yeah I'd like to get my license
and learn more about it
I have a yaesu, puxing and baofeng vhf/uhf radios and tbh they're close in performance with stock antennae
the SDR sucks tho, that definitely could use tweaking
I used to have a realistic scanner but sold it recently
far too complicated to program
it was like doing a konami code every time you wanted to change signal
it's pointless if you have a usb sdr
and those things have shitty buttons
OTOH a HF Icom setup is really nice
I dream of finding one at a thrift shop for < $100
ham radio stuff is mega expensive yeah
pension wipers
I think you'll see more soon, the ham radio generation is already pretty old
once they start to die the thrift shops will have more
seems like it's all 70s stuff that's lining the shops now
heh yea, it's nothing but oldies on all the repeaters around me and I live around NYC
yeah all the feedback I got on that hacker radio video were from hams
little callsign at the bottom
this sub is actually pretty okay
needs a freq cut off tho
i worked with a bunch of hams when i first graduated; they're really knowledgable but it feels like talking to some possible future self that never kept updated with technology. like, they were afraid of digital logic
it's late so i like to ramble
I'm listening beb
rabling is good
there's some shit I'd wanna buy like https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mini-DDS-Function-Signal-Source-Generator-Digital-Signal-Generator-Dual-channel-Arbitrary-Waveform-Frequency-Meter200MSa-s/32670105894.html but lol IDK if it's any good; this is cheaper than a demoboard from Analog Devices
oh shit http://www.dalbert.net/?p=322
someone wrote a review wao
is that the same model
?
ugh
who knows
that one is the same as the review model
hams are old but a lot of the new gen are working off rpis
all the pirate stations I see online are running off an rpi system anyway
think it's only a matter of time before the old autists die off and the whole thing moves forward a bit
would be cool to have a /csg/ pirate show
what would be played
