audio clips out of my videos and
upload them to spreaker, and then from

00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:30.199

11
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.560
He had ape on his stream last
hour, so I imagine he's kind of

12
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.959
I imagine, Yeah, they can't
hear you, Frank on purpose, but

13
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:21.359
I imagine you're you're a little bit
tired of you know, regulating, you

14
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:27.439
know, administering and moderating the chat. The I don't know, I don't

15
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.879
know, we'll see, but uh, let's just bring you on, Frank.

16
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.599
What's going on? Man? I'm
the regulator. You're the regulator.

17
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.879
Yeah, that's right, That is
correct. I don't know the rest of

18
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:44.480
that. What's up, man?
Man? My mind is still processing the

19
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.879
knowledge dump we just got from smoking
ape on toroids and balance and choking.

20
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:57.239
I'm literally have to choke choking.
Who's he trying to choke? We're choking

21
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.680
our antenna feedlines? So do you
comicret doesn't come back? Why would you

22
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.599
choke it? Are you pissed at
it? For some reason? You don't

23
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.959
want the common mill current to come
back? And he got a strangle choking

24
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.960
choking that cable, so it the
feedback doesn't come back to you? Right,

25
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.120
yes, correct? But but yeah, AP's really good. He yeah,

26
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.080
yeah, AP's got an eight ape
is full of knowledge. He's he

27
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:22.719
does a really good job with that
stuff. I tuned in. I just

28
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.319
happened to tune in for the for
the part where he said he's talking about

29
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:30.439
Miller Light and I heard his Pappy
van Winkle story a little bit, and

30
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.400
he's so jealous. I was like
yeah, and uh, and he said

31
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.639
something about how he and he said
something about how he leaves all the flavored

32
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.800
beers for the kids, and I'm
like, I guarantee there's more. There's

33
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.520
more kids that drink that piss water
he drinks than anything else because it's cheap,

34
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.240
well less, right now, you
know it's all right, it's it's

35
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.000
ape. You know you got a
little ape. Did you tune in about

36
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.800
the forty five minute mark before you
got ready for your stream? It was

37
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.479
around in there. Yeah, what
were you talking about? I'm gonna have

38
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:01.039
to turn off the lights ready ready
for this. I didn't I didn't see

39
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:06.400
I don't think. Oh no,
I didn't see that on your stream.

40
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.759
No, Michael one of my awesome
patreons. I heard you talking about him,

41
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:15.120
but I didn't give box. And
these are the cigar sample nice said

42
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:21.879
that he sent me. Oh,
I has a chance to win up to

43
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:27.120
five hundred dollars on a scratch off. That sounds like something you should scratch

44
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:32.719
off the I need to check the
the message that was one of Michael's friends.

45
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.800
Don Thank you for the super chat, buddy, thanks for being here

46
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:43.680

47
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:50.919
fans and community is great, not
just in um Cigars but just overall overall.

48
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.240
Absolutely Cigars always appreciate it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and those

49
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.719
who are those who are talking about
six meters in the chat. Yeah,

50
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:01.280
six meters was really hot today.
Chuck got in there. We were we

51
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.319
were talking in Discord, and Chuck
got in there and said he was doing

52
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:08.919
some sideband on six meters. You
said the hell on Discord today, I

53
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.199
saw you. Yeah, yeah,
well I was. I made probably fifteen

54
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.919
or twenty contact, maybe twenty five
contacts on ft eight six meters throughout the

55
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.360
day I was working it earlier today, I looked at it and I'm like,

56
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.759
oh, it's it's up and running. So I um so I got

57
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.240
on there and I made I don't
know, five eight nine contacts something like

58
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.879
that, and then it kind of
died. It kind of died and around

59
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.160
maybe two or three this afternoon something
now, probably like one or two this

60
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.519
afternoon kind of died. And then
I started to go. And then I

61
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:38.680
started getting HAM alerts that Josh was
on six meters, and I got a

62
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.319
h I actually got a HAM alert
that Smoke and Ape was on twenty meter

63
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:46.319
ft eight. So I'm not going
to tell you what call SOIGND I saw,

64
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.639
but I'm like, oh, that's
Ape. So I tried to get

65
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:51.600
on there and work him. Sometimes. I was like, hey, dude,

66
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:55.879
I got your call, signed got
your call SI, but but no,

67
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.240
but it then it but then six
meters opened back up again around three

68
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.079
or four some we're in there because
I was getting handlers that Josh was on

69
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.920
there and I think I got one
from NYO and a couple of other people.

70
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.199
I was. I was like,
okay, did six meters come back

71
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.199
or is it kind of floating around
the nation something like that, And I

72
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.000
brought it back up again. It
was it was lit up again. So

73
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:15.680
it kind of died for a couple
hours this afternoon, then it came back,

74
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.240
which is magic band. That's why
they called it the magic band.

75
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:23.560
Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. But since since we're kind of still

76
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.920
talking off the cuff here, yeah, I am going ahead and promote one

calendars for two or three hours of Ham

114
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.399
Radio funness on the live stream that
Friday night. If it is not raining,

115
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.600
I think I would be smoking a
cigar and I'll sit out the outside

116
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:15.439
studio and do it all outside.
It's good idea. I need to Um.

117
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.920
Yeah, I don't know, but
I will not be able to do

118
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.199
that. I could just smoke in
the shack. I've smoked in the shack

119
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.600
a bunch, but never on the
live stream, so I haven't smoked in

120
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.800
the shack and a lot. I
originally built the shack to be a cigar

121
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.000
room, yes, but when I
when I did the build out of the

122
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.759
interior and the insulation and the sheet
rock and everything, I did it to

123
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:35.159
be a cigar room. And I've
smoked in it for a while. I'm

124
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.279
a big fan up there, and
everything's kind of loud, but but I

125
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.639
haven't really. I've smoken it in
a couple of times since i've had radios

126
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:43.759
in it, but not very often, not very often. But it's all

127
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.840
good, all right. Tonight we
were talking about the s bit X,

128
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.720
and those of you who don't know, I still got that going. That's

129
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:58.840
good. UM. This is a
radio that I picked this up at him

130
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.320
vention and four days in May,
more accurately, four days in May.

131
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.799
It is um It's an SDR transceiver. This is a forty wat version.

132
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.919
It's what they're calling V two or
version two, and it's made by a

133
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.519
company called HF Signals dot Com.
And that's um, that's this link I'm

134
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.600
sharing, or this this page I'm
sharing right now, so you can follow

135
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.799
that link there you can breed about
the the sped X two. They it

136
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.279
comes in three different versions. You
can buy it. You can buy it

137
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:33.519
fully assembled, you can buy it
without a raspberry pie it uses a Raspberry

138
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.320
Pie four, or you can buy
it as kind of like a kit.

139
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.279
And it doesn't come in this really
nifty case. And and Shara, the

140
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.679
guy who designs it, he's like, well, you can put your own

141
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:46.000
put it in your own case.
And I'm like that doesn't sound like fun

142
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.279
at all to try to get a
case that might fit it, and something

143
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.720
like that. So I bought the
one without the raspberry pie at at him

144
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.759
vention or four days in May,
because I already already have a few Raspberry

145
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.279
Pie fours just laying around. Um. By the way, the Raspberry Pie

146
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.600
four is going for a lot of
money these days, and I've offered several

147
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.840
times on the channel. Um,
anybody who wants to trade me a brand

148
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.720
new IC seventy six ten for a
couple of raspberry pie form certainly willing to

149
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:13.559
do that. M So you guys
just let me know, don't don't try

150
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:18.240
to lowball me. I know out
I've got so that's how they But um,

151
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.879
but yeah, so the the spit
X uses raspberry Pie four and it

152
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.399
does all the things. In fact, it says right here, where did

153
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:33.200
I go? I think I missed
that. Let's see, if I go,

154
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:39.039
I've read something that I wanted to
reread online or on the air rather

155
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:45.480
on the brief specification. Okay,
so the frequency is five hundred killer hurts

156
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.600
to thirty mega hurts, and it
transmits on all the bands forty watts on

157
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.279
eighty to twenty thirty wats on the
higher bands. Um, let's see two

158
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:58.639
VFOs. Band stacking is four frequencies
modes on each band. Modes are upper

159
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.279
and lower sideband CWCW reverse. I'm
gonna have to get somebody explained to me

160
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:09.799
what CDW reverse is. One of
these days, no CW reverse, So

161
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.639
I'm not asking right now. It's
not the topic of tonight's but I noticed

162
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.200
it's on It's on my FTDX tent. I was I dropped down to c

163
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:22.559
w N a yo is working CW
poda that at that Plaque event weekend a

164
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:24.600
couple of weeks ago. So I
dropped down the frequency he was on and

165
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.320
I could barely hear him, and
I'm like, I should have brought my

166
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.679
CWQ to to send CW back to
him and just make him laugh. So

167
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.000
but I did. A CWN CW
R CW reverse is a thing, and

168
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.639
I don't know what it's used for, so we'll talk about that later though.

169
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.679
Riddy forty five, PSK thirty one
and FT eight with on display decoding

170
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:48.639
and sending two tone test signal for
immodulation testing and PEP measurements. Built in

171
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.600
n one mm logger. Built in
logger within one mm format, MACROS auto

172
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:58.240
incremental exchange, number of contesting record
your QSOs and wave format files so it'll

173
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:05.399
do voice recording fl DIGGI, UM, let's see up to forty watts connects

174
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.919
to RBN and DXL. It has
a spotter on it. It says down

175
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.879
here, it says, uh,
it had a spot it has. It

176
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:13.679
comes with a spotter, so you
can set up a spotter to do a

177
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.879
auto spotting on it, which is
kind of fun. So it's a neat

178
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.159
little radio. Um. I bought
the very first version, which is right

179
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:26.840
here. This is let me switch
my camera back again, get a little

180
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.559
bit better view. Here. This
is the very first version, which is

181
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.000
much larger. This is the developer
version, what they call and it had

182
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.720
yeah, yeah, it does.
It looks like an old TV. It

183
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:45.360
had some issues with the finals early
early on the early early versions. And

184
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.639
I have a brand new set of
finals right here that I never have installed.

185
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.440
And I think I'm gonna. I
think I'm gonna. My plan was

186
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.159
to always get back into this and
rebuild it. And you guys know how

187
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.279
I am about building stuff unless it's
an unless it's a vehicle, an engine

188
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.320
or something. I don't do much
building. So I think I'm gonna sell

189
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.919
this one because I've got the new
V two So if anyone's interested in purchasing

190
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:11.120
this for a reasonable price, let
me know if you are interested in It

191
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.600
has a pie four already in it
also, So that's the original version and

192
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:18.360
then the new version, the V
two version is right here, and I've

193
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:24.960
taken it apart because the um,
the pie goes right here like this turns

194
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:30.960
upside the riser board on the pie
right here. Sits right there. Uh

195
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.360
did you have to build that or
no? This was it? This?

196
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:35.759
It all came like that. I
Um, it came with this said.

197
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.039
This is the this is the top
of it. Okay, so if I

198
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.320
put it together like this, it's
this thin. See the old one was

199
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.279
way larger. So this is this
is the built in speaker. It's this.

200
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:50.559
Then it's got that really nice heat
shrink on the back of it.

201
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.879
Heat shrink heat sync on the back
of it is what I'm trying to say.

202
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.480
Okay, So it's it's smaller,
it's more compact, it's uh got

203
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:03.279
more stuff finite and um got more
ability with it, I should say.

204
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.120
So I thought it'd be fun,
a fun thing to do to Uh.

205
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.480
I mean, it's not building a
kit. It's not really that way.

206
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:15.639
I mean it's it all comes pretty
assembled always. All I gotta do is

207
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:18.279
put a raspberry pie in into it. So we're gonna put the pie in

208
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.639
tonight and I'm gonna boot it up
and it comes with where's my stuff here?

209
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:28.360
It comes well, it comes with
this microphone right here, which is

210
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:33.080
the three point five millimeter jack on
the microphone, and it comes with it

211
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.440
comes with this cable with this uh
what are these called EC four or MC

212
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:43.320
four connect and not MC four that's
the that's a power cable H for I.

213
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.799
I seem to like as RC battery
cable R. Yeah, it's some

214
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.320
kind of RCRCUM RC remote Control Car
World something like that. But I'm seeing

215
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.080
more and more stuff like that.
The cool thing about it is, and

216
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:58.159
I didn't realize this until a couple
of hours ago, this is my cable

217
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:03.559
for my new FX FOURCR from BG
two fx dot com, which is the

218
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.639
video that will premiere on this channel
tomorrow afternoon to three thirty pm Texas time.

219
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:11.080
So my new yeah, I don't
have it here with me, it's

220
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:16.840
inside. But my new uh FX
FOURCR uses this same type of cable,

221
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.840
and the old version and the new
version of the x FX four c use

222
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:22.320
the same type of cable, and
now this one used this, So it

223
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:28.399
comes with this cable this it's this
connector on one end and bare wire on

224
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:33.240
the other end. Secret power poles
unit or was X one sixty I think

225
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.799
that sounds XT sixty. XT sixty
down says, yeah, XT sixty,

226
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:39.399
that's right. There's an XT ninety. That's a little bit larger. I

227
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:41.039
think there's an XT like thirty or
forty or something that's a little bit smaller,

228
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:46.000
but XT sixty that's the one that
that is. So there's different sizes

229
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.559
whatnot, but that XT sixty one
is getting a little bit more popular in

230
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.799
the ham radio world. I've seen
three or four different radios use it,

231
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:54.879
so that's pretty cool. That is
universe. It didn't have some proprietary plug

232
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.840
that you've never seen before, kind
of neat my UM A couple of my

233
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:03.840
power station um Eco flow power stations
have come with the have this type of

234
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:08.720
connector for the input of the solar
panel. So I've got several UM cables

235
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:14.960
with this ext XT sixty connector on
it that goes to either MC four from

236
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.840
UM solar panels or maybe power poles
for solar panels. So so getting a

237
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:22.279
little bit more popular than the hand
radio world, which is kind of fun.

238
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.279
And then oh, I'm sorry,
And the side of this bag here

239
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:29.919
which you'll you'll see here more in
the moment. It's comes with a with

240
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.440
a three point five millimeter jack for
to put on something maybe a headphones or

241
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:41.000
something. But the most important part
it comes with this preimaged microSD card right

242
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.200
there. Oh yeah, so all
I gotta do is install the pie,

243
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:48.799
put this in the pie and boot
it up and supposedly it'll come right up.

244
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.240
And then, um, somebody in
the chat earlier was saying that I

245
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:53.879
should do an update, which I
was already planning to do anyway, because

246
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:57.480
that's the first thing you always want
to do. And it's got but it's

247
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:03.080
got this pretty cool manual with it
that is very easy to follow. I

248
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:06.400
read through the manual earlier today.
Um, it's pretty easy to follow.

249
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:08.119
It tells you basic operation, how
to power it up, you know that

250
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:12.440
kind of nonsense like that, like
some some people they need that. But

251
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:18.839
uh, you know how to operate
a band stacked VFOs, the receiver internet

252
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.839
tuning, the writ right there,
bfo A and b split operating right here.

253
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.480
So and then in the very back
here it says, um, like

254
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:32.599
the last three or four pages says
installing the Raspberry Pie. So if you

255
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:34.960
get a version without the Raspberry Pie, the manual tells you the steps to

256
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:37.839
install a Raspberry Pie. And the
quick and short of it is you just

257
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.000
take a pie, put your micros
D card in it that comes with the

258
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.480
kit plug, it in and then
box the thing back up, so it

259
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.119
just it just uses the riser board
right there. So that's what we're gonna

260
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:55.079
do tonight. Um that is um
too easy, too easy? Too easy.

261
00:17:55.160 --> 00:18:00.240
Yeah, So you install this d
card h in the rise of board

262
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:06.480
and this is essentially the pie is
the hat in this situation because you're connecting

263
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:10.720
most to a larger to this huge
board right yeah. Yeah, yeah,

264
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.960
this massive board right here has the
pie connection on it and pull it in

265
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.799
yeah yeah. Is this a kit
or a pull and play here? It's

266
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.640
well, you know, it comes
fully so so one option is you can

267
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.759
buy it fully assembled. Yeah,
and he has and this is this this

268
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:29.680
as it this sits right here is
three hundred and ninety nine dollars on his

269
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.640
website. He had it for three
eighty at four days in May, so

270
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:37.000
I saved twenty bucks. The the
version that comes with the pie was one

271
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:40.359
hundred dollars more. Now in today's
in today's world, a raspberry pie four

272
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:42.400
for one hundred dollars is a good
price. I mean they're fifty five sixty

273
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:47.200
dollars boards on a normal day.
But if you go on Amazon, you

274
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:48.279
want to buy one today? Ill
on Amazon, they're like one hundred and

275
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.880
eighty bucks. So one hundred bucks
for Raspberry Pie four is a little bit

276
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.200
high. If you want to stock
Microcenter and just camp outside and wait for

277
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.680
their shipments every week, you can
find a brand of Raspberry Pie four when

278
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:02.039
they come in. They get like
four in a week or something like that,

279
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:04.200
and you can get one for fifty
five or sixty bucks something like that.

280
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.319
But I mean, who has time
for all that? So so one

281
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:12.880
hundred bucks one hundred dollars more to
buy the fully assembled tested you just plugged

282
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:17.319
in booted up kit, you know, because you know they do testing on

283
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:18.640
it now this one, this one. The paperwork that I got with this

284
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.640
one said they tested this one as
well. But yeah, so I could

285
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.279
have spent four eighty on a kit
with that was ready to go, plug

286
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.079
and play, just plug it in
and go. I spent three eighty on

287
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.839
this at four days in May,
and it didn't include the pie. But

288
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.160
if you look on their website,
it's three ninety nine for this one,

289
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:37.839
and I assume it's four y ninety
nine for the for the fully assembled one.

290
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.160
I didn't look at the fully assembled
one on their website, but that's

291
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.319
they were. They were one hundred
dollars difference at four days in May and

292
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:48.680
at him benched this year. So
let's see get my screwdriver out here.

293
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:57.240
But yeah, so uh so people
that if there's any questions or anything or

294
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.960
comments or whatever in the chair,
you know, we can, yeah,

295
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.400
go ahead and go through those.
When when Jason's doing this and working,

296
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:10.319
I'll be watching the chat and looking
for eighty questions. I'm gonna see if

297
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:18.319
anyone answered the inverse cw ah CW
reverse. So if you know what cwse

298
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:25.079
is and can easily say it in
a sentence that I can read, then

299
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:33.319
go for it. Yeah, scrolling
up, So what screws are you taking

300
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:37.960
off here? So there's these to
mount the pie secure it to the board?

301
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:42.680
Correct, Yeah, So there's four
riser posts on the board where you

302
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:48.839
where you mount the four holes in
the raspberry pie that down the corners there

303
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.359
do do so it comes with the
screws on the riser post. So I'm

304
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.720
taking those out and then I'll actually
turn this video froze. Oh yeah,

305
00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:59.160
you're right, sometimes it does that. I need to I need a new

306
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:06.319
capture card, I think. So
let's go here, let's go there there

307
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:10.759
we go. Soon says, that's
a belly button screw driver. Tell me,

308
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:14.240
yeah, tell me if he does
that again. You're just focusing on

309
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:18.400
your hands. But that's fine,
that's fine. Tell me tell me if

310
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:22.079
it does that again. Um,
it doesn't generally do that when I go

311
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:25.720
live, but I'm testing it does. So what I'm gonna do is,

312
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:29.079
I'm gonna actually put the raspberry pie
what I would consider to be upside down

313
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.279
because the rat because the pie the
riserboard on the pie here, you're you're

314
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.880
normally correct, you're ye, yeah, and then the and then the screen

315
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:40.519
will go here, so it'll be
mounted upside down on a normal uh,

316
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.319
on a normal day when it's here. And then of course this is the

317
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:48.200
outlets for the pilets on the pie
itself. So Ed said, I wonder

318
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:52.319
if Charlie would know about reverse c
W. Don says, reverse c W

319
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:56.079
mode is the c dovis you know, which a reverse side of the CW

320
00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:03.079
carrier point like a lower upper side
MS. So they're taking advantage of the

321
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:11.400
lower and up bird CW. Okay, Robert rittenhouse Don says, we all

322
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:17.400
googled the same thing. That sounds
about right, Yeah, Robert rittenhouse CWR

323
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:19.960
mode of the reverse to the CLB
signal with the reverse side of the CW

324
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:26.480
carrier point the like a lord and
upper sideband MOS use when interference signals are

325
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:33.960
near a desired signal and you want
to change the interference tone. Makes sense?

326
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:38.160
Okay, all right, So now, so I got the SD card

327
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:44.519
put in when gently dropped this thing
down in there, Hold on, I

328
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:53.960
don't it's not in there right there. We go, okay, very very

329
00:22:55.039 --> 00:23:00.279
nice in there, and now we
go there for the screws. Yeah,

330
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:03.279
this is this is not much of
a build. This is not a true

331
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:07.319
kit build like when we build a
couple of last antennas. And so Bill

332
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.880
Ham Radio Tectonics, those of you
who were on my email is today I

333
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:15.480
shared Bill's video where he didn't do
a build video of the of the new

334
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:19.359
QMX, but he did a menus. He went through the menus he built

335
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:23.559
the new QMX kit that he got
from four days in May, and then

336
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:27.000
he um did a video like a
little three minute video about here here's what

337
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:30.119
the menus looked like. And I
shared that video on my email today.

338
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.119
So that was kind of good.
I was, like, I replied to

339
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:34.200
him, and I said, hey, how was the building. He's like,

340
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:37.640
it was actually kind of challenging.
So I'm like, okay, well,

341
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:44.039
so this is like he assembled in
America or some assembly acquired just right

342
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:48.680
this screw it there and it's assembled. I did not get the riser in

343
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:55.480
correctly. So now you're talking about
the the forty eight or forty I forgot

344
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:59.119
how many pins that is, right, or you're talking about the standoffs.

345
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.880
So there's a there's a forty forty
six forty a pin whatever it is on

346
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:08.240
the Raspberry Pie that's plugging into the
riser on the main board here, and

347
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.759
I got to make sure I get
it squarely in there, which I just

348
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.160
did. It wouldn't square I got
there's two pins, and I got it

349
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.279
one pin off just a second ago. So now I'm not I'm not pressing

350
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:19.799
it down or forcing it in or
anything, so it's fine. I just

351
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:23.519
kind of gently lifted it out and
put it. And now now the screws,

352
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:27.759
the screw holes, and the riser
posts are lined up together, so

353
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:32.880
we're thickly um Jay Baker. According
to the Pale Foundation, the sort is

354
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:36.640
that the puss should be ending soon. Ahage sentment of eight. I hope,

355
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:41.119
so a hundred thousand a month should
be starting later this buff with plans

356
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:45.720
to ramp up to a million units
a year. That's excellent. That is

357
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.319
excellent. That is excellent those I
know a lot of people would be happy

358
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.920
about that. I've been drinking some
Mitchell for some reason, I can read

359
00:24:52.680 --> 00:25:00.160
after a good nott a finger and
a half. U don't know why.

360
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:08.240
Yeah, um, there was another
um discord combat Kilo oscar for uniform X

361
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:12.960
ray. Charlie says Jason, At
what point do we reach critical saturation of

362
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:19.759
pies for amateur radio projects? That's
a good question. Well, it's it's

363
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:26.960
the pie is a great and was
a cheap project board that doesn't require a

364
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.319
lot of power that we could take
to the field and just pick up.

365
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:34.920
And it's a common starting point for
a lot of projects. So if you

366
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:40.599
need simple, easy processing power and
the majority of people write this stuff in

367
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:48.039
Python and pythons garbage, Yeah,
it's easy to do that, and I

368
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:53.400
agree and understand why it's commonly used
in a lot of amateur radio projects.

369
00:25:55.119 --> 00:26:00.920
Could we get away with something simpler
and cheaper? Yes? About at that

370
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:06.720
point, starting to look at custom
building your own PCB boards, which a

371
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:10.599
lot of us don't want to do. They just want to hook up with

372
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:15.000
some hardware and get some pinouts and
run them to the thing and run that

373
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:21.920
to a different pin in and and
the pies are very very awesome project board

374
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.240
to just pick up and do that
with. We we with the sortage got

375
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:30.920
hit with every other industry that was
lying on pies and pie like projects.

376
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:38.559
Oh yeah, yeah, destroyed the
market and availability radio doesn't use much as

377
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:42.839
many as some others industries do.
Okay, So I read through the instructions

378
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:47.880
before we started, right down,
right down, I'm agreeing with my dyslexia.

379
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:52.799
It gets better. I read the
read through the instructions where I started

380
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:53.839
this, and I forgot. I'm
start to connect this cable. So there's

381
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:59.400
an extra cable, oh on the
bottom of this thing and the blue side

382
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:03.680
of it here, So that's the
ribbon cable full day video. Right.

383
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:06.599
What was the sticky thing that you
pulled off? Is it was? It

384
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:08.519
was taped? It was, Yeah, it was taped down here so it

385
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:11.480
wouldn't all flopping around in the box. That's all it was. So it's

386
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:15.160
just a piece of tape and ribbon
cable needs to go in light Solely,

387
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:22.119
you're wrong, completely wrong done.
Um, you are half right with C

388
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.920
plus plus. Um is not is
a terrible language. At least we agree

389
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:30.480
on the C part solely. On
the other hand, likes his Python and

390
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:36.799
that's why he's wrong. Um,
Larry h C plus plus and C is

391
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:42.519
just C plus plus that could be
caused by C plus. I lost it.

392
00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:48.440
Yeah, Um, all right,
let's get get away from the the

393
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:56.200
the programming languages. Uh, Tomato
fight Ham Ham Ham Radio Court Ham Court.

394
00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:59.480
No, No, we're just having
fun. But I know, I

395
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:06.640
know. No Python is popular in
Linux programming, well, well PE programming,

396
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:11.119
I should say no, No,
Python is. It's Kurt. The

397
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:15.119
name comes from Monty Python and it's
been around before the even them high.

398
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:22.319
And it's great for, um,
doing quick and dirty things repetitively on servers

399
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:26.039
and form it managers, setting up
computers and things. And they're great for

400
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:32.640
scripting. But when you use it
for an actual running program that's doing things

401
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:37.000
over and over and over again,
not just a one time thing, that's

402
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:40.640
where it breaks down. In my
book, Um, it's kind of good

403
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:44.480
for a first learning language, but
don't rely on too heavily because you're losing

404
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:48.599
some of the you don't get a
lot of the object oriented stuff. The

405
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:52.960
syntax stuff with it is syntax is
funky. I can keep going on,

406
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:56.599
but I'm a programmer. But we're
talking about him radio. So how's it

407
00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:59.000
going, Jason? We're talking about
him radio? All right? So I

408
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:03.559
got the I got the uh little
of a ribbon cable connected, got the

409
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:07.680
riser board seated back. Is that
ribbon cable bent a little bit? Or

410
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:12.000
is that off? The I forgot
how that hooks into the pie. It

411
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:15.759
just it just it's it's kind of
like a port in the back where you

412
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:21.960
pull up this little connector thing and
just gently uh inserted in there and then

413
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.680
uh clamp it down so it's not
a big it's not a big deal.

414
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:29.799
And then um, after you did
that is for simple screws. After you

415
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:37.440
see the correct the forty eight pin
um jumper and outpins things. Yeah,

416
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:41.119
the yeah, the pin out or
the riser pin out, whatever it's called.

417
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:47.160
It's a riser on this board.
It's it's just called a I don't

418
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:49.559
know what it's called. Connect.
I was about to get booted out of

419
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:59.640
discord A kilo oscar for uniform x
ray Chango saying Java rules you I do

420
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:03.599
have of admin rights here? Somebody. I was about to go to time

421
00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:10.000
out. Somebody's messing with you.
Oh even we're doing Android apps at work

422
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:15.920
and I'm just looking at Android syntax. I'm like blow blow, yeah,

423
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.640
and I can go into another ant, but I am going to off my

424
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:25.119
soapbox. We don't care. Um, All right, here we go,

425
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:33.640
So let's talk about the project here. Yeah. Um, still working on

426
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.240
screws. Yep. I got them
all in there. I just want to

427
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:40.200
make sure they're seated in there correctly. Okay, can you give us a

428
00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:44.599
good focus? So can we see
what's going on here? Let me see

429
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:48.960
if I can change that. Because
when you're working with your hands. Oh

430
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.279
that's that's that's good there, all
right? Okay, so yeah, I

431
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.720
know I know the eyes. So
what's this? Briefly point at um with

432
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:02.039
your screwdriver what you did here to
high So I I I mounted the pie

433
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:04.720
right here after putting the ribbon cable
on. Okay, that's the s the

434
00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:07.119
microst card which you could put that
in last if you want to do.

435
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:12.039
It's right there on the back.
It's just gently snugly, not gorilla hands,

436
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:15.079
but you know, snugly. Get
these screws down, and then the

437
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.119
ports are out the back here,
and then when I took the cover off,

438
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:23.400
originally there were three. There's another
ribbon cable here which goes right there,

439
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:27.680
and there were two others. That's
next to the pie, not on

440
00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:32.039
the pie, that's correct. Yeah, it's next to the pie right there,

441
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:36.720
co hosting, okay, And then
there's two No, there's three other

442
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:41.319
ones. There's three other ports for
various items. Um, I think sound

443
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:44.960
is one of them. I think
I don't know what all they are.

444
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:45.640
It says in the manual what they
are. I don't. I just don't

445
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:52.519
remember. And no, but but
no, but there's one here, one

446
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.160
here, and one here, and
then the ports on the board just kind

447
00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:57.880
of match it. It's just kind
of I just took them off like two

448
00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:01.039
hours ago, so I just kind
of remember. But just pay attention when

449
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:04.480
you when you take them apart,
and you should be able to be should

450
00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:07.720
be okay, it's not that big
video. And one of the two of

451
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:09.119
them are two pins and one of
them is three pins. So it's obvious

452
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:13.160
which one the three pen goes to
because it goes through the three pen port

453
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:16.920
on the board. So that's that
one right there, and then that one

454
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:27.039
right there. Cool. Cool,
that's lost focus again. Okay, let's

455
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:32.480
see. Yeah, my focus does
that when it's uh TC fits. Thank

456
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:37.839
you for the super chat dollars,
Happy Sunday, He says that deserves a

457
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.440
drink right there. Yep, yep. He swung by and dropped me some

458
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:45.319
money too on my stream. You're
amazing. Yeah, yeah, thank you

459
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:51.279
for being out there. TC fits
all right, um yeah, okay,

460
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:53.759
So that's what that looks like.
There. It's got these feet on it

461
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:57.480
here and here and two on this
end. And I took the feet off

462
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:00.599
not knowing exactly which screws I needed
to take out. It doesn't tell you

463
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:04.000
how to disassemble it in the manual
M but once you figure it out,

464
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:06.920
it's it's actually pretty darn simple.
So and I'll show you. I'll show

465
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:08.480
you the screws that you need to
disassembl it and reassemble it here in just

466
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:13.720
a second. So I've got all
the ports back in, put it down

467
00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:27.400
like this. Uh nope, oh, let's see, get it on there

468
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:31.559
squarely. Here we go. Just
dude, I love that it's awesome.

469
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:37.400
Yeah. Yeah, So there's so
there's two screws here, and there's two

470
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:40.240
screws on the bottom here and here
I put these two back in. There's

471
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:44.160
two screws here and two screws here, and you pretty much have to take

472
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:49.079
this side out because this side is
where your BNC is. So you can't

473
00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:52.319
take just the front off and pull
it out because the BNC is connected.

474
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.440
Um, well, you can take
the front off, but not the back.

475
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:59.559
So it's easier to take all four
screws out and lift this piece out

476
00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:01.720
because this whole piece, this whole
end piece right here comes off. So

477
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:05.079
I found it easier to do that, but you know, whatever you want

478
00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:07.559
to do, and the same trip
thing is true for this side. This

479
00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:10.639
is the power button. Obviously,
you can take two screws, two screws

480
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:14.960
here out and lift this whole piece
out as well, so it comes completely

481
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:19.599
apart. So you notice the other
side the other connectors will one time where

482
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:22.559
well the B and C and the
piepoorts. Oh yeah, so there's a

483
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:28.159
pieboard right there, B and C
for the for the ntent obviously, and

484
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:30.480
that's the that's the ports front on
the Raspberry Pie four. Okay, cool,

485
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:34.719
that's pretty cool. That's that's pretty
easy. Yeah, and look at

486
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:37.320
that heat sink. I'm back,
I know it. Yeah, well it's

487
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:40.639
forty watts, which is not QRP. So a lot of a lot of

488
00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:43.920
times these radios are cure. Hey, you know what you can do with

489
00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:46.760
a footy radio, turn it down
to five watts and you get cuts.

490
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:52.519
That's right, same thing you can
do with radio. But yes, that's

491
00:34:52.800 --> 00:35:05.039
that's absolutely true. So okay,
turning that down. I want to get

492
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:07.679
those in their snug but not too
too tight. Um. A couple of

493
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:13.800
people are worrying, think that you
might have the ribbon cable backwards, but

494
00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:19.119
I don't. According to this,
here's what we uh, here's what we

495
00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:22.760
see right here. So it says
insert the SD card and it has a

496
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:25.920
picture of the ribbon cable with the
blue pointed this way, which is how

497
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:29.480
I put it down. So yeah, if I boot it up and it

498
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:31.880
doesn't work, then I can open
it up and switch it ed. I'm

499
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:36.519
always a barefoot. I wish I
could be barefoot more, but yes,

500
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:43.960
um, it would be interesting.
I feel backwards, the screaming me backwards.

501
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:47.559
It's not how it works though probably
it's not how it probably won't give

502
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:50.760
me video at all. In fact, you know what, let's just go

503
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:53.719
ahead and boot it and see if
I've got video before I put all the

504
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:59.000
screws back in this right. Here
is your extra internal speaker here. I

505
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:00.280
don't I forget what this is is. I think that's just an airport.

506
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:08.199
So, um, I've got oh
gosh, mine is serial number one zero

507
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:14.239
nine. Somebody somebody at the show. Several of us bought these at the

508
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:16.400
show. Somebody got I think it
was n Yo. He got serial number

509
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:19.880
zero seven three, and I'm like, that's not fair. I want that.

510
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:24.480
So yeah, I think it was
I think it was NYO that got.

511
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:29.880
I don't remember now though, So
okay, um okay, so let

512
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:36.480
me show you my super special Denco
battery. Don't you wish you had a

513
00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:40.199
Denco battery? Yes, yeah,
I have a Denco back You don't.

514
00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:45.719
You don't have a Denco battery.
I don't. I I was playing with

515
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:50.599
batteries this weekend. I got twenty
four volts out of the battery. Nice.

516
00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:52.679
Well, I mean, I guess
nice if it's if that's what you

517
00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:57.519
want. And there was no smoke. Um Don says that the chat smoke

518
00:36:57.559 --> 00:37:04.400
incoming. Yeah, yeah, probably
so so don um Denko gave you one

519
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:08.559
of those yellows or did you create
a wire with it? What the the

520
00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:14.440
the the yellow power plug it's not
powerpol No, it comes with the In

521
00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:16.400
fact, the one it comes this
is the one. This is the one

522
00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:21.000
for my FX for C. Okay, I'm just using the same because I've

523
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:24.599
already built the power uh power poles
the on the FX for C. This

524
00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:28.400
is the one that comes with the
s bid X. It's the same cable.

525
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:30.719
In fact, I think this is
probably like fourteen gage wire here,

526
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:35.559
maybe twelve twelve or fourteen gage wire. And this is the next side.

527
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:37.280
This is like ten gage wire here. So this is the one that comes

528
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:40.039
with the FX for C. Is
actually bigger wire. So I'm just using

529
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:44.119
this because this is the same exact
plug, and I've already put power poles

530
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:45.719
on this one. So I'm just
you know, universal plugging. This is

531
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:52.400
what a concept. So that is
a thing, all right. So let's

532
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:55.360
now it's sitting on the heat sync
right now. It's really supposed to sit

533
00:37:55.480 --> 00:38:00.559
this way because that's where the feet
are. Um but um, you know,

534
00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:07.159
okay, so it was on when
I plugged it in. I saw

535
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:13.760
a flash. It flashed. It
didn't really do anything. Oh oh oh

536
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:20.360
oh, there's a high square.
Yeah, and and the got a cursor

537
00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:22.880
flashing right there. All right,
all right, I think it's the Arabbic

538
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:30.199
cables are happy. I think so, you know, Don the only one

539
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:31.960
at a time. I think he
was telling talking to me about the batteries.

540
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:36.679
Yeah, I put two twelve bolts
batteries in series. Get twelve bolts.

541
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:44.199
Figure that twenty four volts. Okay, and there we are. So

542
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:49.639
another really cool thing about this manual
is it says, well, this is

543
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:53.079
a pretty There's there's no fluff in
this manual. There's no DTA, it's

544
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:57.599
not much detail. But I like
that. I don't like an It's like,

545
00:38:57.719 --> 00:39:00.599
okay, well here's what sideband is, and then it gives you,

546
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:02.280
like it like a thirty year history
on what sideband. It just tells you

547
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:06.599
how to do stuff. So I
thought the manual was very straightforward, very

548
00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:08.880
easy to follow. That kind of
thing tells you how to do FT eight

549
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:15.000
right there. Look at that PSK
thirty one and Riddy and DX spotting clusters.

550
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:17.360
I'm gonna I'm gonna be interested to
see how to self spot myself with

551
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:22.039
this radio. That'd be kind of
cool. So updating, updating the sped

552
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:24.440
X is what I was gonna So
attach a physical keyboard. Oh I didn't

553
00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:31.400
crap. Okay, you're fine.
Uh. Being an open source software,

554
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:35.239
the expedex is frequently the updated with
more features, modes, et cetera.

555
00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:37.480
While it's not necessary for you to
update all the time, you surely would

556
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:42.639
benefit from having the latest version agreed. Okay, attach a physical keyboard connects

557
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:45.480
to the sped X Internet through the
Wi Fi ethernet blah blah blah. Is

558
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:49.920
it touch screen or not? I
thought it was touch screen. Let's see.

559
00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:54.119
Yeah, it is touch screen.
Very nice. So turn on Wi

560
00:39:54.239 --> 00:40:06.920
Fi okay? Um, go away
or no? Turn off Wi Fi should

561
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:13.079
say turn on Wi Fi okay.
And it's only showing me my five g

562
00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:15.800
connections. It's not showing me my
two point four that's interesting. Oh there

563
00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:17.920
it goes, there goes. It
just needed time to refresh. Okay,

564
00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:22.360
So it's usually the other way around, I know it. Yeah, QRZ

565
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:27.719
is my two point four giga Hurts
network my router, and QST is my

566
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.079
five gigger Hurts network. We can't
see the screen it's blown out. But

567
00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:34.760
okay, well, well I don't
want you to see the password I type

568
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:39.960
in anyway, so well, so
so attach a physical keyboard, connect to

569
00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:44.199
the Internet through Wi Fi or Ethernet
from the top panel, tap on the

570
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:49.320
terminal icon. From the terminal icon, moving the spn X forworder by type

571
00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:52.119
and CD sped X center. Okay, change directory, run the update script,

572
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:58.199
which is dot forward slash update.
Okay. That's simple, simple,

573
00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:00.559
simple, simple. Okay. So
that's what we're gonna do. And um

574
00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:13.559
if I had thought about it further, I would have connected a um an

575
00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:16.559
HDMI port to this thing. That
pie has an hdum I port in it.

576
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:20.559
But you can't yet. I wonder
if that's how I wonder if that's

577
00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:24.920
I wonder if you can get to
the Yeah, but it doesn't have it.

578
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:28.360
It's not on the side. It's
it's on the side. It's not

579
00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:30.400
exposed. So let me open this
panel here and see what's underneath here,

580
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:34.960
because I wonder if you can get
to it from this way. But you

581
00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:37.920
have to open up everything and to
run the HDM my cable out. Yeah,

582
00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:42.760
yeah, which normally you wouldn't want. It's gotta it's gotta When you're

583
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:44.679
in the field operating, you don't
really care about that. But you know

584
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:52.000
gigaparts lovesby. Yeah, there's so
the Oh so we got we got micro

585
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:58.760
H, we got usbc H,
micro hd M my times two and the

586
00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:00.719
three point five millimeter Jack. I
forget what that is. That might be

587
00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:07.480
a um yeah um son. So
there you go, right, that was

588
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:10.760
supposed to be a secret. While
you're telling everybody, so password is tank

589
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:15.960
radio? It is not that actually, No, No, let's tank radio

590
00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:19.480
with the emust on either side.
Yeah. I don't like to crash my

591
00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:21.880
network, so I did. I
wouldn't put that as a password. Um.

592
00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:25.480
But that's kind of nice plate there. But on the other hand,

593
00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:31.519
why wouldn't they just expose it to
begin with, Well, when you're in

594
00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:37.679
the field operating, because they advertise
this is a soda Poda field radio,

595
00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:44.440
which okay, okay, I'm gonna
take it to Poda. I can tell

596
00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:46.800
you right now that's exactly what I'm
gonna do with it. It seems a

597
00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:52.159
little fragile for a soda radio to
me. I don't think I would want

598
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:54.159
to pack this thing in a backpack
unless I get some kind of specialized case

599
00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:59.559
for it, which would be bulky
and maybe heavy and I don't know,

600
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:01.800
stot, but yeah, but you're
not gonna be You're not gonna be plugging

601
00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:06.280
an HD my monitors while you're operating
in the field. Yeah, so I

602
00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:08.199
can kind of see. I'm I'm
okay with that. I'm okay with that.

603
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:12.400
At least they put a port over
here where you could access it pretty

604
00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:14.760
easily. Yeah, you know,
so I can't. I can't complain with

605
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:17.920
that, all right, So here, um, I want to know if

606
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:27.880
I can plug in Hold on a
second, look, I wonder if it'll

607
00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:36.880
take my my wireless WiFi keyboard.
Now the chat saying they think it's one

608
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:42.599
or the other to use that ribbon
display or the HD on my port the

609
00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:45.880
same time at the same time.
That's a good that's a good point.

610
00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:52.639
So that's a good point. Limitation
on the pie it's PIE then I will

611
00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:57.400
understand why they don't expose it seems
like it seems like on a PIE four,

612
00:43:57.599 --> 00:44:00.480
with as advanced as a PIE four
is for a single or computer,

613
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:02.920
you would have you could use both
at the same time. But that's a

614
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:07.000
very good point. That's a very
good point. It will do both HT

615
00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:10.599
and my points at the same time. But they don't know about the rubbing

616
00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:19.400
cable butt. Well, yeah,
that's that's that's a good point from it.

617
00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:22.280
That's that's a very good point.
So okay, okay, I'm good

618
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:28.719
with that. I mean, um, come on, usb A. There

619
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:31.400
we go. Now, let's see
if that works. So I'm plugged in

620
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:37.840
my wireless keyboard. H my mouse
is working. You probably can you see

621
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:40.480
that mouse moving around the screen right
there here? Okay, we got it

622
00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:45.480
all right? Good, So I'm
gonna connect to I'm gonna connect to my

623
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:50.800
can No, it's blown out.
It's blown out. Okay, good,

624
00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:52.480
I don't want you to see that
screen because I'm about to type my password

625
00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:57.239
in. Actually I'm gonna I'm not
gonna take any chances with some of these

626
00:44:57.320 --> 00:45:01.079
guys are so oh shoot, I
can't move them out. I can't move

627
00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:05.400
the mouse. I can't move the
mouse on my on my streaming computer now

628
00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:08.840
because I unplugged my mouse in my
keyboard. Hold on, I got a

629
00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:16.559
second mouse here, So I'm gonna
yeah, I've strained troubles. We're doing

630
00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:21.360
it live. We're doing it live. It's a live There we go,

631
00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:23.199
Hey, look at that. So
I got two my two pieces that look

632
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:30.400
the same as Google Alert thunderstorms coming
in. Dude, it looks like rain

633
00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:32.800
outside here in the backyard. I
had some really dark clouds. I was

634
00:45:34.079 --> 00:45:37.559
I was planning on watering my yard
tonight because it needs it. It was

635
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:39.280
supposed to rain, supposed to thunderstorm
yesterday, and I was like, shoot,

636
00:45:39.320 --> 00:45:43.239
man, I need the water.
I guess I'll have to water tonight.

637
00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:45.320
But now that it looks like they're
storms rolling in, so so if

638
00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:53.000
we oh yeah, uh so,
if we if the stream just suddenly stops

639
00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:59.559
for no reason, it will be
because we've lost power. So all right,

640
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:04.719
y four or fifteen says he got
my tank radio tea sir yesterday.

641
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:07.679
I appreciate it. Man, come
and see me at a half fest.

642
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:12.400
I would give you some stickers.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

643
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:15.360
Why is it glare on that thing? Here we go, Okay,

644
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:19.440
hide characters, Okay, good,
all right, let's connect to Wee Fee

645
00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:25.840
and his password is tank radio is
awesome, the most amazing sidekick that he

646
00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:31.760
can ever have. Yeah, we
need a triple his pay. Yeah we

647
00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:38.159
should triple your pay, Bump Bob. That's what Luke DFW looks like all

648
00:46:38.199 --> 00:46:45.480
the time. No, that is
the traffic map all the red not Actually,

649
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:50.960
yah, Dallas is much much better
than Los Angeles. Not even compare

650
00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:54.760
not in no comparison. Yeah,
yeah, um okay, So I put

651
00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:59.840
the password in. It still says
Waveland zero, w land zero not associated.

652
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:07.320
So Ethernet zero link is down.
W Land zero is not associated.

653
00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:09.320
But you have the password though,
So we're gonna wait and see if this

654
00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:15.159
connects or not. We've got the
wrong mouse. So do you have Wi

655
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:19.480
Fi out in your shack? Are
you connected to the house's Wi Fi?

656
00:47:19.639 --> 00:47:22.599
I'm connected to the house is WiFi? Okay, but I connect Wi Fi

657
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:25.679
like I'm all, I'm all Ethernet. I can plug in Ethernet if I

658
00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:30.719
need to. There's a there's a
twenty five or sixteen port switch underneath the

659
00:47:31.480 --> 00:47:34.960
desk back there, so I could
run an Ethernet cable if I need to.

660
00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:40.280
I was just wondering, just just
I can usually get get into Wi

661
00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:47.920
Fi from out here, although sometimes
sometimes it's not so reliable. So I'm

662
00:47:47.960 --> 00:47:51.920
gonna I'm gonna sit there and wait
and see if that Wi Fi connects,

663
00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:55.719
and if not, then I might
go and grab. I'm not sure if

664
00:47:55.760 --> 00:48:04.639
I have an Ethernet cable here or
not. Phillip says, triple zero is

665
00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:09.480
still zero. He knows my rate
too well. Um, James, super

666
00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:14.079
chat for ten dollars. Thank you, thank you, thank you for interesting

667
00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:17.920
radio. Thanks. You know what
they are. They are interesting radios.

668
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:22.360
And the cool thing is and this
this, this is stay with me here

669
00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:27.400
for a second. So this guy
created a shar he his name's a shar

670
00:48:27.480 --> 00:48:30.400
If. I'm saying that right.
Uh. He creates this s bid X.

671
00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:34.119
He's got the U bid X and
the bid X and these the several

672
00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:37.480
QRP Raspberry piestyle radios. And he
creates this first spied X a year year

673
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:42.920
and a half ago something like that. And the first couple of versions of

674
00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:47.679
it were had some small, minor
issues that he corrected pretty quickly, and

675
00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:51.719
then you know, but they were
big and bulky and not very heavy,

676
00:48:51.800 --> 00:48:53.440
but just kind of like a large
rate. So the fact that I saw

677
00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:57.280
a brand new version at Hamvention this
year, four days in May, and

678
00:48:57.360 --> 00:48:59.480
him I was impressed by it.
I was like, you know what that

679
00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:04.679
okay, So he's continuing with that
project. He is made upgrades to it

680
00:49:04.800 --> 00:49:07.400
advancements to it, and I'm like, okay, four days in May twenty

681
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:12.760
twenty four, if he has a
new version, probably picked that one up

682
00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:15.360
too, because it's just a it's
just a neat it's just a neat project.

683
00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:21.039
So I just a good point for
the chat V E five s A

684
00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:25.119
R Jody, Yeah, says is
that a metal case? If it is,

685
00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:30.599
the Wi Fi would be pretty bad, yes, and I thought about

686
00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:34.000
that as well. However, our
Wi Fi just connected, so now I've

687
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:37.960
only got one bar, but the
Wi Fi router is in is through the

688
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:40.239
house in the garage over there,
and um so there there you go.

689
00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:45.159
Okay, so we're gonna try to
gonna try to open up a terminal window.

690
00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:49.599
There we go, and we're gonna
go to CD. What it did

691
00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:52.440
it say? CD SDEX what's the
directory? Win you, Shane, I'd

692
00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:59.119
rather be stuck in Dallas. That's
stuck in La damn right, CD s

693
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:01.320
vdex enter. Okay, so,
uh can you can you see that black

694
00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:07.000
screen there a little bit? A
little bit, We're going to take your

695
00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:10.920
word that what you're doing CD sped
X. So So I'm now I'm in

696
00:50:12.199 --> 00:50:19.960
Now I'm in the sped X directory. It it looks like it is UM.

697
00:50:20.519 --> 00:50:22.719
It's hard to tell. It looks
like it's it's logged in his route

698
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:25.079
already. I see a dollar sign, so I think it's logged in his

699
00:50:25.159 --> 00:50:30.159
route already. Well the sign is
um. Just where the cursor is at.

700
00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:35.519
Well, what's the There's there's a
there's a there's a character that means

701
00:50:35.559 --> 00:50:37.119
you're root or not route. There's
the tilty. It means you're in the

702
00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:40.960
home directory. If you type that's
where it was when I went to,

703
00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:46.960
uh, type what who, they'll
tell you who you're logged in as who.

704
00:50:49.800 --> 00:50:52.760
I'm logged in as PIE. I
don't know if that so you're not

705
00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:59.079
su pseudo or yeah. You have
to look up and see what the pseudo

706
00:50:59.119 --> 00:51:00.559
password is for it. So okay, all right, Well it doesn't say

707
00:51:00.599 --> 00:51:04.199
that I have to be route to
run this update. It says change directories

708
00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:07.599
to a spedex, which we did, and it says, uh, just

709
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:15.000
um type type in update, So
let's do that. Don corrected who am

710
00:51:15.119 --> 00:51:16.280
I? I thought it was that? Who am I? I thought it

711
00:51:16.320 --> 00:51:20.960
was who am I too? Yeah, I just I almost said that.

712
00:51:22.159 --> 00:51:28.440
Okay, So it says so it's
thinking right now, there it goes there,

713
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:30.960
it goes. It's funny. You
can see the tech Yeah, you

714
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:35.480
can see that. So what commanded
you type? There? Uh dot forward

715
00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:39.119
slash, which means run under this
directory update Just the word update, that

716
00:51:39.239 --> 00:51:44.880
was it. So yeah, that
was probably an update script there. That's

717
00:51:44.880 --> 00:51:46.239
just yeah, yeah, it says, it says, it says run the

718
00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:52.239
update script. Note the dot before
the forward slash for dot forward slash update,

719
00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:58.079
which just means run the update uh
script in this in your current Windows

720
00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:02.320
users. Yeah, I know forward
slash. I know dot forward slash,

721
00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:06.280
so I'm familiar with that one.
All right, we're back to the prompt

722
00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:17.679
already. Good good good, Okay, So now we're there and um database

723
00:52:17.880 --> 00:52:23.440
is intact compiling a sped x version
two v two dot zero in homepie sped

724
00:52:23.639 --> 00:52:37.000
x. Okay, all right,
blah blah blah blah blah, unpacking downloading

725
00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:42.119
something from GitHub dot com. Yeah, so it's just doing the whole update.

726
00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:44.519
So that might take us. But
it says, it says, error,

727
00:52:44.679 --> 00:52:47.639
Your your local changes to the following
files will be over written by merge

data forward slash hw underscore sendings dot
II. Please commit your changes are stashed

729
00:52:52.639 --> 00:52:57.400
in before you merge and then it
says aboarding what So I don't know if

730
00:52:57.440 --> 00:53:04.079
that actually it's a git pull.
So it says you're you're what. Yeah,

731
00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:07.280
this doesn't make sense. So I
don't know if that actually updated or

732
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:10.000
not. No, it did not, So you're giving You're getting a get

733
00:53:10.320 --> 00:53:15.519
error saying that you're you got changes
locally that are in the repo, and

734
00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:19.679
it's stopping you've been doing anything.
This is why it gets horrible. Um,

735
00:53:21.679 --> 00:53:27.960
but why is it doing a get
thing here? Um? I don't

736
00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:34.280
know. Uh, I gotta look
at my get commands. Yeah, see,

737
00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:36.800
I don't know if it tells me. I wonder if okay, me

738
00:53:36.920 --> 00:53:42.280
thumb through the manual and see if
I've got a a super user or a

739
00:53:42.800 --> 00:53:50.280
sudo password. It wouldn't surprise me
if it was just either spit x or

740
00:53:50.440 --> 00:53:53.559
Raspberry or something can't or just trying
to If you want to do pseudo and

741
00:53:53.800 --> 00:54:00.360
run that script, then that run
that script super user. Uh, that

742
00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:04.599
might work. I did uh super
use a space stash Ellen. It's wanting

743
00:54:04.599 --> 00:54:09.000
a password, okay, so let's
do pseudo update. It's gonna ask me

744
00:54:09.079 --> 00:54:14.360
for a password though, well no, okay, it looks like it's going

745
00:54:16.320 --> 00:54:21.639
maybe maybe the pie maybe the pie
user is a super user. I'm curious

746
00:54:21.920 --> 00:54:23.599
because I feel like it might give
us the same error here. Yeah,

747
00:54:23.639 --> 00:54:29.519
I'm I'm thinking, So Scott says, does it do APRS? Uh no,

748
00:54:29.840 --> 00:54:34.360
it does not do APRS? All
right? So I see a prompt.

749
00:54:35.199 --> 00:54:37.960
What's it saying? All right?
So here? Uh yeah, same

750
00:54:38.119 --> 00:54:44.519
error? Please commit your changes or
stashed him before you merge a boarding what

751
00:54:45.440 --> 00:54:47.440
m So, I'm gonna take it. I'm gonna take a picture of this

752
00:54:47.519 --> 00:54:52.360
and I'm gonna send it to a
char And I don't think he's He's not

753
00:54:52.400 --> 00:54:53.920
in the chat as he I'm sure
he's not. It's probably like three am

754
00:54:54.000 --> 00:55:00.480
where he lives. Okay, do
we know where the get directory is?

755
00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:06.880
Uh? Hold on, I'll tell
you. You mean inside of this this?

756
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:10.039
Uh yeah, if you want to
play with it or if you want

757
00:55:10.039 --> 00:55:13.320
to wait for him. No,
I don't think that I want to do

758
00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:15.920
I don't think I want to play
with it. No, Okay, uh

759
00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:23.480
Data forward, slash, HW underscore
settings, dot INI that's um do a

760
00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:32.480
l LS space stass L list everything. Do we see a dot get Probably

761
00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:42.199
at the top of the director You
might have to scroll up dot get negative

762
00:55:42.599 --> 00:55:45.239
all right, so there are no
there are no, there are no directories

763
00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:49.519
inside of this director. At this
point, I will have to tear into

764
00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:52.840
the script to see where that get
directory is to clean it. I think

765
00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:59.360
Mike has the rights get stashed stas
stash all so that will just stash everything.

766
00:56:00.239 --> 00:56:04.079
Um, why's it messing with a
get repo? I don't know,

767
00:56:04.280 --> 00:56:07.920
but it's pulling from get hub already
pulling from get hub. Yeah, he

768
00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:12.159
keeps that's where you upload the updates
too. Yeah yeah, but there's nothing

769
00:56:12.199 --> 00:56:16.360
in the update instructions that say about
stashing anything or blah blah blah. And

770
00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:20.519
I was just looking for a version. Now, Mike, we cant until

771
00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:22.599
we're in the right directory in order
to get to the right director, where

772
00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:27.039
you have to tear the script apart
and figure out where it's trying to do

773
00:56:27.199 --> 00:56:34.800
that command from. I was thinking
about a get reset, a hard reset,

774
00:56:35.360 --> 00:56:38.519
and just blow everything away and then
let the script do its thing.

775
00:56:39.599 --> 00:56:45.000
Oh okay, I so I I
owe a Hawk. I owe a Hank.

776
00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:49.480
I'm sorry about that. Uh he
was talking earlier like he owned one.

777
00:56:49.800 --> 00:56:52.079
I assume you own one, dude, and I assume your name is

778
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:55.079
Hank. I'm gonna call you,
Hank. He says. The pseudo password

779
00:56:55.199 --> 00:57:00.639
is HF one two three five,
so I didn't have to type it password

780
00:57:00.719 --> 00:57:06.960
into for pseudio command though. When
I tell when I type super user space

781
00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:09.760
dash ll, it asked me for
a password, but our space dash L

782
00:57:10.159 --> 00:57:15.559
when I typed sudo space update,
it did not ask me for a password,

783
00:57:15.559 --> 00:57:17.440
and it tried to run the thing, Jody, but good get commanded

784
00:57:17.719 --> 00:57:22.639
picking up the reset hard. That
just nukes everything locally, and yeah,

785
00:57:23.159 --> 00:57:28.559
the branch, I'm not going to
do that. You try app update,

786
00:57:28.639 --> 00:57:32.440
but app update won't fix if a
get changes the app get update. Yeah,

787
00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:38.000
at our pseudo app update, pseudo
app update, they changed app dash

788
00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:42.039
get to app just app update.
Is that? I think I've read that

789
00:57:42.119 --> 00:57:45.039
somewhere somewhere. Um, there's a
difference. I read it once. It

790
00:57:45.280 --> 00:57:50.400
was minor. I think one affects
the other, so it doesn't matter much,

791
00:57:50.519 --> 00:57:53.239
but it will not correct the get
hub issues. Well, I'm gonna

792
00:57:53.280 --> 00:58:04.800
run pseudo app update. Okay,
archive dot Raspberry pie dot org Debbian buster

793
00:58:05.079 --> 00:58:09.000
in release thirty two la la okay, So Debbian busters what it's running,

794
00:58:09.280 --> 00:58:13.079
and it looks like it's trying to
download something right, Well, that that's

795
00:58:13.320 --> 00:58:15.920
the updates, but that's not going
to fix. It's the OS update.

796
00:58:16.199 --> 00:58:19.199
Yeah, but it's not the Yeah
no, no, you're right, it's

797
00:58:19.239 --> 00:58:21.199
not gonna pick the repo. No, no, of course not. But

798
00:58:21.360 --> 00:58:25.679
still h Hawk says, yes he
owns one, and talk to you about

799
00:58:25.800 --> 00:58:32.880
the stream at Dayton. Okay,
Iowa Hank. I'm sure that you went

800
00:58:32.960 --> 00:58:37.000
by a different name then, but
okay, it's it's hard to keep sure.

801
00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:42.519
Yeah yeah yeah, YouTube, YouTube
names, call signs and real names

802
00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:45.000
sometimes don't translate my head. I'm
sure if you walked up to me right

803
00:58:45.079 --> 00:58:49.159
now and shook my hand, I
knew exactly who you were doing. Remembers

804
00:58:49.519 --> 00:58:52.639
name, yes, yeah, faces, faces and yeah, and I'm sure

805
00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:54.800
he didn't have a name tag that
said Iowa Hank at Dayton. So okay,

806
00:58:55.039 --> 00:58:59.960
all right, good to know,
dude. Um, y'all are amazing

807
00:59:00.039 --> 00:59:04.119
thing, but so many, so
many yeah yeah yeah, man, um,

808
00:59:05.320 --> 00:59:10.320
try it one more time, just
just for grins. Yeah, but

809
00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:16.280
that won't fix anything with the repo. No. If it works, I'm

810
00:59:16.280 --> 00:59:22.519
gonna be flabbergasted. But I'll just
email a sharp and say, hey,

811
00:59:22.599 --> 00:59:29.960
dude, what um he impartial?
Yeah, being one there or was a

812
00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:34.559
working card. He did not mean
to send or send without fixing it correctly.

813
00:59:34.719 --> 00:59:38.920
I don't know their speculation. Same
same thing, aboarding. Please commit

814
00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:44.679
your changes to stash them aboarding blah
blah blah. So I assume that means

815
00:59:44.719 --> 00:59:51.719
it did not your choices are stashed
all or nuke everything. And I'm not

816
00:59:51.800 --> 00:59:53.159
gonna nuke anything. Yeah, I'm
not gonna I'm not gonna gap with it

817
00:59:53.320 --> 00:59:58.480
that much. So okay, so
I want to try. I hate third

818
00:59:58.519 --> 01:00:01.679
party tool chain set. Yeah,
but the passion. Why can't we just

819
01:00:01.880 --> 01:00:07.599
pile everything in Linux all right,
powering up the radio blah blah blah.

820
01:00:08.400 --> 01:00:14.320
See um gets already installed because it's
giving us a get error. So that's

821
01:00:14.360 --> 01:00:17.239
why I don't think we need to
install get because that error is a get

822
01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:30.039
error right there. I'm following.
I'm gonna follow with a manual and uh,

823
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:36.400
I'm sure someone who's who's like deeper
into Linux could fix this on their

824
01:00:36.440 --> 01:00:40.239
own. I'm sure that's true.
My the focus of this video and the

825
01:00:40.280 --> 01:00:44.199
focus of my channel overall, if
you, if you guys are new to

826
01:00:44.280 --> 01:00:49.039
the channel, I like to see
I like to do how a real world

827
01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:52.519
end user would do it, and
then I want to fix it how a

828
01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:55.000
real world end user would fix it? Um, I don't want to dig

829
01:00:55.199 --> 01:01:00.760
you know fourteen seventeen layers deep into
Linux that overly sound only some Rail seven

830
01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:05.400
admin could do. But I don't
have to fix analytics. You take it

831
01:01:05.440 --> 01:01:07.920
out and hit it with a hammer. That's one. I don't know if

832
01:01:07.920 --> 01:01:10.840
i'd call that a fix, but
it would certainly feel good to do that.

833
01:01:12.840 --> 01:01:15.599
Jody says, a star fixed this
issue and get back in April.

834
01:01:15.679 --> 01:01:21.360
But it looks like your rare it's
head again. Um, you know what

835
01:01:21.719 --> 01:01:23.360
you know? So I bought this
in May at four days in May and

836
01:01:23.480 --> 01:01:29.519
invention which was middle of May.
It's possible that this one was not updated

837
01:01:29.599 --> 01:01:32.760
with whatever he fixed. So again, so again, So I want to

838
01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:36.320
do a video that says, hey, you get the Sarah, how's it?

839
01:01:36.360 --> 01:01:40.079
Here's how to fix it the way
recommended by the developers. So now,

840
01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:44.679
yeah, if you know what get
hub it's pulling from, we might

841
01:01:44.760 --> 01:01:51.280
look at it their repell and maybe
it has a suggested fix on their get

842
01:01:51.360 --> 01:01:58.719
hub. Okay, So, um, first time set up. As a

843
01:01:58.800 --> 01:02:01.280
first time user, you have to
enter some basic information to enable proper logging

844
01:02:01.320 --> 01:02:05.400
in macro operations. So in the
controls call them on the left, Scroll

845
01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:16.960
down and select the settings button.
If not already displayed controls Settings. Scrolling

846
01:02:16.960 --> 01:02:22.239
on sect the set. I don't
see it settings. This feels like work

847
01:02:22.360 --> 01:02:27.039
now looking at GitHub to figure out
what's wrong with their geth hub right.

848
01:02:28.079 --> 01:02:37.679
Oh, oh, it's maybe it's
down here. Nope. Preferences print settings

849
01:02:37.800 --> 01:02:42.840
now, appearance settings, Ham Radio. Oh, look at that hammer?

850
01:02:43.000 --> 01:02:45.039
Can you see that? Is that
washed out in the screen? We can

851
01:02:45.079 --> 01:02:49.760
see the icons, but not the
way. So there's a So there's a

852
01:02:49.840 --> 01:02:53.480
subheader in here called ham Radio.
And when I hover a mouse Overham radio

853
01:02:53.559 --> 01:03:05.079
and has fl rq fl dig fl
rig len PSK Linux, PSK assume message

854
01:03:05.159 --> 01:03:12.039

SKANTV sweet w s jtx rad G,

855
01:03:12.280 --> 01:03:19.880
predict and spit X. So sped
x is probably the radio software radio control

856
01:03:19.960 --> 01:03:24.079
software. I assume boom, here
we go. How does that look?

857
01:03:30.639 --> 01:03:37.199
Pass key so restore pages? Nope, I don't want to do that.

858
01:03:37.679 --> 01:03:39.559
The sped X is an open and
store as paspell in necttion enter the passkey

859
01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:45.079
access your sped X new user Try
one two three is a pass key change

860
01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:51.159
it when prompted, okay, come, oh shoot, Linux hates a the

861
01:03:51.639 --> 01:03:58.800
numeric keyboard start. Oh look that, Oh that is beautiful. Nice,

862
01:03:59.440 --> 01:04:01.960
look at that. There's a waterfall
up there. I don't have an antenna

863
01:04:02.000 --> 01:04:04.119
connected right now, so we're not
going to see a signal or anything.

864
01:04:05.519 --> 01:04:10.599
I will be taking this out on
Poda and doing some at least, so

865
01:04:10.760 --> 01:04:13.480
I want to try to do some
sideband with it, honestly, but we'll

866
01:04:13.480 --> 01:04:17.559
absolutely do some FT eight with it. So I'm not sure where this in

867
01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:24.880
the controls call him. I'm sure
where that's talking about. There. There's

868
01:04:24.880 --> 01:04:31.719
an update button if you go,
okay, my call sign. Oh he's

869
01:04:31.719 --> 01:04:36.920
a repoll doesn't have a read me. Come on, there we go.

870
01:04:38.000 --> 01:04:41.000
If we scroll down settings, this
is probably what he's talking about right here.

871
01:04:41.119 --> 01:04:46.360
Settings in the settings panel in your
call sign, grid location, or

872
01:04:48.079 --> 01:04:51.159
use the on screenk where you can
change a pass key recommended. Leave the

873
01:04:51.239 --> 01:04:55.079
other settings as they are for now, press update with the new setting.

874
01:04:55.159 --> 01:05:01.119
So my call sign, what's my
call sign? Okay, yeah, my

875
01:05:01.280 --> 01:05:09.599
grid echo MIC twelve. I'm just
gonna leave that side tone, CW time

876
01:05:09.639 --> 01:05:14.920
out, CDW input tell net server. His update script is pretty simple.

877
01:05:15.320 --> 01:05:18.800
We can do this if you want, um, and where are you looking?

878
01:05:19.480 --> 01:05:25.840
I pulled his repo. I'm looking
on nice if this update script is

879
01:05:25.880 --> 01:05:30.719
the same script that you're running.
Uh, here, it's just change of

880
01:05:30.800 --> 01:05:33.360
director. He's doing a git pull
for the latest and a build, so

881
01:05:35.000 --> 01:05:44.119
we can definitely do a nuking or
stashing all the changes and just running the

882
01:05:44.239 --> 01:05:53.719
command again to build. But um, that's fine, but let's let's let's

883
01:05:53.800 --> 01:05:58.559
let him answer. I'm curious to
see what he would say. I'm curious.

884
01:05:58.599 --> 01:06:00.199
Yeah, I'm curious to see what
he would say. So it comes

885
01:06:00.280 --> 01:06:01.920
up in mode. I don't know
if you can see this or not,

886
01:06:02.920 --> 01:06:06.719
might be too washed out on the
screen. It comes up in modes CW

887
01:06:06.960 --> 01:06:10.159
right here. So if I clicked
on the drop down next to mode,

888
01:06:10.199 --> 01:06:15.239
I have upper USB, LSB,
cwn CWR, FT eight, PSK thirty

889
01:06:15.280 --> 01:06:18.519
one, ritty digital, and two
tone. So I wonder what digital is

890
01:06:18.599 --> 01:06:21.800
because FT, PSK thirty one and
ritty are it's are their own modes.

891
01:06:21.880 --> 01:06:29.239
And then there's a digital mode so
maybe j T sixty five, maybe FT

892
01:06:29.440 --> 01:06:31.519
four, I don't know. I
don't know what that is. So comes

893
01:06:31.599 --> 01:06:35.280
up in so it's on forty meters
seven out thirty five. I'm gonna change

894
01:06:35.280 --> 01:06:39.400
at the lower sideband and then it
comes up on the screen there. I

895
01:06:39.440 --> 01:06:42.440
don't know if you can see that. There's a red button here for transmitting,

896
01:06:42.920 --> 01:06:46.480
a blue button for RX, so
you can presumably transmit with the touch

897
01:06:46.519 --> 01:06:54.920
screen there. So that's kind of
neat. Your radio is now configured for

898
01:06:55.000 --> 01:06:59.079
all modes, basic operations. It
goes through. It's got some really good

899
01:06:59.679 --> 01:07:02.639
and I said a minute ago,
this is a very straightforward manual. It's

900
01:07:02.840 --> 01:07:09.440
uh RF gain controls, tuning dial
step five. Different tuning steps are provided

901
01:07:09.480 --> 01:07:14.360
from ten hurts up to one hundred
kill a hurt step. Frequency display box

902
01:07:14.440 --> 01:07:16.760
at the top left of the screen. It shows frequency, AGC speed,

903
01:07:17.320 --> 01:07:21.559
automatic game control speed, the selected
bandwidth, the RIT, the split status,

904
01:07:21.679 --> 01:07:25.599
the RX gain, the TX drive, etc. It provides summary of

905
01:07:25.639 --> 01:07:30.119
your radio setting. So cool.
So I think this is a very well

906
01:07:30.239 --> 01:07:32.920
written and straightforward to the point,
no fluff manual. And that's the kind

907
01:07:32.920 --> 01:07:39.280
of manual that I like. So
band stacked VFO. It's got dual VFOs

908
01:07:39.360 --> 01:07:43.280
for crime out loud. My freaking
IC seven thousand doesn't have it, does

909
01:07:43.480 --> 01:07:45.239
It does? But you can't display
both at the same time. Dual VFOs

910
01:07:45.320 --> 01:07:50.320
is pretty cool. It's got dual
VFOs and logging and log book. I'll

911
01:07:50.360 --> 01:07:54.320
have to go in there, go
in there, okay, So probably go

912
01:07:54.400 --> 01:08:00.360
in there and do all that here
one of these days. But yeah,

913
01:08:00.679 --> 01:08:04.159
pretty cool. I think that that's
a neat. It's a neat. It's

914
01:08:04.199 --> 01:08:10.639
a neat radio that that runs once
again on the super secret Denco battery that

915
01:08:10.719 --> 01:08:15.199
you all wish you had. I
do wish I had that. Dennis sent

916
01:08:15.320 --> 01:08:16.840
me that. He's like, hey, I made some crack on it on

917
01:08:16.920 --> 01:08:19.520
a live stream one time, and
he's like, hey, i'll make you

918
01:08:19.600 --> 01:08:21.520
a couple, but I'm gonna send
you invoice. I said, fine,

919
01:08:21.520 --> 01:08:24.720
send me an invoice, and I
paid for him. He sent me a

920
01:08:25.279 --> 01:08:29.359
prototype as well. So but yeah, it that that battery will be in

921
01:08:29.399 --> 01:08:31.720
my video that premieres on the Channel
of the Morrow as well. But yeah,

922
01:08:31.720 --> 01:08:35.720
a good deal. I think.
I think Dennis is eighty six ym

923
01:08:35.760 --> 01:08:38.800
in the chat tonight. I haven't
seen him, but I haven't been,

924
01:08:39.880 --> 01:08:44.000
Okay, Um, I'm pretty sure
he's gonna start selling the soon. I

925
01:08:44.039 --> 01:08:45.600
think he's tired of people asking him
about that and he's finally going to do

926
01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:49.640
it. So that could be a
sidebensess all on its own, right.

927
01:08:49.840 --> 01:08:58.920
This guy has twenty six repos Wow. Yeah, yeah, I'm still poking

928
01:08:58.960 --> 01:09:04.359
around so far, I haven't seen
anything on the the some of the code

929
01:09:04.479 --> 01:09:12.520
and scripts that he has for this
device, no open issues that lately say

930
01:09:12.760 --> 01:09:15.960
get issue on setup, So let's
let him an answer. I was hoping

931
01:09:15.960 --> 01:09:21.960
to find an article or a bug
report saying this is fixed or the workarounds.

932
01:09:23.199 --> 01:09:27.920
X Well, somebody said earlier that
they had this issue early on,

933
01:09:28.359 --> 01:09:31.359
they fixed it. Was it dawn
and so again? So maybe one of

934
01:09:31.439 --> 01:09:36.079
my maybe this unit, this specific
unit is prior to that fix. I

935
01:09:36.119 --> 01:09:41.079
don't know, but I will send
him a link to this video and send

936
01:09:41.159 --> 01:09:43.920
him a link to and sending the
picture I just took and say, hey,

937
01:09:44.319 --> 01:09:46.119
this is the issue we ran into
last night in the video, how

938
01:09:46.159 --> 01:09:48.800
do I fix this? And then
I'll probably make another video that says,

939
01:09:48.840 --> 01:09:51.079
hey, here's why we do it. And I'm definitely gonna make a video

940
01:09:51.159 --> 01:09:54.079
taking this out to the field and
doing it and using it from Look,

941
01:09:54.159 --> 01:09:57.399
look how beautiful that screen is.
It's freaking awesome. Man. He had

942
01:09:57.439 --> 01:09:59.800
one of these running at the four
days and I don't know if you saw

943
01:09:59.880 --> 01:10:03.520
that, Frank, But he had
it running there, and of course I

944
01:10:03.600 --> 01:10:06.600
was familiar with it already because I've
got the original version. So he had

945
01:10:06.640 --> 01:10:11.600
it running, and I noticed how
how much smaller the case was. The

946
01:10:11.840 --> 01:10:15.840
screens about the same size, but
the case itself is smaller. It's smaller

947
01:10:15.000 --> 01:10:18.800
this direction right here, up and
down this way. It's not as deep.

948
01:10:19.760 --> 01:10:23.359
It's this the Gen one or Gen
two. This is the V two,

949
01:10:23.479 --> 01:10:26.319
the Gen two. Okay, yeah, did you get also a Gen

950
01:10:26.439 --> 01:10:29.239
one? Jane was asking. I
did, back when it was new.

951
01:10:29.560 --> 01:10:31.600
I got one of the first ones
that had the problems with the finals.

952
01:10:32.079 --> 01:10:35.079
So as soon as you keyed up
if you had an sdo w R higher

953
01:10:35.119 --> 01:10:39.640
than like one point two to one, it blew the finals, and they

954
01:10:39.720 --> 01:10:45.439
provided me with new finals. They
replaced those to their credit. Um but

955
01:10:45.720 --> 01:10:47.000
and I've got the finals here somewhere. I just never went back and did

956
01:10:47.039 --> 01:10:51.279
another follow up video order, so
um so yes, I've still got In

957
01:10:51.359 --> 01:10:54.439
fact, I said at the beginning
of the stream, if anyone wants to

958
01:10:54.520 --> 01:11:00.359
purchase this original Developer Mode A model
of the V one spit X, let

959
01:11:00.439 --> 01:11:02.079
me know I did pay for both
of these. I was neither one of

960
01:11:02.119 --> 01:11:05.359
these were donated to me. I
paid for both of them. You can

961
01:11:05.439 --> 01:11:13.439
see that beautiful, beautiful screen should
do it? Is that better? Better?

962
01:11:13.520 --> 01:11:18.880
Okay? So yeah? So um
so if anyone wants to purchase this

963
01:11:19.119 --> 01:11:23.560
UH original model, I'll make you
a deal on it. You said you

964
01:11:23.640 --> 01:11:25.960
had a GIN one as well as
the manual, the same for the GIN

965
01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:30.720
one as GIN two. I doubt
it, but I don't know where my

966
01:11:30.960 --> 01:11:32.960
manual for the gym one ever went. In fact, I don't remember having

967
01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:35.600
a manual for the GIN one.
I think it was online, but I

968
01:11:35.640 --> 01:11:39.399
could be wrong about that. There
might be one round floating round or somewhere,

969
01:11:39.520 --> 01:11:41.680
but it's been like over a year, so I don't I don't remember

970
01:11:41.760 --> 01:11:45.960
that. Can you use Vara HF
on it? If Vara HF will run

971
01:11:46.079 --> 01:11:50.880
on uh Rasbian Raspberry Pie Lenox,
then yeah, I mean it'll run anything

972
01:11:50.920 --> 01:11:59.920
that runs on It's just a buster
Rasbian build. So um it's a key

973
01:12:00.039 --> 01:12:02.880
board the keyboard chat program similar to
UH. I've read about it. I've

974
01:12:02.920 --> 01:12:09.439
never used Vara. Oh it's uh
it's some kind of wind link. It's

975
01:12:09.479 --> 01:12:11.920
it's similar to win link, or
it's a version of wind link or something

976
01:12:12.000 --> 01:12:15.560
like that. Okay, um,
a question. What are the knobs on

977
01:12:15.640 --> 01:12:18.800
the side for? So this one's
your tuning knob. This one here is

978
01:12:18.800 --> 01:12:21.960
your tuning I see it going up
and down the top of the corner right

979
01:12:23.319 --> 01:12:27.319
and I'm pretty sure this one's volume, although I can't hear anything right now,

980
01:12:27.840 --> 01:12:30.079
but I don't have anything. I
don't have an antenna constant static though,

981
01:12:30.279 --> 01:12:34.520
right well without a nintenna probably not. I don't know. Um they

982
01:12:34.560 --> 01:12:39.920
are. They are both pushable,
so you couldn't. Yeah, okay,

983
01:12:39.960 --> 01:12:41.600
so I don't know if you guys
can see it that or not. But

984
01:12:41.680 --> 01:12:45.800
there's a volume slider here that's obviously
touchscreen. You can okay, all right,

985
01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:48.159
so go ahead and turn it now. Can you hear that? Yeah,

986
01:12:50.520 --> 01:12:55.840
so I can turn the volume.
That's the volume knob and then uh

987
01:12:56.199 --> 01:13:00.239
and then yeah, this is the
tuning knob here, So there you go.

988
01:13:00.720 --> 01:13:02.279
That's what that is. Did you
start send you the kit for the

989
01:13:02.319 --> 01:13:10.520
original s bid X the one I
got one, but Josh did not.

990
01:13:11.840 --> 01:13:15.159
But there's a kit that will make
the old one just like the No,

991
01:13:15.720 --> 01:13:17.159
no, don he did not send
me that. In fact, I didn't

992
01:13:17.159 --> 01:13:21.159
even know this existed until I was
at four days of May and I looked

993
01:13:21.159 --> 01:13:26.119
at it and I thought, I
gotta have that. I gotta have that.

994
01:13:26.680 --> 01:13:29.359
Yes, I gotta have that because
I really liked the idea behind the

995
01:13:29.399 --> 01:13:31.920
original one. It was a little
bit big, a little bit clunky.

996
01:13:32.600 --> 01:13:38.159
It was this very first version a
little bit buggy, but you know,

997
01:13:38.960 --> 01:13:42.199
a good idea, this one,
this one seems very solid and very put

998
01:13:42.279 --> 01:13:46.479
together. So Jody says he sent
me the discord link to fix it.

999
01:13:48.640 --> 01:13:56.920
Seem wearing Discord just just d m
Jody d directly to fix what this issue.

1000
01:13:57.399 --> 01:14:01.079
Okay, it might be a post
yeah ah ah. He sent it

1001
01:14:01.119 --> 01:14:08.199
in Tank Tank radio. Oh uh
blah blah blah blah. I'm getting stuck

1002
01:14:08.439 --> 01:14:13.920
on the SSH error your local changes
where the following files will be overrating to

1003
01:14:14.039 --> 01:14:18.359
merge HF settings to I and I
please commit or abort blah blah blah.

1004
01:14:18.520 --> 01:14:24.039
That's that's the error message, or
the message I was getting. Okay,

1005
01:14:24.239 --> 01:14:30.520
but this doesn't think amand compiles.
But Linux struggle shooting is always fun on

1006
01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:34.079
stream because you get people asking questions
in the chat and you get all the

1007
01:14:34.159 --> 01:14:38.439
Linux gurus in there. We'll do
this, we'll do this, will they

1008
01:14:38.760 --> 01:14:42.680
and you guys aren't wrong. But
this is not Linux one O one.

1009
01:14:42.760 --> 01:14:45.720
This is how to get on the
error. Yeah, um, this is

1010
01:14:45.760 --> 01:14:49.239
going back to the original. I
forgot who said it first? Um stashing

1011
01:14:49.439 --> 01:14:56.079
local changes before running the update script. Um. So either of those two

1012
01:14:56.159 --> 01:15:00.439
commands that we were talking about earlier, a stash that will save off whatever

1013
01:15:00.760 --> 01:15:05.000
is there, and we write your
changes back to what the main branches or

1014
01:15:05.159 --> 01:15:11.399
the get dash get reset dast sash
hard will just blow away whatever local changes

1015
01:15:11.439 --> 01:15:16.079
you have to back to whatever the
main branch the last you pulled was,

1016
01:15:16.840 --> 01:15:21.279
and then when you do an update, it will pull the newest changes and

1017
01:15:23.159 --> 01:15:29.239
everything will be happy. So let's
just get get get being get. I

1018
01:15:29.399 --> 01:15:31.199
think that I want to. I
think I think that I want to make

1019
01:15:31.520 --> 01:15:38.079
a video with that error and the
fix for it. You said that was

1020
01:15:38.119 --> 01:15:41.520
in the tanker's chat France. Okay, I'll go find it. I'll go

1021
01:15:41.600 --> 01:15:43.880
find it, but I want to
I want to confirm with a chard that

1022
01:15:43.960 --> 01:15:45.840
that that's the correct I mean,
I'm sure Jody probably he probably got it

1023
01:15:45.880 --> 01:15:50.880
from a shark. It's it's yeah, it's gilt. Yeah. Well maybe

1024
01:15:50.880 --> 01:15:53.800
he knows more about it. Hey, I'm sure he knows more about get

1025
01:15:53.840 --> 01:15:58.680
than I do, but yeah,
that where radio would be so much better

1026
01:15:58.760 --> 01:16:05.600
with nicer knobs L two flex radio. End of story. The knobs are

1027
01:16:05.640 --> 01:16:10.720
beautiful. They're there. You can
tell, you can tell that they are

1028
01:16:11.000 --> 01:16:14.239
that they are the type of knobs
you would find the Borgain bin like a

1029
01:16:14.399 --> 01:16:18.520
radio shack. And that's Are they
clickable or are they the smooth? They're

1030
01:16:18.640 --> 01:16:24.079
vab. No, No, they're
very they're variable, the very smooth.

1031
01:16:24.439 --> 01:16:28.439
Okay, very smooth. It looks
like a good knob. I'm not gonna

1032
01:16:28.439 --> 01:16:31.680
go about some spending some replace,
replace the freaking buy one and replace the

1033

thank you very much. I remember
Don the first time we uh but

1042
01:17:16.319 --> 01:17:21.439
what what was that build I think
that was the more sereno that we did

1043
01:17:21.520 --> 01:17:26.720
with Kyle. I think who's that
one. I think it was that the

1044
01:17:26.800 --> 01:17:30.119
first. It was the one of
it was one of the kits we built

1045
01:17:30.199 --> 01:17:33.920
and I put it together wrong,
and I'm like, oh wait, I

1046
01:17:34.199 --> 01:17:38.119
did that wrong. So I went
back and fixed it while all of you

1047
01:17:38.239 --> 01:17:42.920
guys were doing something else and done
and Don uh no, I did the

1048
01:17:42.960 --> 01:17:45.079
sherry on my own, pretty sure. I did the shay on my own.

1049
01:17:45.600 --> 01:17:48.560
Um, And I went back and
Don Don was yeah it was and

1050
01:17:48.640 --> 01:17:53.840
I put the board in backwards.
Yes you did. Yeah, yeah,

1051
01:17:53.920 --> 01:17:56.560
yeah, yeah. Don says he
has the yeah, and Don sends to

1052
01:17:56.600 --> 01:17:58.720
me, sends me a message.
He's like, dude, he's like,

1053
01:17:59.079 --> 01:18:01.800
that was awesome because you've messed it
up and you fixed it on air.

1054
01:18:01.920 --> 01:18:04.039
And he's like, I don't remember
if he said he did the same thing

1055
01:18:04.159 --> 01:18:06.560
or if he's like, I really
like seeing you fix it. So I'm

1056
01:18:06.600 --> 01:18:10.960
like, okay. So that's and
I've said this in multiple videos in the

1057
01:18:11.000 --> 01:18:15.520
past, guys, I want to
show you what the real world end user

1058
01:18:15.640 --> 01:18:17.960
experience is. Like, I'm not
I'm not a freaking Lenox expert. I'm

1059
01:18:18.000 --> 01:18:21.039
not I'm not a I'm not a
deep dive. Hey, let's dig into

1060
01:18:21.119 --> 01:18:27.600
the code of this and hack this
thing up. Yeah, And it's fine

1061
01:18:27.640 --> 01:18:29.399
if that's what you want to do, But I want to I want to

1062
01:18:29.439 --> 01:18:32.079
do something that's like, hey,
if you boot this up whatever it is,

1063
01:18:32.239 --> 01:18:35.680
this radio, something else. And
I've showed this, I've showed mistakes

1064
01:18:35.760 --> 01:18:40.000
on the on on my video that's
like, I'm gonna unbox this radio today

1065
01:18:40.159 --> 01:18:42.239
and I'm gonna press this and this
and this, and I screwed up.

1066
01:18:42.279 --> 01:18:45.039
And as I went back and fix
it or something, people are like,

1067
01:18:45.359 --> 01:18:47.239
why don't you why don't you rehearse
that so you don't make mistakes on on

1068
01:18:47.359 --> 01:18:50.279
your video. And I'm like,
because the mistakes I make, somebody else

1069
01:18:50.399 --> 01:18:54.960
might make, yes, And I
want to show you how to fix those

1070
01:18:55.039 --> 01:19:01.279
mistakes us the marshmallows fulfield, I
already brought that up. I already brought

1071
01:19:01.359 --> 01:19:06.199
that up. I told her that
you guys uh initiated that conversation at pot

1072
01:19:06.239 --> 01:19:11.279
to weekend and I and yes,
yes, I told her, Oh so

1073
01:19:11.399 --> 01:19:16.319
my wife, My wife makes marshmallows, homemade marshmallows. If that's the thing

1074
01:19:17.039 --> 01:19:21.880
some of you think those come out
of a machine. Somewhere in Wisconsin or

1075
01:19:21.920 --> 01:19:26.800
something. No, you can actually
make them at home. And she puts

1076
01:19:26.840 --> 01:19:32.439
bourbon in hers. She takes magic
from marshmallows. It's just just and then

1077
01:19:32.600 --> 01:19:38.840
fuses bourbon with it. It's just
I'm just gonna leave that there. It's

1078
01:19:38.920 --> 01:19:41.600
I've always thought it was a little
bit risky putting them on over the fire

1079
01:19:41.640 --> 01:19:46.439
and roasting them because I thought they
might explode. But so are. Yeah,

1080
01:19:46.640 --> 01:19:49.800
there's no alcohol in him, but
they do have a distinctly bourbon flavor.

1081
01:19:51.600 --> 01:19:57.479
Yeah, oh yeah, amazing.
They are so totally breaking keto for

1082
01:19:57.640 --> 01:20:00.119
them. Oh yeah, well you
gotta break keyto over Field day weekend dude.

1083
01:20:00.479 --> 01:20:05.319
So uh, no response and what
he wanted for the V one?

1084
01:20:05.680 --> 01:20:10.199
What would his wife sell it for? If she's the child that's awesome.

1085
01:20:12.279 --> 01:20:15.159
I don't know. Um, I
don't. Honestly, I don't remember how

1086
01:20:15.239 --> 01:20:17.399
much I paid for the V one. I want to say it was around

1087
01:20:17.600 --> 01:20:28.880
three fifty mark two hundred bucks to
two hundred bucks. Let me know if

1088
01:20:28.920 --> 01:20:30.720
that's acceptable. If somebody's willing to
give me two hundred bucks for the for

1089
01:20:30.800 --> 01:20:33.760
the V one, I will sell
it for two hundred. Well, she

1090
01:20:33.960 --> 01:20:40.239
isn't accountants. She will get her
moneys out of it. She knows what

1091
01:20:40.359 --> 01:20:45.359
I make so well does she knows
what you spend on radios? She does.

1092
01:20:45.439 --> 01:20:49.319
We had a discussion about that yesterday. Actually, what's up, porker,

1093
01:20:50.000 --> 01:20:55.800
Jason's in trouble. No, whn't
it wouldn't that. It wouldn't that

1094
01:20:55.880 --> 01:20:59.560
kind of conversation, I explained to
her. No, I know, I

1095
01:20:59.640 --> 01:21:03.279
know, it's fine. Um yeah, I explained to her. How expenditures

1096
01:21:03.279 --> 01:21:05.600
on radio, Well, we were
talking about the FtM five hundred, which

1097
01:21:05.600 --> 01:21:09.560
is right there by the way.
Holy crap, have you ever done APRS

1098
01:21:09.600 --> 01:21:12.880
Thursday? Who in the chat's ever
done aprss? Wait? Wait, wait,

1099
01:21:13.000 --> 01:21:15.479
this is new to me. Step
back, gorus Thursday? What is

1100
01:21:15.520 --> 01:21:18.920
that? We'll go watch my Wednesday
live stream from like a month ago,

1101
01:21:18.960 --> 01:21:21.399
Frank, and you know what it
is? Well, I'm working when your

1102
01:21:21.439 --> 01:21:27.399
live stream is gone. Doesn't mean
I didn't say beyond it. I said,

1103
01:21:27.399 --> 01:21:30.840
go watch it, team replay,
buddy, Come on. So APRS

1104
01:21:30.880 --> 01:21:34.600
Thursday is basically an APRS net that
happens every Thursday. You send a message

1105
01:21:34.640 --> 01:21:42.119
to um hotg Hams on the gram
is what that stands for, and you

1106
01:21:42.199 --> 01:21:46.880
put join and and then you just
start getting completely bombarded, like like yesterday

1107
01:21:46.960 --> 01:21:50.439
I walked into the shock here and
I was still getting all these messages.

1108
01:21:51.399 --> 01:22:00.079
So so APRS UM is um GPS
Positioning Reporting system across ham Radio network and

1109
01:22:00.279 --> 01:22:03.920
a field in there. A part
of that data package is a just raw

1110
01:22:04.159 --> 01:22:10.760
data field that people have figured out
how to write scripts. Scraping the aperis

1111
01:22:10.880 --> 01:22:15.720
data across the Internet looking for keywords
and letters to trigger other things to happen,

1112
01:22:15.840 --> 01:22:20.199
like sending a text message, sending
what other stuff is. And then

1113
01:22:20.239 --> 01:22:24.399
they figured out how to send messages
and other things as they keep patting more

1114
01:22:24.439 --> 01:22:28.000
and more and more scripts. So
I guess some way they started nets with

1115
01:22:28.199 --> 01:22:33.840
these things and correct correct. I
still, I still think Mike is kind

1116
01:22:33.880 --> 01:22:40.199
of write about APRS if Mike's Mike's
point on APRS is that it's useless on

1117
01:22:40.319 --> 01:22:44.960
InCom and I kind of agree with
him. Now he takes it, he

1118
01:22:45.079 --> 01:22:48.359
takes it a little bit far.
He and Mike likes to be Mike likes

1119
01:22:48.399 --> 01:22:54.720
to be Mike arg argumentative so that
he gets more attention, which is not

1120
01:22:54.800 --> 01:22:58.079
a bad thing. It's not a
bad it's very YouTube of him to do

1121
01:22:58.239 --> 01:23:00.680
that. But his point about his
his point about MCom is is correct.

1122
01:23:00.760 --> 01:23:04.039
I think I agree wholeheartedly with that, and that's that's where I was going

1123
01:23:04.119 --> 01:23:09.319
with M and M comp situations where
a lot of things are knocked out.

1124
01:23:09.439 --> 01:23:14.079
You got to be lucky enough to
have someone with an APRS receiver. Yeah,

1125
01:23:14.199 --> 01:23:16.680
I incorrectly to get a lot of
that functionality out. Even if you

1126
01:23:16.760 --> 01:23:21.000
have a receiver and not connected to
anything, APRS again is still useless.

1127
01:23:23.039 --> 01:23:26.279
When link Wednesday, I have never
done. I've never done much win link

1128
01:23:26.319 --> 01:23:28.239
I'll do. I do have an
account and I check it every now and

1129
01:23:28.319 --> 01:23:31.479
then. I've sent I send messages
to the tech Prepper gastone and came for

1130
01:23:31.600 --> 01:23:36.920
ack oh semi regularly, m win
link Windsday. I want to do that.

1131
01:23:38.439 --> 01:23:41.119
I'm gonna do that soon. We're
gonna do um I. In fact,

1132
01:23:41.199 --> 01:23:45.399
I had the guys who set up
So there's a Facebook group called APRS

1133
01:23:45.479 --> 01:23:48.560
Thursday, and I got invited to
it by someone a few months ago,

1134
01:23:48.960 --> 01:23:51.720
and I posted in the Facebook ground, I'm like, hey, never heard

1135
01:23:51.720 --> 01:23:55.079
of this? Interested in it?
Sounds like a great idea. Who wants

1136
01:23:55.119 --> 01:23:57.159
to come onto a live stream Wednesday? So I got one of the guys

1137
01:23:57.239 --> 01:23:59.319
to come onto a live stream Wednesday
and that's what we did. We explain

1138
01:23:59.399 --> 01:24:02.039
how APRS or he explained how APRS
Thursday works. Very fun. So if

1139
01:24:02.039 --> 01:24:06.359
anyone knows anyone from whin Lake Wednesday
who runs that process, that system,

1140
01:24:06.439 --> 01:24:11.199
that net would love to get those
guys onto a Wednesday lunchtime livestream and explain

1141
01:24:11.600 --> 01:24:15.079
how to get started with win link
Wednesday. So please and anybody who is

1142
01:24:15.159 --> 01:24:17.119
involved in win link Wednesday or knows
the admins of win link Wednesday, I

1143
01:24:17.159 --> 01:24:20.880
would love to get that just just
to I know what it is, but

1144
01:24:20.960 --> 01:24:24.840
I want to put it out to
the audience and and and uh, you

1145
01:24:24.880 --> 01:24:28.760
know, kind of explain on video
what it is. So please, uh

1146
01:24:29.079 --> 01:24:31.640
please reach out to me if you
haven't any inside track on win link Wednesdays.

1147
01:24:31.720 --> 01:24:34.039
It's really fun. Whin Link is
awesome, I tell you what.

1148
01:24:34.119 --> 01:24:41.279
Whinlake is really cool. That's awesome
because it's email over the air and I

1149
01:24:41.439 --> 01:24:45.840
just I just think that's really fun. And uh, any of them you

1150
01:24:45.880 --> 01:24:49.600
can do, h yeah, you
can do you could you set up so

1151
01:24:49.720 --> 01:24:56.840
people set up win link. Um, I think they're just called nodes when

1152
01:24:56.920 --> 01:25:00.680
link uh Winlake nodes or digipeters were
peters whatever, And you can do it

1153
01:25:00.800 --> 01:25:03.560
on two. There's there's a two
meter one. The net Ark Club has

1154
01:25:03.560 --> 01:25:08.680
a two meter one just right there
at the hospital at Baylor Grapevine. Um,

1155
01:25:09.000 --> 01:25:12.119
I'm pretty sure that's where it is. But you can do it on

1156
01:25:12.159 --> 01:25:15.039
two meters. You can do it
on twenty or forty if you want too.

1157
01:25:15.119 --> 01:25:15.960
There's a lot of guys who do
it on HF. There's a lot

1158
01:25:16.000 --> 01:25:19.920
of HF win link servers out there. Um. So it's just it's basically

1159
01:25:20.279 --> 01:25:26.520
sending email over the air until it
gets to some kind of digipeter or iGATE

1160
01:25:26.640 --> 01:25:29.560
type thing. That's not what they
call it. They don't call it nigate,

1161
01:25:29.960 --> 01:25:34.279
but it's a it's some sort of
node that listens r X. It's

1162
01:25:34.319 --> 01:25:39.720
a transceiver, a radio transceiver that's
also connected to the Internet. So it

1163
01:25:39.800 --> 01:25:44.239
takes Internet traffic and sends it out
VRF and then it brings in RF traffic

1164
01:25:44.319 --> 01:25:47.760
and sends it out to the Internet. So I can email tank radio at

1165
01:25:47.800 --> 01:25:54.239
Yahoo dot com from my from the
woods somewhere, if I can send a

1166
01:25:54.279 --> 01:26:02.600
wing link message r and AOL are
Yahoo. Well yeah, I mean,

1167
01:26:02.680 --> 01:26:08.079
well, it's it's like I'm casey
five HBB at winlink dot org or whatever

1168
01:26:08.119 --> 01:26:11.159
it is. But yeah, I
mean, yeah, a lot of people

1169
01:26:11.199 --> 01:26:14.680
you still use AOL but I am. But yeah, tank cam radio at

1170
01:26:14.800 --> 01:26:17.640
gmail because winks cool. Win Link
gateway, that's the word I was looking

1171
01:26:17.640 --> 01:26:20.359
for, win Link gateway. Thank
you, Scott. Yeah yeah, win

1172
01:26:20.399 --> 01:26:25.520
link gateway. It's nodes, digipeters, eyegates, gateway, whatever. Getting.

1173
01:26:25.760 --> 01:26:27.760
They all do the same. They
all do the same freaking thing.

1174
01:26:28.359 --> 01:26:34.600
One six, telling that one sixty
James Cook nice, Yeah yeah, telling

1175
01:26:34.640 --> 01:26:40.600
that over HF. I can't see
how that won't go wrong. Hey Bob,

1176
01:26:40.680 --> 01:26:44.279
what's up dude? Thanks for making
the stream. Yes, the original

1177
01:26:44.399 --> 01:26:49.520
version does have the pie. In
fact, it is a pie four because

1178
01:26:49.560 --> 01:26:55.960
if you look, those are two
blue USB three ports on that pie.

1179
01:26:57.039 --> 01:27:00.960
So it has a pie four in
it. So yeah, yes, yes

1180
01:27:01.039 --> 01:27:04.359
it has a process. I think
I'm missing I'm missing a couple of the

1181
01:27:04.399 --> 01:27:08.479
screws out of it. I took
there's you can see their screws missing right

1182
01:27:08.560 --> 01:27:13.359
here. I probably have those somewhere, but no guarantees on that and complete

1183
01:27:14.039 --> 01:27:17.399
fifty dollars off. Yeah yeah,
yeah, yeah, so but yeah,

1184
01:27:17.680 --> 01:27:24.640
yeah, thank you for a thanks
for being here, Bob. So anyway,

1185
01:27:24.880 --> 01:27:29.479
um, what kind of um you
know who's interested in this? Project.

1186
01:27:29.560 --> 01:27:31.800
Who's interested in this? Sped X
Do you think you guys are gonna

1187
01:27:32.399 --> 01:27:35.880
um, you guys will thinking you
might go pick one up? I mean

1188
01:27:36.119 --> 01:27:40.039
again, it's three hundred ninety nine
dollars without the pie. I think it's

1189
01:27:40.039 --> 01:27:43.239
four ninety nine with the pie.
Wow, that rain's coming down. Oh

1190
01:27:43.399 --> 01:27:45.640
I haven't heard anything. I can
hear it right now. I just it

1191
01:27:45.800 --> 01:27:48.600
started, then it stopped, and
now it just only three miles apart.

1192
01:27:48.720 --> 01:27:51.840
And well you're in a house.
I'm in shock. So I bet miss

1193
01:27:53.319 --> 01:27:57.479
window and it's not raining there.
Wow. Yeah, I don't see the

1194
01:27:57.560 --> 01:28:01.920
trees moving anything. Absolutely, Bob. I have some screws. I have

1195
01:28:02.039 --> 01:28:10.399
more than just a few. Yeah. So what who do you? Who

1196
01:28:10.600 --> 01:28:14.279
out of you think thinks you might
be interested in purchasing this? Either with

1197
01:28:14.439 --> 01:28:15.199
or without a pie. You can
do it however you want to do,

1198
01:28:16.119 --> 01:28:20.520
says he will hit you up right
now and pay you on PayPal, And

1199
01:28:20.960 --> 01:28:27.640
uh okay, and um, what
are you gonna do with it? Because

1200
01:28:27.640 --> 01:28:30.319
I think it's a freak. I
mean it's like it's got ws J two.

1201
01:28:30.359 --> 01:28:33.039
I mean it's like, Okay,
did you guys see that, uh

1202
01:28:33.279 --> 01:28:42.680
that that video I did on the
um u um uh, shoot, the

1203
01:28:45.520 --> 01:28:54.399
the prime it was called a prime
is UM started with an E something electronics,

1204
01:28:54.880 --> 01:29:01.920
SDR expert SDR expert SDR search your
channel, expert expert SDR expert SDRs

1205
01:29:01.960 --> 01:29:11.000
is software and UM and it's um
UM. It's a Russian company and Gigaparts

1206
01:29:11.079 --> 01:29:15.039
sent me one of their radio.
It's a seven thousand dollars radio. But

1207
01:29:15.560 --> 01:29:19.119
it's a full computer. It's a
full computer, Like you could do video

1208
01:29:19.279 --> 01:29:25.560
editing on this computer built in str
and uh yeah, you probably could,

1209
01:29:26.199 --> 01:29:30.520
and M but it would do all
the things. So you could run WSJTX,

1210
01:29:30.560 --> 01:29:34.479
you could run logging software, you
could run anything that would that would

1211
01:29:34.560 --> 01:29:38.000
run on I think it was a
Windows computer. It might have been Linux,

1212
01:29:38.479 --> 01:29:41.479
but anything that would run on that
operating system it would run. And

1213
01:29:41.560 --> 01:29:44.840
it but it ran expert SDR software
as well, and you could do all

1214
01:29:44.880 --> 01:29:51.319
of the things inclusive. You could
live stream from your radio with your expert

1215
01:29:51.479 --> 01:29:56.239
SDR hf rig in the back,
you know, kind of in the screen

1216
01:29:56.359 --> 01:29:59.800
whatnot. And I'm like, this
is freaking with seven grand Okay, That's

1217
01:29:59.800 --> 01:30:00.680
why I sent it back to Gigabarts. I'm like, hey, this is

1218
01:30:00.760 --> 01:30:02.720
cool. I don't want to keep
it so you guys can have it back

1219
01:30:02.720 --> 01:30:06.359
and sorry, this is kind of
like that, but on a very more

1220
01:30:06.399 --> 01:30:12.960
affordable budget. I can see you
use case sitting out on field day with

1221
01:30:13.119 --> 01:30:18.239
this in your lab and doing FTA
and suiting the r around. And I

1222
01:30:18.439 --> 01:30:21.560
like, that's a great idea,
Frank, I might do that because I

1223
01:30:21.680 --> 01:30:24.760
might bring it. I might bring
it to field NA trying to do some

1224
01:30:24.880 --> 01:30:29.319
FT eight had a support your park
weekend we did at Lake Ray Roberts.

1225
01:30:29.439 --> 01:30:34.840
I was shocked how much you and
Mike did FTA, like just just y'all

1226
01:30:34.880 --> 01:30:41.119
were running it almost religiously. Mike
did some sideband, but he gave up

1227
01:30:41.159 --> 01:30:44.000
on it, and just like I'm
gonna run FTA, I ran. I.

1228
01:30:44.239 --> 01:30:46.479
I ended up with two hundred and
twenty eight FT eight contacts and only

1229
01:30:46.520 --> 01:30:49.880
like two hundred and thirteen sideband contacts, and I thought I had done more

1230
01:30:49.920 --> 01:30:54.079
sideband than FT eight when I when
I pulled my logs after I got home

1231
01:30:54.520 --> 01:30:58.000
from them, we were like,
wow, did a lot of data and

1232
01:30:58.359 --> 01:31:01.680
for me running sideband for the little
I did. Um, I wish you

1233
01:31:01.800 --> 01:31:06.399
did great on sideband. If our
if our noise floor would have been better,

1234
01:31:08.560 --> 01:31:12.119
the sideband would have been a word. Yeah, it would have done

1235
01:31:12.159 --> 01:31:15.439
better on The great thing about FT
eight is you got a bunch of RFI

1236
01:31:15.720 --> 01:31:17.800
who that care is just freaking you
know, get on FT eight so it

1237
01:31:17.880 --> 01:31:20.239
doesn't you don't have to listen to
it, so it's a mental thing.

1238
01:31:20.479 --> 01:31:24.560
But it's also low noise, so
you can you can cut through a lot

1239
01:31:24.600 --> 01:31:27.760
of that crap that's on the band
and still make contacts with FT eight.

1240
01:31:27.840 --> 01:31:31.319
So yeah, yeah, I enjoyed
it. I want to go to what

1241
01:31:31.439 --> 01:31:35.000
I really what Yes, what I
really want to do is the way that

1242
01:31:35.119 --> 01:31:41.039
six meters was up today. I
want to drive up to Umbda Grasslands and

1243
01:31:41.079 --> 01:31:44.319
set up a six meter station and
do an activation on six meter FT eight

1244
01:31:45.079 --> 01:31:51.640
because I'm like this might be fun. So yeah, but coo coo,

1245
01:31:51.680 --> 01:31:59.359
coo cool man. Yeah, m
hmm all good. Son SDR don that

1246
01:31:59.439 --> 01:32:01.800

the software. The company is Son SDR

1247
01:32:01.920 --> 01:32:06.560
thank you. Yes, yes,
Apache La Apache Labs is another company.

1248
01:32:06.920 --> 01:32:12.039
I've used both of those. They're
they're both good. I like the flex

1249
01:32:12.159 --> 01:32:18.800
better, but um there is Yeah, the Expert Electronic stuff is cool.

1250
01:32:18.880 --> 01:32:21.479
The Apatchie Labs I only use like
one or two times. I didn't get

1251
01:32:21.479 --> 01:32:28.640
as well versed with that one.
But um, yeah, all str stuff

1252
01:32:28.720 --> 01:32:32.600

cool. So oh good deal. All

1253
01:32:32.680 --> 01:32:36.119
right, guys, thank you for
joining tonight. Yeah again, this is

1254
01:32:36.319 --> 01:32:40.239
this is this is awesome. So
I'm gonna do an update. I'm gonna

1255
01:32:40.279 --> 01:32:43.359
I'm gonna send this information to a
shar and say here's what we did.

1256
01:32:43.439 --> 01:32:45.439
Here's a link to the video.
Please go watch it, and um,

1257
01:32:45.640 --> 01:32:47.960
please give me some pointers. And
when he replies back and say, oh

1258
01:32:48.039 --> 01:32:50.159
do this, do this this,
I'll make a video, make a short

1259
01:32:50.520 --> 01:32:54.359
eight or ten minute videos say here's
how we do this. Link back to

1260
01:32:54.479 --> 01:32:57.560
this video, and then I'll take
this thing out to the field, probably

1261
01:32:57.600 --> 01:32:59.319
at field day, Frank, but
I want to take it to Poda.

1262
01:32:59.399 --> 01:33:02.000
Also oh yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah. And um, but you're just

1263
01:33:02.119 --> 01:33:06.880
talking to use cases and I really
see this you using FTA and just poking

1264
01:33:06.960 --> 01:33:13.119
this on your lap as you're just
relaxing around the fire. Yes, but

1265
01:33:14.439 --> 01:33:21.119
also, forty watts on sideband for
POTO would be plenty, honestly, I

1266
01:33:21.199 --> 01:33:24.680
mean you're not going to do as
well as like one hundred watts. I

1267
01:33:24.720 --> 01:33:29.760
don't think one hundred fifty watts,
but um, it's better better than twenty.

1268
01:33:29.920 --> 01:33:30.800
Yeah, there's a lot of I
mean, there's a lot of guys

1269
01:33:30.840 --> 01:33:33.920
that do Poto activations on it.
I see seven or five at ten watts,

1270
01:33:34.119 --> 01:33:38.119
I've done that a couple of times. Or a or a g G

1271
01:33:38.760 --> 01:33:41.279
ninety at twenty watts, I've done
that once or twice as well. So

1272
01:33:41.479 --> 01:33:45.439
forty watts. Yeah, yeah,
totally totally cool. So um yes,

1273
01:33:46.399 --> 01:33:50.560
all good. Okay, make once
again those of you who just joined us.

1284
01:34:39.359 --> 01:34:43.399

know. I saw a shirt at hanvention

1285
01:34:44.840 --> 01:34:50.079

equals QRP, and I'm like, I

saw that. Guy's like, hey, I stopped. I was walking behind
