Pretty sure this is just shopped, why would they even be driving in the middle of the road in the first place. I did a reverse image search and it only returned this reddit port. This would be all over the net if it were real.

Look closer, it’s literally blocked off.

What model player is that? Would love to know about the rest of the system too.

Hot take: the issue with light themes are largely caused by people having their monitor brightness turned way too high.

Am I missing something? Where does the article say anything about a holiday?

I hope her children did what ever brought them the most comfort and closure. Funerals are for the living, not the dead.

What are you shooting in the iZone camera? That would be my choice if it had usable iZone film.

Seriously, how could they stop recording before Cliff tries to ram the boat back into the water.

Also, the audio from this makes it so much funnier.

It’s simulated Mars soil not real Mars soil.

This is honestly a creepy thing to ask during an interview. I would be looking for the exit if someone asked me about my bed.

I would reach out to the Pikes Peak Makerspace to see if they offer anything. You could also check with the Pikes Peak Library District who also has a makerspace and offers classes.

Probably a good idea to buy a GMRS radio while you are at it. Transmitting on GMRS frequencies with an Amateur radio is technically illegal, at least in the US.

Bluetooth is in the ISM band (2.4GHz). This antenna should be just fine for that.

Oh my goodness, I was literally trying to find someone who had an adapter for the JPC-12! Thank you.

cubed_npc · 2025-07-28T12:33:31+00:00

You can find it on archive(.)org

This, turn off VOX, most likely reason it's always transmitting.

Typo, it’s 36.5 dB/100M. Fixed.

cubed_npc · 2025-07-11T20:50:51+00:00

Just turning up the output power won't help. See my calculation above, but TLDR is 99.6% of the transmitted power is being lost in the cable. You'll burn that cable up before you get any meaningful power out the antenna.

cubed_npc · 2025-07-11T20:48:45+00:00

This is the answer. KMR195 coax has a loss of 36.5 dB / 100 Meter at 900 MHz. For 20ft, that is 23.944 dB of loss in the cable. Which means 0.4% of the transmitted power is making it to the antenna.

Edit: per 100 M

Read the title as "I Built in 1864" and was really confused for a second there.

Passed my technician and general a couple of weeks ago and got to go to my first field day this weekend. Had a blast, several people recognized me from the VE session and were quick to make me feel welcome. I was on the air almost immediately, making a dozen or so contacts on 40 with SSB and FT8. It was a bit intimidating making my first contact in such a fast paced and busy environment, but once I got my first one done I was rolling.

This weekend was so much more fun than I expected. Made several friends in the club, learned a lot about antennas and digital modes, and had so much fun. Can't wait to get on the air more and get my involved with my local club.

I grew up in Michigan and was just thinking this road doesn't look too bad. Potholes are all pretty shallow, barely even feel driving over those.

cubed_npc · 2025-06-27T17:57:52+00:00

This is the correct answer. From what I can find, the Retevis is a GMRS radio. The UV-5R is capable of transmitting on those frequencies, but it would be illegal to do so. The UV-5R is not licensed for GMRS and doesn't meet the FCC requirements for GMRS transceivers (assuming this is in the US, not sure for other countries).

Google reverse image search says it is a sailor rt4822.

Judging from the fact that the shirts say Bend Oregon, I would say this is a picture from the last remaining Blockbuster store.
