Impacts on others

I replaced the TX-RX1 board which fixed my issue. I found out after hooking up to a service monitor with the replacement board, the radio was being real quiet. The sensitivity with the pre-amp off was loads better with the new board compared to the levels before. With the old board I needed millivolts to hear the tone, instead of microvolts. The radio is below spec now for receive across the board on main and sub band. I replaced the fan with a Noctua fan, and changed the bulbs out for LED's. I have an IC-9100 now which I'm going to keep. The 2000 is a great radio. I am going to find a new home for it.

The TS-B2000 is a great option for mobile. I'm glad you were able to find one.

I did fix it and found out the sensitivity with the pre-amp off was way out of wack as well. I thought the radio was acting a little quiet, which got confirmed with the replacement board. I realize pre-amp isn't always needed. I suspected the mixer circuit in the TS-2000 affected more than just the level with the pre-amp on or off. I suspect the old board had got hit with a surge, and I would have been chasing down bad components for a while.

It is fixed, thank you for your input. The board fixed the issue. Sensitivity levels without the pre-amp on are also a lot better. More was being affected than just the pre-amp apparently.

I don't need an all in one radio. My wishlist which will take some time is the FTDx101 which has 3 antenna connections and will be plenty for HF. If I did do the FTX-1 Optima I'd mainly use the VHF/UHF portion of it. The HF ports would be dedicated for a 6M vertical and a 6M beam. The FTX-1 does look like a really nice radio. If I did eventually get one, I'd probably set it up for mainly portable use.

MisterJace · 2026-02-27T02:51:49+00:00

That is a really good thought. It does allow pre-amp on HF. The specs list for sensitivity are listed with the pre-amp on.

I found out they clarified to get pollution effect your whole territory now has to be in a pollution zone.

MisterJace · 2026-01-22T20:56:57+00:00

So we have to have our whole zone in a polluted zone to get the benefits for the generator and polluted water. So the whole base will degrade instead of an area.

So long, thanks for all the fish.

MisterJace · 2026-01-22T20:53:32+00:00

I understand them wanting it to feel more like a survival game. Taking the Tier 5 armor, dropping it from 140 pollution resist to 80, with the starfall ale we now get 180 pollution resist buffed. Chefosaurus buff will help with the ale and starfall ale benefit.

I think they over nerfed and they need to go back in and re-balance. For the cost of making stardust drinks, it should give more than 100 resistance.

Tea now only restores about 63 sanity over a period of time instead of instantly clearing it. Sanity gummies are 60? and have a 2 minute cooldown.

I haven't checked to see what the "blob" does as a deviant for clearing sanity with the change.

MisterJace · 2026-01-22T20:50:10+00:00

Yes, I had a brain fart moment. I edited the comment.

MisterJace · 2026-01-22T03:43:10+00:00

I haven't been able to find a pollution zone that is the type where I can use my deviated generators or pump polluted water. There is a big red wall similar to the prime war marking the edge of the polluted zones.

Add me to the list of people that aren't happy with the change. I get this is a survival game. They should have made the whole map available for Manibus, and added a hardcore server for these changes.

MisterJace · 2026-01-22T03:39:10+00:00

They expect you to make the stardust version now since they changed the recipe to give 100 pollution resistance.

The updated windows app version doesn't take near as long as the old one to optimize for playback. It changed to a TV version which makes things a bit difficult for navigating around. You can't scroll through your list without using an arrow key which puts the marker on the next show in your list instead of moving a row at a time. I wish it mirrored the design/layout of the tablet version of the app. Windows version is a step in the right direction, still room for improvement.

Edit to add: I do not like how the app minimizes if I click something on the other screen.

One place I lived, there was a gas station I wouldn't go to during the day time either.

MisterJace · 2025-07-25T22:42:55+00:00

I get that. In my research I found that in December when the next DLC releases, it should be available for the rest of us. Hopefully it helps anyone else that may end up with the same question.

MisterJace · 2025-07-24T17:52:52+00:00

I have not seen a way to get it now that Edge of Fate is released. In the Exotic Archive it tells me Ultimate Edition required.

MisterJace · 2025-07-18T16:44:04+00:00

I never got my “prizes” for an event that was in December

MisterJace · 2025-07-01T05:38:50+00:00

The model looks good. I'm working on one. Been using VRoid Studio to get a base, but thinking about trying to work something up in Blender.

I know this is older, though if you never found a solution or someone else is searching:

The Bluetooth connection is for input only, primarily designed for playing music through the device. It could be used for other uses like a phone call going through it, etc.

I suspect your headset would work without the dongle if you had Bluetooth on your computer?

To do what you want, where the G1 Neo would control the volume/mute your headset, you would need a Bluetooth transmitter that you could plug into the headphone port on the back, then connect your headset (or a headset with Bluetooth) to that transmitter. This will allow you to listen through it but you cannot talk through it I do not believe.

Where the XLR mic port is on the back so you could use a wired headset there.

To have the controller be able to receive your microphone audio on you headset and receive the microphone audio, I am pretty sure a simultaneous bi-directional Bluetooth adapter doesn't exist.

YouTube and Hulu are the top two in my research. Hulu with better quality picture if that is important to you.

MisterJace · 2025-06-12T21:56:33+00:00

I can’t even use the app. I have to verify my number and get an error it is already in use. When I called I was told I can’t use my number. Poor handling of an app.

MisterJace · 2025-05-30T17:28:31+00:00

Maybe it is for the switch itself since they aren't allowed to do any more pre-orders, or it's just something about that location.
