for kids
yeah I could tell when he started arguing
banhammer started twitching
_stern look_
you really disagree with that one? really?
I didn't read the backlog
eh, I feel good about it
don't think we're here for tech support
I started off a little interested and excited about what he had in mind as far as project stuff
even if it was like, using the rpi as a soic flasher or something
think he just wanted it for standard kodi shit
that's the sad tragedy of the pi
that it can do so much more?
yeah but you could say that about everything i guess ha.
I was going to use my pi with my rtl-sdr to do some radio stuff but it takes a lot of time
fell by the wayside
even getting it scanning on my PC consistently was a nightmare
SDR stuff is cool
yeah I'd like to improve the antenna some
saw a gigantic antenna in a charity shop recently for a few pounds but decided against it
nowhere to put it unless I staple it outside
the extra hardware needed to pick up the HF stuff is a bit of a downer
otherwise you don't really need an antenna
the one that ships with most of the RTL-SDRs is fine for vhf/uhf
I struggle to get decent reception in my building for some reason
even with my baofeng
maybe from being in a tall building
no idea
try a cheap ducky swap first
if you have a repeater nearby use that as a reference
yeah the most I can pick up reliably is a childrens hospital and a local taxi service
would like to boost it up
since those are right outside
guessing you've been here https://www.ukrepeater.net/index.html
yeah man got them all written down
I put the ham radio stuff on the backburner to work on my vintage videos
come back to it at some point, baofeng and rtl-sdr are gathering dust
i mean, same; I never bothered to do HF stuff since, you know, the Internet exists. but it'd be cool to try to send signals over the atlantic or something
yeah I'd like to get my license
