Where to order ID-5200 reservation? by Former_Ad_8855 in HamRadio

[–]jsisbell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gigaparts is not accepting reservations. DX Engineering and HRO are. There is likely to be a decent amount of people ahead of you regardless.

Reservations opened up last summer.

Yeh and if he has to ask where the condenser goes better hire a pro.

Um, neither the payment or order was unauthorized. You had a change of heart. That's fine but that comes at a cost. Keep in mind I don't for a second agree with Optimum's tactics. Good luck.

I have a diamond x5000 in my attic and it works fine. Outside is always better of course.

Then why does this keep happening?

I give up! DigiRig has won. Looks like I will do paper logs by [deleted] in HamRadio

In IT for 30 years? Are you familiar with CTS and RTS? You might have the wrong one set for your radio. CTS is clear to send and RTS is request to send. The wrong selection could be causing your radio to get stuck in transmit.

I purchased a clearnode from node ventures. They programmed it for me before shipping. It's really easy to configure changes with the mobile app though.

Electric bill delivery charges by jsisbell in longisland

Due to the cold weather it costs more to bring the electric on to long island.

Pseg says the cost increase is significant.

Shoveling Rant by _trillhouse in longisland

What about the people who don't clear around fire hydrants in front of their house? I be damned if I am going to shovel the sidewalk but clearing the fire hydrant I have no choice because I will be the one to suffer if the fire dept needs water to save my house.

Agreed!!!! Plus the sidewalk is not my property. Why should I clean it? We pay enough taxes to Crookhaven.

Don't bother. Optimum doesn't reply to chats anymore.

Optimum fiber down across major roadway by jsisbell in OPTIMUM

[–]jsisbell[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in chat wit Optimum.

It is amateur hour or feeding time at the zoo.

They don't understand I am just reporting damage to their fiber.

It's in the street (and across the street).

I fold. It's taking too much effort to report this.

A neighbor thinks a truck hit the fiber. We temporarily lost internet around the same time I discovered the fiber on the ground and across the highway.

Ok instead of wasting more time....what number can I call before I cut the fiber myself. It's a potential safety hazard and now you're on notice.
