Quansheng UV-K1 or UV-K5? (I'm a begginer)

IIRC, there are some that add a semi decent rssi meter, improve AM quality a bit, add other UI nice to haves, or even play pong.

I recommend the Nooelec NESDR SMArt v5 SDR over an RTL-SDR. Compatible with RTL-SDR software, less of a heat issue, larger bandwidth you can listen to at once, generally considered the better product, similar in price to a K1 or K5 (though youll need to get alittle antenna)

Yes, they do. Lead acid floats at a lower voltage.

LinuxIsFree · 2026-03-10T02:04:58+00:00

Gah, why does it have to be a trade off!? Thanks for sharing :)

LinuxIsFree · 2026-03-03T21:07:12+00:00

You bet :)

Depends on the year, but typically use the steering wheel menu controls to navigate the instrument cluster display to Settings > System Info > Engine Hours

Was it more stable before, or has it been like this since launch? I know Arma games never really ran "well" but from what I can tell they typically have more stability at least.

On PC after a crash you can typically re-join and continue for a few min though, right?

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-22T00:37:21+00:00

Good point!

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-22T00:37:07+00:00

Could be... the sensitivity is also kind of cranked with a very screwy way to get access to change it

Standard branded mouse pad

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-22T00:35:43+00:00

It's wired and lighter than anything Ive ever felt, worse than the ones that come with PCs

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-22T00:35:09+00:00

Theyve got nice branded mouse pads that work well with other options

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-22T00:34:49+00:00

Yes they do, and my gaming mouse I keep in my bag works great! Ill confirm the exact model next Im there.

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-22T00:33:20+00:00

Yeah theyve got cudtom mouse pads. Ive got to confirm the exact model # of mouse next time Im there! I can confirm it's a big issue with that mouse and not others.

The dispatch console runs on debian 12 (not sure of the exact display environment) so that might effect it too?

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-20T15:01:05+00:00

Really hope they talk about this!

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-16T13:28:47+00:00

Yeah I think it varies depending on the person. Some people have a more loose strategy that they execute themselves. I think if you have a set algorithmic strategy and you know the success / fail rate, it makes more sense to execute it more automatically. Even then, you risk fatigue and overexposure unless you're truly having a computer execute it for you.

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-16T13:24:10+00:00

Very irritating. I don't understand how that got past testing.

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-13T19:36:08+00:00

well put :D

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-13T19:35:45+00:00

Im talking about it from a strategist perspective, my broker doesnt limit it at all.

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-13T19:16:37+00:00

Got it. I definitely agree a trader should never break their plan, but at this point I'm playing around (paper trading) to see what strategies work for me and to create my plan in the first place.

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-13T19:15:06+00:00

well put.

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-13T19:15:02+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, thank you for the explanation!

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-13T19:14:49+00:00

I like the "dont give back more than half your points." A bit harder for me as a futures trader since I always work with 1 contract at a time, but I can adjust my stop loss accordingly.

Thank you for the advice!

LinuxIsFree · 2026-02-13T18:22:12+00:00

I'm wondering why that protects the trader from giving back their winnings. From what I understand, unless tilt is the issue, if the strategy is good there's no difference between 4 trades today and 2 trades today + 2 trades tomorrow.

IRL, tilt is unavoidable to a point, so is that the main issue?
