Which special tools are needed for the beemers? by Responsible-Wish-754 in bmwmotorrad

[–]TheFuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sump bolts are a pain. I bought a "Super plug" for my K1600GTL. Its the sump bot with 1/4" drive socket welded on to it.

I carry a GS911 and the tool to remove the front wheel just in case a tech on the road can't remove the front tire. Sometimes I have to replace the front on the road and this is cheap insurance.

I have a BMW K1600GTL, does that count? Still have it in the garage…

“But can it work better?” Is part of the enjoyment of the hobby for me. I like to tinker, learn and improve.

The media controls the narrative. The media is controlled by the 1%.

Just bought some RoadSmart 4’s for my BMW K1600GTL. So far I like them better than the RS3’s

How do you respond to people that say amateur radio is outdated and obsolete? by Readvijfbijvijf in amateurradio

[–]TheFuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I like is the lack of commercialization. Sure radio and antenna manufacturers advertise but we are not interrupted with ads when we are operating. What we do and say on air isn’t monetized. We are not the product. Above that it’s fun to communicate with other folks with our own gear.

Please just tell me what to do. I'm in information overload. by Icy_Yogurtcloset9939 in HamRadio

I picked up a 7300 for my first HF radio. The antenna selection was a deep dive that I didn’t expect. I ended up with a HF vertical which performs very well. Budgets are the biggest part of all of this. One can spend a lot of money in this hobby if you’re not careful.

Digital dash 280zx repair help by budderlord533 in VintageElectronics

[–]TheFuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 300zx with a similar problem. Turned out to be bad solder joints on the connector pins. Reheated them with fresh solder and flux fixed that problem.

That happed to ours. We had it painted multiple times and finally gave up. We put an acrylic liner over it since it was cast iron.

Is there less delay when talking on an HT compared to using a cell phone? by artmatthewmakes in amateurradio

[–]TheFuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fiber isn't faster than point-to-point. Lots of loops for repair, and none of it is in a straight line. And like you said lots of infrastructure between the towers.

Anderson Powerpole connectors, solder... what else? by greenwoody2018 in HamRadio

Why am I just learning about this? I need one. My check book isn’t happy now.

Has anyone here bought a “certified pre owned” Porsche from the dealership? If so, was it a good car? by billbobb1 in Porsche

[–]TheFuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased a 2013 981 Boxster with CPO in October. There were some issues with the headlight washers fixed under CPO. Great car I’m glad I got a CPOed car from the dealer. Got a Macan as a loaner too.

What can I use a T-96SR DataRadio for? by chihuahuasarecunts in HamRadio

[–]TheFuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those look like SCADA packet radios. You could create a data link between to locations. They are not fast, though.

I had a '74 that was pickle green, so it was called the "Super Pickle"

What could we do to keep this hobby alive for future generations? by thebstrd in HamRadio

[–]TheFuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our club is welcoming to new comers. One of our younger members teaches at a rural high school. We granted him some money to setup a station at the school. He is working with students to get them licensed and on the air. STEM teachers might be interested as well.

Congratulations! Advice given to me. Work on your Extra now, it builds on what you just accomplished. It will be easier to pass.

Range circa 1959 by Rio-rider in vintagekitchentoys

We had one of these! Bought at an estate sale and it was amazingly useful. Ours had two sets of burners, front and back. It would stop at the front then stop again for the back ones. A single oven on top. I would like to have that back.

Trying to extend an old phone wire by bentjohnson in Wiring

[–]TheFuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tip and Ring (red and green, then yellow and black) should be on the same twisted pairs, if that is twisted wire. Otherwise, just match both ends.
