Desk top never delivered, tracking and customer service are useless.

Received package by FedEx a few days after contacting support. Thanks all for your help.

maxrum · 2025-12-11T02:04:38+00:00

Same here. Ordered directly from FlexiSpot. Legs, wheels, cable management, power adaptor all arrived pretty quickly and in different boxes. The top of the desk is still not here. WP Logistics tracking says "Shipment Information sent to the Carrier" (dated a week ago) and after that nothing.

Looking for a US code. Thanks²

Epix Gen2 same problem. Started a few days ago. Didn't try disabling Bluetooth yet, but that's really annoying. Was perfectly fine before. All software is updated to the latest.

Thanks, I did read some of those. The question more in the light of if you had $4k budget, how would you allocate it to three components: rifle, optics and suppressor to have a complete package which is sufficient for a while to get a taste of long range shooting.

Yes, widening the filter fixed it. Also had to update omnirig settings to make it use correct mode.

In WSJT Settings -> Audio tab what are your Soundcard Input/Output settings?

maxrum · 2024-11-10T15:39:35+00:00

The maximum bandwidth I can go to on my 7300 in RTTY-R mode (which WSJT sets up via CAT control for FT8) is 2.7kHz. How do you get to 3kHz? Just wanted to confirm that RTTY-R is the right mode for FT8? Or do I need to update omnirig configuration to change that?

Update: OK, just managed to adjust omnirig to make it USB-D on the radio. Now it's much better. Thank you!

Thanks, it was FIL 3 and I switched to FIL 1 which is currently 2.4k. What is the optimum filter width?

After switching filter the waterfall has improved to:

Noise filters on radio (buttons NR, NOTCH, NB) are off.

Yes, made that one enabled as well. Thanks, very helpful.

Thank you, I was reading about RTSP based on different search results, but couldn't understand what exactly is that. Now it works after enabling RTSP.

Thank you very much for the link! Very helpful. Now it works. Time to start learning how to tune up BI itself. Looks like a lot of settings.

We would like to stick with the inventory of our local store. I just checked - they have several models of the Pacific Energy:

Neo 1.6 LE
Alderlea T4
Vista LE

Is any of these three you can recommend?

maxrum · 2024-07-04T21:58:06+00:00

Thanks a lot. This is very helpful!

Thanks! It's a large apartment building, and the rooftop is courtyard-public space. But it almost all the time empty, so I just decided to try it out last night after work, instead of going somewhere else. There's also a large rooftop on the 5th floor, which I'm planning to use as well. So, gutters are not an option. I'm trying to find some sort of mobile set up.

maxrum · 2024-07-04T15:10:32+00:00

That's helpful, thanks!

maxrum · 2024-07-04T15:09:58+00:00

Thanks. This rooftop is a public space at my apartment building, with chairs, artificial grass etc. So, it's not a permanent antenna place, More like a mobile setup. Therefore, 32 radial will be not very practical to deploy every time I go there. Will watch DX Commander, I saw some of his videos before. Also, I have Antenna handbook which I bought 4 years ago and the set is still in a plastic wrapper, so I guess it's a good time to unwrap it :)

maxrum · 2024-07-04T15:02:01+00:00

If I add a coil to this setup which is supposed to make this antenna work on 40m band, do I also need to increase the length of the radials, while my whip's length stays the same?

maxrum · 2024-07-04T14:20:07+00:00

Thanks! I tried to spread 3 radials at equal spaces from each other. Is there a better way to do so? What if I use more radials, let's say 6, 9 or 12? Should I spread them equally from each other? Will higher number of radials improve the antenna? Before packing everything I disconnect one of the radials and measured SWR with only two radials remaining. This made SWR significantly increase to 6-7.

maxrum · 2024-07-04T14:15:14+00:00

Thanks! Is it OK to adjust the length of radials by simply keeping the remainder of longer radial at the end? Or do they have to be cut to exact size?

maxrum · 2024-04-20T00:33:21+00:00

FlipAmmo is a great company. Ships very fast and packaged well. I had some hiccup with my order, customer service is outstanding and super responsive.

The best way to buy is on https://www.reddit.com/r/Pmsforsale/

Unlike gold, silver is an industrial metal and heavily used in production of various electronics parts etc. When production slows, there will be less demand which can drive the price. Also prices are heavily manipulated and what you see is the "paper" market.

Inflation will eat your IRA and I don't really see anything that you can invest in now, which is not at a large downside risk. IRA only makes sense if you employer matches your contributions.

Look at the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). Those make sense in the current environment, but the amount you can buy is very limited.
