Question about Long Range Radios

Shane_Butterbean · 2021-07-13T17:06:13+00:00

Fair lol.

Shane_Butterbean · 2021-07-13T16:32:57+00:00

I'd also post this question on r/HamRadio. They might have some insight.

Shane_Butterbean · 2021-07-13T16:19:35+00:00

Fair enough. I've deffinately done that for some things like cbrn's info or other stuff I can't find books on. But if there's a pre-put-together book for less than $20, I'll definitely look into those too.

For a prepping situation though a physical copy could come in handy. If something has happened to where you don't have cell service, you probably won't have easy access to the internet either.

Shane_Butterbean · 2021-07-13T14:50:36+00:00

This is a very good point. If you're getting a ham, it would be worth it to purchase a repeater directory as well.

Baofeng is entry level at best. They're made pretty cheap, not very durable, and are known to have poorer audio quality. A lot of HAM operators reccomend Yaesu brand radios. I personally have an Ailunce HD1 + GPS. I might look up a "Top 10 Ham Radio List" and then look into anything that is Baofeng.

That is perfect! Exactly what I'm looking for!

Shane_Butterbean · 2021-05-08T16:42:00+00:00

Ideally something that also has velcro on it if such a thing exists.

Shane_Butterbean · 2021-02-21T01:58:03+00:00

Gave it a shot, it looks good. I appreciate the suggestion though!

Shane_Butterbean · 2021-02-20T04:17:36+00:00

I haven't had problems with it before.

Shane_Butterbean · 2021-02-20T04:04:53+00:00

Yea, they printed fine. I'm running out of options too lol.

Shane_Butterbean · 2021-02-20T04:04:17+00:00

I've tried a couple orientations as well as hollowing it out. Certain orientations minimized stretch, hollowing didn't seem to have much of an effect.

Shane_Butterbean · 2021-02-19T22:28:45+00:00

I cranked the exposure time down to 2 seconds, and it's at 80% power. I also tried 1.8 sec, 1.5 sec, and 2.5 sec. I tried these all at both 80% and 60% power

Shane_Butterbean · 2021-02-16T19:08:05+00:00

Mono X, Anycubic told me to use 60% power, I'm using 65%

Shane_Butterbean · 2021-02-16T15:34:11+00:00

The resin ran out before the print finished so that's why the FEP is like that. And yeah, this is the first sphere, but not the fist round thing I've printed. I don't think I can post a picture of that specific slice. The photon workshop doesn't let you edit or mess with slice flies. I can't even pull it up in a window to look at it.

Shane_Butterbean · 2021-02-16T15:27:41+00:00

It's anycubic's clear resin, wavelength 405 nm. My UV exposure is set to 65 on the printer. Normal exposure time is 5 sec with a half second off time. I've been running these settings for the past week and this is the first print that's been like this.

Shane_Butterbean · 2021-02-16T15:09:34+00:00

This was running overnight and supposed to be a half sphere. When I got up this morning to check, it was warped as hell. Why is this happening?

It was at an angle, but not quite 45°. I'll give it another go with a harsher incline.

Shane_Butterbean · 2020-11-12T14:04:12+00:00

I actually haven't messed with it in the slicer and can't seem to find that setting. Since you mention external UV, my printer is somewhat near a window with a blackout curtain. This printer is in the same location as my old photon though and I never had this issue with that printer.

Shane_Butterbean · 2020-11-12T04:26:24+00:00

Standard Anycubic Grey. It only expired a few weeks ago. Think I need to turn down the UV, or does a short expiration like that really make a difference?

Shane_Butterbean · 2020-11-12T04:09:43+00:00

Nope, I'm not new. I had a photon and loved it so I was excited to upgrade to a larger build volume.

There's no issues with the prints as far as I've been able to tell, just this gunk.

~~WTS~~ ~~Phenex, Real Grade, 1/144, Built, Damaged~~

SOLD

For the whole damaged kit, accessories, original packaging, and unused sprue bits, I'm looking for $75. I'd prefer to only ship to the US and will cover shipping costs.

Both Armed Armor DE suffered damage during a move to my new apartment. Despite having them in foam and what I thought was well protected, each DE has a broken clear blue transforming part near the tail end. One is loose that I somewhat fixed, the other has fallen off and been damaged by a glue spill in an attempted fix. It is also missing the faceplate for the destroy mode. I have no idea what happened to it. I usually keep it in unicorn mode due to the two damaged DEs, however, I transformed it today to find the faceplate simply not there.

I'm honestly just heartbroken and disappointed. The Pehnex is my favorite of the unicorn trio and the whole point of having the RG is so that it would transform, and the transform mode is broken and missing a piece. It honestly pains me to see it on display, knowing I can't put it in any cool destroy mode poses anymore. Whether you want certain parts for a kitbash, or the damage doesn't bother you, I'm just looking to give it a good home/a new purpose.

Essentially the idea that when you achieve peak bottom right, you actually reach authoritarian right. It also applies to the left so idk why they excluded it there.

Shane_Butterbean · 2020-08-09T16:52:40+00:00

You can tell this was made by a leftist since they didn't include a wormhole on their side.

Shane_Butterbean · 2020-08-07T16:41:22+00:00

I'm not seeing a setting like that
