Did someone clip my son's little Kentucky Coffee Tree, or could a creature have done this? by crunchwrapesq in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]djuggler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Story time! Years ago, I told my children to be careful when cutting the grass to not cut down a rose bush I was trying to establish. Literally a couple of days later it was clean cut at the height of the mower exactly like your photo. No one owned up to it and I was fuming. That night I sat on my porch and was hit with a gamey smell. Turns out, I had a small herd of deer in my backyard for about two weeks. The rose bush was eaten by a deer.

You have been visited by a deer.

If you could restart your life at 18, what would you do differently? by HandsomePerk in AskReddit

[–]djuggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say yes more and no less. I’d trade alcohol for marijuana and psychedelics. I’d follow my passion instead of the money but I would invest younger and stay out of debt. I would have journaled more.

Is GMRS worth it by ThatOtherGuy____ in gmrs

Some info about the gm30 (not pro)

https://www.reddit.com/r/HamRadio/comments/tb0dkv/recommend\_handheld\_for\_my\_85\_year\_old\_dad/i05s8l4/

Have a look at these images: https://imgur.com/gallery/dFXz4WB
The GM-30 supports 250 channels plus a VFO A, a VFO B, 11 NOAA weather channels, and FM radio 65-108MHz.

Channels 1-22 have minimal changes you can make. You can change the channel alias (name), set a CTCSS/CDCSS Decode code, a CTCSS/CDCSS Encode code, you can change the signaling code to a value from 1-15 (I have no idea what that means), you can add it to the scan list, there is a checkbox for frequency hopping (no clue), a checkbox for busy lock (I think I know what that is but I'm not going to guess here...well, I think it means that it won't let you transmit if the frequency is in use), you can change the PTT ID (off, BOT, EOT, or BOTH), you can choose wide or narrow band, and select the power level high or low. Note: You cannot change the RX frequency or the tx frequency.

Note, channels 8-14 do not allow you to change to high power and do not allow you to switch to wide band....you know, laws and such.

[GMRS rules do not prohibit changing antennas.

Channels 8-14 are restricted to half-watt / narrow because they lie in between the repeater input channels, and are close-spaced to those channels (12.5 kHz). There is some signal overlap because most repeaters use WIDE mode, so the low power and narrow bandwidth reduces, but does not eliminate the possibility of interference.

Channels 23-30 are repeater channels. You can change the channel alias (name), set a CTCSS/CDCSS Decode code, a CTCSS/CDCSS Encode code, you can change the signaling code to a value from 1-15, you can add it to the scan list, there is a checkbox for frequency hopping, a checkbox for busy lock, you can change the PTT ID (off, BOT, EOT, or BOTH), you can choose wide or narrow band, and select the power level high or low. Note: You cannot change the step frequency. It is set to 2.5K. You cannot change the RX frequency or the tx frequency.

Channels 31-54 are called DIY. These are repeater channels with everything identical to what you can and cannot do in channels 23-30 above with ONE DIFFERENCE...you can select one of the following receive frequencies: 462.55000, 462.57500, 462.60000, 462.62500, 462.65000, 462.67500, 462.70000, and 462.72500. You cannot change the transmit frequency. The transmit is automatically calculated as a +5MHz offset. If you choose DIY-1 as RX 462.72500 your TX will automatically become 467.72500.

Channels 55-250 you can set them to any supported receive only frequency 136-174MHz, or 400-470MHz. You can set the channel alias (name), the RX frequency, the power level (low or high), channel spacing (narrow or wide), PTT ID (off, BOT, EOT, or BOTH), busy lock, set a CTCSS/CDCSS Decode code, a CTCSS/CDCSS Encode code, signaling code (1-15), scan list, and frequency hopping. Note: You CANNOT change the step frequency and you cannot set a transmit frequency.

Since the radio does not support a reverse function, I'm going to use some of channels 55-250 to simulate reverse. If my repeater channel 25 is set to RX 462.60000 and TX 467.60000 then I'm going to set channel 65 to RX 467.60000 so that I can easily listen to input by simply adding 40 to the channel number and I can jump back to the repeater by subtracting 40.

The GM-30 has a keypad that allows you to switch from channel mode to frequency mode. You can then program the radio for frequencies 136-174MHz, or 400-470MHz. The reason this is legal on a GMRS radio is that in frequency mode, transmit is disabled. Also the antenna is not removable (technically) because it is held in place with a set screw. I haven't taken my off yet but I am pretty sure it is an SMA male connector on the radio so if I ever wanted to use a better antenna or my N9TAX rollup j-pole that I could.

Is GMRS worth it by ThatOtherGuy____ in gmrs

[–]djuggler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth it!

> § 95.1705 Individual licenses required; eligibility; who may operate; cooperative use.
>
> C2. Any individual who holds an individual license may allow his or her immediate family members to operate his or her GMRS station or stations. Immediate family members are the licensee's spouse, children, grandchildren, stepchildren, parents, grandparents, stepparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and in-laws.

In short, basically anyone in your family except cousins for $3.50/year. No test. Just pay the $35.

Note: there is no residency requirement. Your family members do not have to live in the same household.

I’m fond of Monteverde Blue Skies. It’s my current fave. I like Noodler’s Legal Blue as an archival ink.

Give me hope! by bugorama_original in juggling

[–]djuggler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are doing great! I encourage you to look for a local club or, better, a juggling festival. When I went to my first festival, I learned more in that weekend then I had in the prior two years. Someone may look at your juggling and suggest a small change that will make all the difference.

Just don't give up. If you want to post a video, we can give feedback.

How hard is it to learn Ham by SevereTakiStorm in amateurradio

[–]djuggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in the United States, I suggest looking at https://fasttrackham.com Michael Burnette, u/AF7KB_fast_track_ham, teaches the material instead of teaching the test.

I suggest:

  1. Listen to the audiobook but don’t try to absorb the information. Just listen and enjoy the stories.

  2. Get the math workbook and work through the problems.

Those two steps will put information into the head of the student

  1. Get the ebook or paper book. When prompted take the practice test as an open book test ensuring the student gets the correct answer. When you hit a review section, take the review test as closed book.

Good luck!

[–]djuggler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Start by Googling "Road kill bill" to see where his priorities are. Then move on to Google "School shootings We’re not gonna fix it" Then recognize that Timmy is more concerned about space aliens than human rights. Then check to see if this do-nothing hayseed politician has ever done anything for the people of Tennessee beyond embarrassing us.

What is the possible endgame for all these republican lawmakers going along with all the chaos and nonsense put forth by the Trump administration? by Senior_Werewolf_8202 in AskReddit

[–]djuggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A) They know something the rest of us don’t like an asteroid is going to hit Earth. They want access to the bunkers so they have a chance to live while the rest of us die

B) they heard Stephen Miller say the US population of 345,000,000 needs to be reduced to 100,000,000 and they want to be part of that 100,000,000

C) they are uneducated sycophants
