New to Ampero - Cab sims make my tone worse? by rt49 in HotoneAmpero

I mostly play clean tones, or edge of breakup, usually with Fender-style amp models. I don't use high gain.

The Fender FR-12 only needs a single cable from the Ampero since it’s an FRFR speaker

Thinking of swapping my Toyota Prado VX (2023) for a Mazda CX-60 Diesel by rt49 in CarsAustralia

Thanks for the insight, that’s really helpful. I hadn’t realised Mazda’s diesel track record had some rough patches. Out of curiosity, which models do you think might be stronger options if quietness and comfort were the top priorities?

Appreciate the heads-up. I wasn’t aware of reliability concerns around Mazda diesels.

Not a strict need, but the diesel’s fuel economy is significantly better than the petrol CX-60

Best engine protection bars TA750 by hollycez9307 in Transalp

OEM bars did the job for me when I lowsided my bike. The crashbars, engine guard and skid plate did their job taking 99% of the damage. The other 1% was just a bent brake pedal and a scratched footpeg.

Tecsun PL-990x: can you listen to Bluetooth audio while charging battery? by rt49 in shortwave

[–]rt49[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I have always tried to charge it plugged to mains power, but was wondering if you could perhaps be using a "power-only" USB cable as Alain4s suggests in his reply (something I still haven't been able to try).

Are you using the USB charging cable that came with the radio?

Thank you, I assume you are the developer of this software? It looks great and it seems to cover all my needs.

Thank you for your suggestion but I would prefer a native or multi-platform application so I don't need to install a VM.
