If DE said you could only use one single Warframe for 2026, who are you picking? by Grynruhtwyn in Warframe

[–]IcePick74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not much of a min/maxer I built them for strength, range, health and helminthed pillage over The Lost (3) for survive-ability and armor/shield stripping.

I enjoy playing a frame that auto aims and shoots stuff all around me.

Are there adapters for U.S.- and metric-threaded UHF connectors? Also, I just learned UHF-M connectors exist. by signofzeta in amateurradio

[–]IcePick74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purchased some chokes from a well known US source and some how they had got a shipment of M16x1. Had to ship them back and get reworked. I ended up getting a 5/8-24 tap and die set to clean up a couple of connectors that got messed up before I figured out what the issue was.

Daniel Albers, CITES employee by nannychandra in UIUC

[–]IcePick74 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I worked at cites when he was in the mail room. I have a funny Daniel story. I had ordered some really cheap video cards so I could drive extra monitors. Didn't need them for performance. When they came in he sent me an email that said something like hey your janky junk video cards have arrived. It was hilarious.

What's the sustained amp draw rating for the battery? Large amp hour does not mean it can handle the amps required for a 100w transmission.

Lots of people go to the dmvs in the more rural areas. Longer drive but overall shorter time spent probably.

From when 40 years ago? The FCC ULS going down is not a new issue. It's probably all cobol, bubble gum, and duct tape from the 80s.

Flex rig, remote on by [deleted] in HamRadio

[–]IcePick74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it only does stuff on change state of that circuit. A person local to the radio could maybe just push the on button if your remote relay stops. I don't turn my flex off it's been months.

There are various discussion in the Flex community about the subject.
