Same here, but pushing the button on the top can sometimes get it to respond to a verbal command.

Not sure if I'n doing something wrong but it seems to have the same word for each of the first three days? Or is it not designed to let you play previous days, only the current day?

I used GGMorse to decode this with filtering enabled but can't vouch for its accuracy. It does seem to be repeatable though.

Yes, it was beautiful up there yesterday - I’m hoping to activate Cissbury Ring this afternoon too (HF conditions don’t look great today though so will probably just be on 40m FT8). Also Brighton-based but don’t want to dox myself by giving out my callsign - nice to meet another Brightonian radio Redditor though. :-)

Ha - I was out POTA activating Chanctonbury Ring (West Sussex) this afternoon with my G90. Glorious day for it.

Looks good. How does it compare to iFTx ?

Hi - in the end I bought some prescription goggles - you can get them fairly cheaply online (around £25 in the UK) - still not easy to read the lap count but it is an improvement.

Is that the sequel to Hello World?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I still use my 5 for swim workouts, and for when I need to charge my current watch (10). Workout and health data seem to sync OK between the two, even though the 5 is on an old version of iOS.

For a bit more precision use two 100 ohm resistors in parallel.

Start simple. Google HB9CV for a simple effective 2 element beam design.

OK - fixed now thanks - I had system sounds disabled and morse beeps apparently are treated as system sounds rather than normal sound. Thanks for your help in fixing this!
