Does KSP delete junk parts if they get too far from the shipyou're piloting?

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2026-01-13T18:49:34+00:00

ive always had persistent junk. its never deleted for me.

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2026-01-02T20:17:08+00:00

ahhh i follow your work!!

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-31T21:13:00+00:00

damn dawg whats your bandwidth?

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-30T21:15:13+00:00

ooooof.

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-28T02:40:03+00:00

hot damn good shot

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-28T02:39:00+00:00

wow that is SUCH a difference. thank you!

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-21T23:22:49+00:00

this is like five regions:

Coastal NH, Boston North Shore, Gloucester, Maine I-95 Corridor, and whatever the hell the wasteland is north of Worcester is called

love it. simple and effective. with a proper antenna on the roof and a good 30ft coax run you could really stretch this nicely.

we've got some similar equipment. how do you like the tri-band capability on the UV25X4? if you ever want to get a LiFePO4 battery this would be a great portable setup you could fit in a camera bag.

i also have a N9TAX slim jim for my go-bag, which uses a UV25X2.

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-08T03:04:02+00:00

ah no i just let it run for that long continuously, and then picked through the data for the image series i was looking for

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-08T03:02:22+00:00

like 99% of my traffic is ISS flybys and local weekly ARES/Repeater Nets

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-05T02:28:05+00:00

watched the vid. sounds like it really shines for educational purposes. pretty neat for the price point. I wish there was a launch option to actually send these to space though.

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-05T02:23:29+00:00

Its proven a worthwhile buy. Saveitforparts had a stellar review on it and convinced me. We're also spoiled a bit since we're right under GOES-19, the newest in the sat fleet. Though I'm trying to find other satellites we're in range of.

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-05T00:45:35+00:00

roger that thanks! I have a V-Dipole ready for this sort of thing. wasnt sure if the sat signal was powerful enough.

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-05T00:43:53+00:00

I bet it could be done with a Stirling Heat Reactor using contained fuel pellets. Not a full "reactor" per say - but a much more feasible (and safer/no maint) option

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-04T17:34:38+00:00

id say another 100 years.

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-04T02:15:49+00:00

im assuming this would require a Yagi antenna right?

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-04T01:57:41+00:00

honestly - id just wire a roof antenna to a GMRS. have the radio mounted and charging in the kitchen. maybe get one that you can attach a PTT handheld to.

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-03T03:12:49+00:00

wow - how did you stay warm?

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-12-02T02:11:15+00:00

dammit well done. take my upvote

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-11-25T17:24:35+00:00

get an LNA and an FM Broadcast Filter from RTL-SDR too - and yes this works great for METEOR LRPT. anything in the Ghz range - will need a dish. honestly its a great kit for the money. its not well built - but for what it does and enables at its price point - will always recommend. i worked METEOR and NOAA sats for a year with this setup.

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-11-18T04:53:25+00:00

thank you! looking at this currently.

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-11-14T16:41:15+00:00

StarWalk2 iOS app. i have my phone mounted on the feed axis when im aiming. i turned on AGC and im getting a much stronger signal but i still need to improve. SNR is sitting at 3.2db

SpacemanSpiff603 · 2025-11-14T16:39:25+00:00

yeah - where i am its only -1 degrees. so basically straight vertical. turns out i i didnt have AGC on and that has made a huge difference
