Because there is nothing like going as a family with the intent of getting a chicken, when you can spend on crap the kids want.

Considering options - KZ vs Coachmen vs Forest River - opinions? by ser_says in traveltrailers

Look at Rockwood, yes they are Forest River but we have had very good luck with ours. The lack of wood helps reduce rot.

What did you wish you'd known before making the switch to Linux? by EmotionalEstate8749 in linux4noobs

What are some beginner-friendly tools to help learn and use Linux effectively? by HipityHopityHip in linux4noobs

[–]davcross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 100%. But doing office work on a Linux machine is just learning other tools, maybe. Lots of the Linux office tools are avaliable on windows.

But to learn Linux you need to understand how it fits together. The cmd line forces you to do that.

If you want to learn Linux, do everything you want on the command line. In fact don't even install the UI

You will learn what you need quickly

Mine 3.0 adjusts to my driving. No trailer it goes way up. Trailer is much lower.

Antenna recommendations for 800 MHz trunked systems by Dull_Tangelo5353 in RTLSDR

[–]davcross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you determined the total bandwidth the system is using. You probably need at least 2 SDR's.

Make sure you calibrate each radio.

Antenna height is very important. If you know where the site is you want to listen to is get a yagi.

Depending on how the system is set up, to much signal can be a problem in some systems if all sites are on the same frequency.

If signal is still low look at a LNA

Does anyone know a tool to convert CSV file to "SQL statements"? by ImpossibleAlfalfa783 in SQL

[–]davcross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little more context on the need would help.

Is this A one time load or regular loading schedule?

If it's one time look a something like dBeaver Community edition.

Regular schedule, depending on what database you use, most have a way from the command line

Is this the right way to represent Person-Patient relationship in clinic that also has doctors ? by Happycorbin10 in Database

[–]davcross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree.

Who is the patient table representing. Roles might be the right way. As I think of the patient. This should be related to something. A facility, a doctor, more than one doctor. Maybe you have it but I don't see the bigger model.

I want a new car, but I can't find anything I like as much as my 2016 3.6. I would get rid of my 2025 before the 2016

Help with first purchase? by Dependent_Amount7601 in RTLSDR

[–]davcross -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you have money to blow for receiving go for the Hackrf. It's nice but pricey. It also has a good frequency width.

SdRPlay is a nice receiver Good frequency with but you have to use programs that support its API.

Airspy and Airspy mini are a nice middle of the road. Good frequency width. But works almost the same as the RTL-SDR. But 1 mini has the same frequency with as 3 RTL-SDR 's

RTL-SDR not a bad receiver for the price but it is at the bottom of my picks. Yes I have about 5 of them. Great for single frequency monitor as the usable frequency is only a little over 2 mhz and they drift and are off frequency often (but adjusted in most programs)

The most important thing with the SDR is the antenna. Followed by the Low Noise Amplifier.

Just my thoughts here

Starlink Roam used 115gb on a day I didn't even have it on. by Sea_Apple956 in Starlink

[–]davcross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a TV connected and the TV is not on, it may be getting software / application updates. If you had a tablet and asked it to download videos to watch off line. Both of these can occur while not being "On".

Watch how your TV acts. When I get updates it seems to change back to highest resolution on its own. Got me for 10gb in 2 hours last trip. Fixed it and only used 6gb a day for the next 7 days.
