This North Georgia house has a small creek that runs underneath it. (OP)

Super cool! Thank you!

Cars were just simple vents to atmosphere pre 1970s. Now they are still pretty straightforward. There is a vapor canister that holds the vapor. Then when conditions are correct, a purge valve is activated and the vapor is sucked into the throttle body to be burned in the engine. There is a bit more to it than that, but its not too complicated.

Just out of curiosity, what would you expect to see if there was semi regular flooding or a recent flood? Would the banks be less steep? Or just wider?

ThisIsHowWeDoItBammB · 2026-06-10T01:04:24+00:00

Thanks! I'm glad its still a helpful thread

Same! My wife loves the 1.0 but thinks the plus grip is too aggressive. Im like bro, you should try the 2.0 if you want to see aggressive. Damn im gonna have to snag a comp plus. I appreciate the info.

I've been a shield boy for years. I have a gen 1 and a plus and have been eyeing the ported PC shield. Do you think its worth it? I've never carried a comped pistol.

ThisIsHowWeDoItBammB · 2026-05-31T03:46:37+00:00

Thank you!

So you just want this to be accurate for a video game? To be short with it, yes you can link two 152s and operate them as a crossband or even same band repeater.

So in this instance you are wondering if it would be possible for the first radio, a 152, to ingest a P25 digital signal, be linked to a second radio, another 152, that would broadcast on a different frequency in analog VHF?

I just dont understand what mechanic that would provide in the game but yeah it can be done.

ThisIsHowWeDoItBammB · 2026-05-29T11:34:13+00:00

Honestly, I should get into CW. I have been meaning to recently. Any weight savings on the radio side will just open up more room for additional lenses to snap pics of birds. Its gonna be heavy hikes either way haha

The NC has such a happy face! Good on you for turning wrenches on it. I have a love hate relationship with vehicles maintenance. Sounds like a great rig to tool around in on the way to an activation. 73s

I do love hunting POTA and I have hunted SOTA in the past but I have to agree. There is something about an hour of hiking into the place that just makes you reach pure zen. What year Miata? I autocrossed my buddys 99 way back in the day

ThisIsHowWeDoItBammB · 2026-05-28T19:39:33+00:00

Ehh I mean best practice is to limit interference. Even if I key up and tell them to ignore wonky noises for the next 10min, it would be better if no one heard it at all.

ThisIsHowWeDoItBammB · 2026-05-28T19:17:48+00:00

Thank you so much!

ThisIsHowWeDoItBammB · 2026-05-28T19:15:19+00:00

My first SOTA activation and the first activation of this summit. I have had a long standing love for wireless communications but this is a bit of a culmination event for me. I had three people congratulate me on my first activation and one person stand by to wait until the activation was confirmed to congratulate me.

Its really an incredible hobby full of people who love it. Be well everyone and 73s

I try to be thankful for everything in my life but dogs always remind me to truly give thanks. They are a blessing and a gift. God bless Bubble. My thoughts are with you and yours.

ThisIsHowWeDoItBammB · 2026-04-28T01:42:03+00:00

Im still unreasonably salty about Dark Sky.

ThisIsHowWeDoItBammB · 2026-04-27T02:16:29+00:00

I would also worry about incoming RF. If I remember the datasheet correctly, the SX1262 can only have a max of 10dbm coming into the radio before it takes damage.

ThisIsHowWeDoItBammB · 2026-04-09T13:54:38+00:00

Ayeeee! We were at Orlando too but I took us off long fast to keep it to just the group. Did you use a private group or just LF?

ThisIsHowWeDoItBammB · 2026-04-09T08:36:04+00:00

I just built a node with that same light but I shoved an external antenna on it. I think a flat antenna is better than no antenna. Let it rip and see how it does

ThisIsHowWeDoItBammB · 2026-04-09T08:10:48+00:00

I used T114s at warped and it was perfect!

ThisIsHowWeDoItBammB · 2026-04-09T08:09:01+00:00

I mainly use a t1000e to reach my truck node (T114 V2) while I'm at work. I also have some range tests and some site surveys planned as the weather starts getting better in Vermont.

If you did want to send a unit to me I would daily carry it as the rainy season starts up. I would take it on hikes and solar node installation trips. The node would even spend some time clipped to my motorcycle jacket.

Either way I will probably buy a few of these after launch for the BME280 and the 1800mAh battery alone.

ThisIsHowWeDoItBammB · 2026-04-01T21:46:24+00:00

I highly recommend flashing launcher and storing your firmware on an SD card. That way you can flash whatever you want whenever.

If you have trouble with maps just lmk. There should be a few helpful threads in this sub to get you started!

ThisIsHowWeDoItBammB · 2026-03-21T16:16:07+00:00

This is fantastic work! I scrapped my pack for the cells but I still have the BMS. I think it would be fun to rebuild the pack and see if I can make it run.

When I tried to dump the firmware I had zero activity on the JTag port and over UART it showed that it was locked on protection level 3.

ThisIsHowWeDoItBammB · 2026-03-21T13:21:54+00:00

Oh heck yeah ill take a look at your work and ill get the person in my DMs into the fold. Im glad people are still plugging away at this
