That looks pretty neat, and the software seems simple, so I'd bet there isn't exactly rocket science to the USB interface. If you manage to get ahold of the original software a session with USBPcap could probably be quite interesting. If you have a Linux box handy, I'd be interested in seeing what it looks like from the perspective of `lsusb -v`

Shout out to James from Wireless Devices Taiwan for hooking me up with the software for this thing He sent some Google drive links and a sales pitch for their new version of this hardware  but I’ll try it out and see what happens.

Hello! New ham here after spending years being interested in radio but for some reason too afraid to actually get a license. Finally did, got my general and picked up an Icom IC-705 to take out back and bikepacking and play around with 5W out in the woods. Also got a little specialty receiver made for picking up whistlers and other VLF stuff

Would it be overly petty if me to get my HAM license to yell at the guy that cut me off and nearly wrecked me? He had his handle on a magnet/sticker on his car.

So I kind of let my technician's license expire, but I have an opportunity to re-up that and take a test this weekend. Is this study guide a good resource to prepare for that, or is there anything else you all would recommend I review? I want to get back into ham, just life got into the way the first time around

When I first started my current job, I and another guy were put out into some barracks until they could get office space set up for us. We didn't have much to do. He spent the entire time taking practice tests, over and over, for weeks. He got to where he could recognize questions based on the shape of the text or diagram features, and could pick the right answer, also based on shape. One of his goals in this exercise was to never read anything, and he never did. He got his license the next week.

ickna posted:Just look up his info in the FCC database and send him a bag of dog poo I've never heard of anyone getting harassed via their FCC registration info, but callsign license plates seem like you're testing fate. I guess your average dickhead on the street doesn't know that a callsign-formatted license plate = you can look up this guy's home address online, but it's a chance I prefer not to take; in this case, the pissed-off guy is driving around close to where I live, instead of piloting a Rascal in Florida. I do still put my real home address in the database, though.

shouldn't matter for sstv beyond just simple filtering/out of bandpass issues, SSTV itself is an FM thing and then you've got more FM on the carrier

I think maybe HRCC has a WiresX room/reflector/whatever they call it, but that's legit the only time I've seen it.

Pro tip for anyone who might buy a FT3DR, when trying to use the SD card memory and backup functions, you have to actually press "OK" on the screen, not use the DISP button which serves as "enter/OK" in every other context in the radio menus. I fought with this thing and 10 different micro SD cards before figuring it out.

He has a web site that processes text files that he gets from somewhere else (publicly available on radioid.net) into different text files and takes payments for it, probably through a third party. This guy has nothing to do with the DMR infrastructure itself. He's just there for the bad with computers old men who can't figure out how to parse the radioid.net csv into whatever their programming software needs. The poster doesn't understand this because they are new at DMR, but that's the reality of the situation.

It's a reasonable assumption. But not exactly groundbreaking information. Call signs are public. Lots of people have their callsign associated with an email address in a lot of places. The only real issue is for people who reuse passwords.

Well yeah, I wouldn't worry about the callsign on its own, and you are totally right that you shouldn't reuse passwords. It's just that lots and lots of people do, even people who know better. The personal info isn't a problem on its own, it's just that it gives you more ways to cross reference it with other databases of info. Like, even a hashed password where they didn't use a salt is a problem because you can use rainbow tables against it. That's why people in the reddit thread are saying whatever password you used there is now off the table and you should change it everywhere (even though you shouldn't have reused it in the first place).

This is 100% the demographic most likely to reuse passwords, but it sounds like the site admin is assigning immutable passwords on account creation... that's honestly not a bad idea for said demographic. It's also the demographic that's most susceptible to scammers, though.

FT3DR first thoughts: OF COURSE there's a FT5DR announced now, not even a week after getting the radio. Oh well, the 3DR isn't appreciably different and was cheaper. Side note - lots of people complaining about the FT3DR on the internet recommend getting the Kenwood TH-D74A over it. I took a look at them out of curiosity and well, more radios more better. Holy gently caress an open box radio is EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY loving DOLLARS I'd expect it to be a better radio. No thank you. APRS SMSGTE messaging is fun but I can't get the registration #mynumber command to work - I'll be in a different area tonight and may try through a different gateway. YSF2DMR/P25/NXDN with Pi-Star opens up a lot of possibilities though there are a handful of Fusion repeaters around me already. After learning the intricacies of the UI things are pretty easy to navigate now. FT3D Whiz for programming to an SD card is simple and intuitive after learning the touch press OK vs DISP enter quirk.
