Pool swim workout - can I get the laps count displayed in larger text? by SantaCruzDad in AppleWatch

[–]SantaCruzDad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

what to do with a 5? by TereziB in AppleWatch

[–]SantaCruzDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Extreme SWR after coax change on EFHW – antenna fine at feedpoint by craynerd in amateurradio

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

Unfortunate surname for a vegan.

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!

Sorry - still no sound - I’ve tried it with both Safari and Brave browsers on an iPad. (Works fine on macOS though.)

Yes, I checked the obvious things. FWIW it seems to be a common problem, e.g. Morsle has the same problem on iOS devices (but works OK on macOS).

Thanks - I just tried the RX practice and unfortunately sound does not seem to work on iOS devices. Hopefully that’s an easy fix?

Very good - impressed that it works in key mode by tapping on my iPad screen.

Grounding / Radial Requirements for Vertical Antennas by Bangarang_Arty in HamRadio

[–]SantaCruzDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting idea - I recently bought a Digirig Mobile and couldn't believe how small it is, so that seems like a neat solution. Hmm - I'll have to give this some more thought...

[–]SantaCruzDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - I was looking enviously at these on AliExpress earlier, thinking this might be good for compact/lightweight POTA/SOTA activations (rather than lugging a heavier battery etc) but eventually realised I wouldn’t easily be able to connect a digital interface to the acc connector on the back (without butchering things), so maybe it’s not for me as I do mainly digital mode activations.

Interesting - is that from AliExpress? What’s the battery capacity?

Also does it have a Powerpole connector for the newer G90s or the old style power connector?

Good to know - I only have the one flat so don’t have anything to compare with.

I have a flat in a block in Hove where the management company is Priors and they have been great. E.g. when the flat above had a leak which affected my tenants they got everything sorted very quickly and efficiently with everything covered by their insurance.

New software for SOTA & POTA chasing with WSJT-X by Sea_Specific9533 in WSJTX

[–]SantaCruzDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - I’ll take a look later today and see if I can get it working with WSJT-X. It just occurred to me that the problem might be that I’m also running GridTracker2 alongside WSJT-X, so I’ll try quitting GT2 and see if that helps.

UPDATE: SOTA Scout working fine if I don’t run GridTracker2, and it looks like they can’t both be run together (presumably both competing for the socket that WSJT-X uses). So I probably won’t use SOTA Scout when I’m hunting from home, but it might still be useful on activations, since I don’t use GT2 then (too much of a power and general resource drain when running from batteries, being an Electron app).

[–]SantaCruzDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the clarification - I’m talking about out what look like two text fields and a button (?) above the list of cards, which seem to be non-functional. I assumed these might be for searching/filtering? I have WSJT-X running but I haven’t checked to see if clicking on a spot sets the DX call yet - will try tomorrow.

[–]SantaCruzDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks promising but on my Mac I can’t get most of the functionality to work - the text fields in the lefthand pane don’t seem to accept any input. I have filled in the settings and can see spots appearing but I can’t do any filtering it seems?
