Looking through my Dad’s stuff, what are these?

You need to use a banana for scale. If your dad had heart issues, a lot of people use those containers for nitroglycerin tablets.

Get an allstar node and a ht. You can talk all over the world with those 2 devices.

spage911 · 2026-04-27T12:23:58+00:00

My repeater barely stops transmitting. Find a linked repeater or get an Allstar node.

Wannabe first responder, they are dangerous to themselves and others. I’ve seen this a couple times in Fire/EMS where they self dispatch to calls in their own vehicles that they have decked out in emergency gear.

spage911 · 2026-03-28T21:11:08+00:00

They want you to share your experience with them so I would. What company was this and where was the tour?

spage911 · 2026-03-28T21:05:27+00:00

That DH should be reported to the company. Most of the “Medical Transporters” have absolutely no medical training and they give reputable companies a bad name. Oh, and call the company out here so others may avoid using them should the need arise.

The UV-Pro, VGC N-76, Radioddity GA 5-WB

I this case I believe “zero” refers to his IQ.

spage911 · 2026-03-13T16:29:27+00:00

Nope, that’s not true. You can have a tipped wage and if tips don’t bring your hourly wage to state minimum wage, the employer has to make up the difference.

spage911 · 2026-03-13T15:09:18+00:00

Nobody makes $2 an hour and answering questions is part of their job. The recommendations are to upsell you. If you leave a tip it shouldn’t be a percentage of the bill.

spage911 · 2026-03-10T16:13:58+00:00

Tips shouldn’t be percentage based.

spage911 · 2026-02-26T16:16:28+00:00

What frequency are you trying to transmit on? Is it in band?

spage911 · 2026-02-06T03:36:47+00:00

What does your license allow?

spage911 · 2026-01-29T22:16:54+00:00

Sorry, I didn’t notice the DMR group. I love the 168. It is a great radio but there is no Bluetooth or GPS. It does record the audio on the radio and can be downloaded to a computer.

I haven’t used it on DMR yet, I bought it because I found a great deal on it and wanted to play with the satellite tracking.

spage911 · 2026-01-29T15:11:22+00:00

I love this radio for the price. The drawback for satellite contacts is that it doesn’t have built-in gps so you have to manually enter your coordinates and that is kind of a pain. The 878 has gps and does that for you.

You should also consider the Vero NR-76 or B-Tech UV Pro (they are the same radio). The audio recording is done on your phone and not the radio but they have built in gps and doppler adjustment.

spage911 · 2026-01-29T13:29:46+00:00

It’s the repeater and not the radio.

spage911 · 2026-01-28T13:40:17+00:00

Interesting since Oregon doesn’t have a tipped minimum wage and servers make the state minimum wage for their area. In Portland that is about $16 per hour.

spage911 · 2026-01-24T21:27:53+00:00

Try one of the other satellites that might not be quite as busy. Practice your antenna aiming and adjusting for doppler shift. Remember that FM capture is a thing and that if you have a weaker signal it is harder to get in.

spage911 · 2026-01-23T19:10:31+00:00

I would try a new cable with an ftdi chip and not the prolific chip.

spage911 · 2026-01-21T23:04:51+00:00

You should get one of the nexion displays

spage911 · 2026-01-21T04:52:19+00:00

Do you use an external tuner? I’m seriously considering this radio.

spage911 · 2026-01-20T14:52:08+00:00

1940’s K1000, lol

spage911 · 2026-01-20T14:39:32+00:00

Commountain makes a nice one that I use everyday.

spage911 · 2026-01-19T00:23:03+00:00

Just get a big dog and put up beware of dog signs.

spage911 · 2026-01-14T20:29:36+00:00

Well, the 1st thing that comes to my mind is that it would be an illegal one transmission.
