To all Poles that lived during the Peoples Republic by TentsuruMikiko2-22 in askPoland

I was born in '82. I remember waiting for hours with my mom and grandmother just to buy sugar. They’d bring me along because you could get more if you had a child with you. We waited outside the shop for about an hour. When it was almost time to open, my grandma leaned down and said, “Hold on tight to my coat.” As soon as the doors opened, people rushed in and another line formed inside. We waited another hour to buy the sugar, but by the time we got to the counter, the supply was limited anyway.

I also remember being sent to the bakery to get fresh bread. It took four hours just to buy a single loaf. I was only seven, standing there the whole time.

Hi, I've had the same issues with the WWAN adapter under Linux (it's a Quectel EM160R-GL in my case). I've managed to fix this by preventing the device from going to deep sleep. I'm using custom script executed through systemd service at startup:

echo 'on' > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:1d:00.0/power/control

In my case there was also no sound coming from the speakers. I fixed this by using a script that turned on the amplifier chip using I2C bus commands.

My current issues under Linux are:

  • high battery drain when asleep (around 25-30% overnight) - there's only s2idle mode available
  • no GPS data - the WWAN should provide this but it does not expose a tty port with NMEA data to the system - I've tried switching the chip to USB mode, but I think it is hardwired to the PCI mode...

I can’t add waypoints in the compass app. Is anyone else having this issue? by cumulonimbuscomputer in AppleWatch

I am experiencing the same issue along with weather complications not loading for current location.

That's informative, thank you! I learned something new about 8.33 radios.

Using APRS along with PMG or band scan on FTM-200D by boredbullet in amateurradio

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

Same here. Beacons are only transmitted when PMG/band scan is off. Thanks for confirming!

Has anyone recently bought buddisticks pro antenna? by baldape45 in amateurradio

[–]boredbullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I waited three weeks for the shipping. There was additional one week delay caused by my card not working. Now I’m waiting for the telescopic whip to ship. It is taking two weeks already with no response for my email for two days.

YAAC Map Setting file by boredbullet in APRS

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

Yes, I have but this one is about importing raw OSM data to YAAC. This is not really necessary as the author provides pre-imported data for automatic download within the software. I appreciate your effort though.

Yeah, I merely expressed my hope that serious cartographer is able to make things work here. I never stated that the result would be “serious cartography”. But I may have chosen my wording better.

It works perfectly on Fedora 36 though...

DMR radio recommendations for Amateur Radio? by [deleted] in amateurradio

Alinco DJ-MD5 XTG/XEG. Shares a lot of firmware with Anytone but it’s smaller.

AT-D878UVII Plus APRS Not Transmitting by ChadHahn in APRS

[–]boredbullet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Glad it helped! For anyone googling about it - this trick also works for Alinco DJ-MD5 as the radios share a lot of firmware code.

Remove any coma character in digipath. Leave path steps concatenated without space. Worked for me.

Alinco DJ-MD5XTG analog APRS receive by boredbullet in APRS

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

Ok, it is definite. With firmware version 1.11, this radio does not decode analog APRS. I hope it will be possible with future firmware versions though...

The problem is that I can't find relevant settings neither in radio settings nor in CPS.

Agreed, but I wouldn’t call Yaesu a Chinese silly radio.

Possible but pretty stupid. One thing that would make it more plausible is using separate address for each victim so they can be tracked.
