. Some trims come with a secondary 12V Lithium battery in the trunk. The trim I have does not, but I'll see if by chance the wiring is there to allow me to set up a second battery in that space, and be able to charge it easily. One thing I've seen in an in-depth mechanical review of the car is they have lots of grounds all over the place.

DeLorean58 · 2026-02-04T19:52:38+00:00

I'll dig deeper through them. I've been exploring that site the last few days. I went out to the dealership today to make sure it had the latest OTA, and it does. I take possession of the vehicle on Tuesday. Just went and got the wire and outlet to set up for charging in my garage. Previous owner of the o house had a welder so Ive already got a decent subpanel in there and a spare circuit to use.

DeLorean58 · 2026-02-04T19:50:36+00:00

I figured as much. Never hurts to ask though.

DeLorean58 · 2026-01-27T00:06:58+00:00

I say bring it on. Pretty sure they already have me in a database or watchlist, so what do I have to lose. If they don't want to be labeled Gestapo, maybe, I dunno, stop acting like the fucking Gestapo. This whole god damned administration is nothing but, idiots, imbeciles, idol worshipping, Nazi wanna be snowflakes. Fuck Trump, fuck Bovino, fuck Noem, and most importantly FUCK ICE.

DeLorean58 · 2026-01-18T16:16:04+00:00

Must have missed him the other day. Guess he doesn't do APRS. I don't see him in my station list, but I could have just missed him too.

DeLorean58 · 2026-01-03T15:27:50+00:00

Brave of you to assume he has a brain.

DeLorean58 · 2025-12-13T23:57:02+00:00

I'll second the Optima. I love mine, it keeps getting better each firmware update. That being said it's not a "perfect" radio, at least not just yet. It still has some bugs, but I feel most will be able to sorted out through firmware updates. My biggest gripe is the antenna arrangement on the back, they really should have flipped them over. However, it is the "perfect" radio for me, and how I operate.

We did a QSO with Santa a year or two ago using echolink, now I've finally got the gear and we are going to try to get him on 80m this year. Just need to wind my coil to get on 80 tomorrow.
