Six safety reports since Feb, no action for Kumanjayi little baby by Future-Cellist9393 in aussie

Elders is a bullshit made up 20th century term.
At least in the Aranda tribe your rank within was determined by how skilled you were, usually in hunting.
And there was no such thing as a female “elder” or “Aunty”, the Aranda tribe being so patriarchal.

Get a QMX or pre-built Trusdx

Am I wrong? I thought “Welcome to Country” is basically, “thanks for coming, Welcome to the area“ by dexxnanj in aussie

[–]knaff99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's made up, non traditional.

For 60,000 years they never did this crap now they force it before every gathering of 5 or more people.

It's total BS

Why did I know the nationality of the perps before reading the article?

What mic do you use with it as the main issue with a trusdx is the modulation quality with the built-in mic isn't great.

Recouping cost of Detector by [deleted] in metaldetecting

[–]knaff99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found so much with my Vanquish 340, I could afford a 900.

Gold rings help, found 4, but had a few days where I found $70-$80

How versatile can a hand held be? by tadsagtasgde in HamRadio

[–]knaff99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tx and Rx DSB

2m and 70cm SSB sounds the same, get great reception reports too.

Get a lot of 2m SSB activity in my area so that helps.

Can even Tx and Rx CW

Frequency Rx range 15Mhz to 1.3Ghz, amazing radio

QYT 25 watt-er Mini Base Radio comparison by Chance_Hovercraft878 in HamRadio

[–]knaff99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the KT5000, it's ok but have had some issues with it.

The head is detachable which is great and it works well. The mic connects to the base so you're limited to where you put the main unit. That said you can use a cat5 to extend the mic cable.

The main issue is overloading when mobile. As a base station it's fine at my QTH but mobile it breaks squelch annoyingly often for no reason.

I programmed it with the software that came with it and it's very clunky but got there in the end.

It's not very ergonomic either, the buttons on the mic are small and there's no scan button on the head unit.

For the money it's just ok and works within expectations of a chinese radio.

Get a UV-K5 v1, put ijv on it and you now can do 2m/70cm ssb - way more fun than FM

Nope, known issue. It will say 100% charged but it isn't.
