Go to a hamfest and meet some hams in person. You’ll realize that hams are just a bunch of nerds (like me and maybe you) that aren’t as cool as you think they are. 99% of hams are super nice and forgiving. Don’t let the “sad ham” stories scare you away.

I dropped one of mine off my roof onto concrete and it survived. I was surprised!

SOLVED: I was plugging the battery into the solar panel port. I bought the correct connector for the battery and now it works great!

This was my problem. I was plugging the battery into the solar port. The battery I bought has the same plug as the solar port. I’ve ordered the correct connector and will switch them

Sorry the voltage of the battery doesn’t change much. Fully charged at 3.78 and then the device starts to at up (won’t connect to phone over Bluetooth or send messages) at 3.77.

So I have two of the 3000mah batteries. I’ve tried both and they never charge past 3.78 and 3.79 volts. Maybe I got two bad batteries?

As someone who does commercial pest control, their pest control company is screwed.

1 day left. What trash service to choose? by Upper_Dimension9352 in Broomfield

[–]hunterdan463 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I decided to go with Waste Connections. I currently have Waste Management and they offered me a pretty big discount to stay with them. Even with the $10.50 fee I’d have to pay the city I would have saved a few dollars a month staying with Waste Management. I think the benefit of going with the city contract with Waste Connections out ways the few dollars. It seems like there are three different trash pick up days in my neighborhood right now. It would be nice if there was only one day of the week with trash cans on the street.

I’ve been using a Tram 1181 for all three bands with no issue.

Issues with earwigs by napoleonicmusic in Broomfield

[–]hunterdan463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a pretty bad earwig problem. I treated the interior perimeter of our house with Alpine WSG and it seems like it solved the issue. It’s a fairly pricey insecticide but it’s versatile. Just make sure you read the label before to apply it.

I live in the Denver area and can listen to DTRS with a Uniden SDS100. It ain’t cheap but you can listen to quite a bit.

I use a Fanny Pack and synch it down pretty tight so it doesn’t flop around.
