The hams are dead

yeah, a lot of it is here too

lot of ham radio in minneapolis here

I'm a bit disappointed

but now I want a more powerful radio so I can bounce into england

they have a big ham scene

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G9Fi_OSFdw

where are you @Deleted User?

Glasgow, Scotland

oooooh

surprised there's no ham scene there

we have an office in edinburgh

there might be, I'm still getting used to the radio

do you work in ham stuff?

nah that's completely unrelated tidbit

medical software, toshiba

but i was implying im coming to stay over next chance i get to fly over

I have this too

huehuheuheh

but can't get it to work

There should be a website or at least a list of repeater frequencies

Yeah I got all that

the manual, tutorials

I even asked some hams somewhere but got ignored

maybe I'm too noob

I've noticed with the baofeng my building has horrible reception

I have to stand in an exact spot to get maximum power

might need to throw an antenna on the roof

co-ax it in

The low-powered radios like that work by LINE of sight
If there's a mountain or if you're in a valley you might not be able to receive a signal

the guy was selling a power supply too

regret not grabbing it

yeah, i knew a guy that built a point-to-point connection over a lake, because clear line of sight

that was cool

extra port for additional power

but I'm on the first floor of a 4 floor building

might just be SOL until I get a house

and can make an autism shack in a cupboard

I can get my dad to pick it up

maybe the pretty colours just call to me

o apparently it has legal limits on it via EU

tbh anything you get off of ali is going to get you ripped apart in /edc/

Rough

@Deleted User does shit from china make it to scotland quicker?

in the US it always takes 2 weeks minimum, 3-4 avg

2 weeks usually

not bad

@Yun Don't get leather shit from china, they're not really good at it. You get dogshit quality leather unless it costs roughly as much as it would elsewhere

If you insist, look for "crazy horse leather"

It's better to find an artesan leatherworker in some 3rd world country like Chile or Poland

poland = 3rd world? o_O

yeah, that's why they're in the UK now

cleaning cars

lol

Actually semi-3rd world would be better, since you need skill and not being a nog to be able to do quality work - yet you want the labor to be incredibly cheap

definitely not US wallets then like Splurge linked

although those are probably semi-3rd world made and shipped over

my in-laws buy me a wallet every couple years, so i don't really think about it

probably 40$ or so

I didn't link anything

Thoughts on Xiaomi wallet?

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2016-New-original-Xiaomi-Leather-Wallets-for-Business-Men-s-Business-Leather-Wallet/32659738300.html

yes

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-South-Korea-Multifunctional-Magic-Money-Clips-3-Colors-Ultra-thin-Men-Wallet/32573974263.html

I have one of these, it's pretty good functionally - but the "leather" quality and stitching is atrocious

o I googled the herschell roy

>Xiaomi Wallet

wifi enabled?

Comfy you aren't getting it right
I wouldn't recommend it because it's only am/fm and cw

lol

@Deleted User CDMA radio included?

I looked it up and saw it was fucked by EU regulation

Oh ok
eu strikes again

and then a youtube review of some legit autist raving about it and the comments were like "this poor bastard"

do you mean the superstar @Monte

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsbHP2v0wr8

pls don't tell me you mean the realistic

comfy

what are the best settings for using the BM-800 in Windows

like gain/boost

whatever sounds good

test it in audacity

No the super star

o thank fuck

for $20 this mic setup is lit

no matter what you do it'll always sound a bit crackly
