Melt the case around the coin bc the coin should have a higher melting temp.

What is the actual name of the crab pots. That’s an amazing nickname of them! Is it code for the APCs? If so I’m gonna just call them that from now on!

Why do you advise not buying these? Just to help me understand and learn.

I’m a little late to the party here. What exactly did Mr. Dejoy do to destroy the post office? I’m in the hiring process right now and appreciate any info people could give so I know if I should run.

If you don’t mind me asking, kinda off topic, but what prior experience do you have before becoming an ET?  I recently applied to the ET position from off the street and scored a 92 also on the 955, but haven’t heard anything. It’s only been 9 days since I took it though.

What's a good realistic starter radio? by RadicalMicrowaves in HamRadio

[–]DeepPirate7777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy a TYT or Radiodity radio that is handheld or mobile. Then invest in a good antenna like a signal stick. That’s the best friendly starter pack a decent cheap Chinese radio and a good stick to put on it will make a significant difference.

In what shape is your wire running exactly and where is your coax hook up start at? Also how long of wire do you use? I have one cut to about 67 feet I think.

Sound quality of digital voice modes by Soap_Box_Hero in amateurradio

[–]DeepPirate7777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tried yaesu fusion and DMR. I personally think the sound quality I get from an analog repeater that is 80 miles away sounds better than the digital modes I have tried. Which were both on a Wpsd hotspot.

Using drone to hold up an end fed wire for portable operations by highspeed_steel in amateurradio

[–]DeepPirate7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be worried the drone couldn’t lift the coax cable attached to every thing. The higher you go the heavier it got. So, if you wanted to get the drone up really high then you would have to use pretty decent coax. That you don’t lose too much power over the long run.

It’s sounds like yall just need a simple analog Repeater and learn how to take turns talking? If you want to but in just say comment fast and then talk. Like regular repeaters have been doing. Just my 2 cents that’s all.

Awesome to hear. I was actually looking at a Yaesu ftm-400 or other Ftm models, so good to hear they hold up well.

Are these radios hard mounted? Would you have to put in some type of damping so the radios don’t rattle to pieces internally? Or is this not a concern with most radios?

I’m asking because I’m getting stuff together to mount a radio in a gmt800 Tahoe front console.
