Good morning. Happy thanksgiving kb7reo. Hey Glenn, Happy late Thanksgiving to you. Also hope that you helped you today. Hang around the house and probably get some decorations and things like that. Try to wrap up some gift giving type thing. Yeah so do I have not much of anything. I'm gonna try to work with DX if I can too. Okay I just got done at the gym and which was actually pretty dead for a change. Get people sleeping in, got my jeep washed and head to the house. I got a mess with that Nano VNA I got. That's about it. Do some odds of ends how are the conditions the on.

Sony, Jeff. I've been on two days. I haven't even checked it lately either, so I don't know. I think. Are we supposed to have another CME occurrence here soon? Yeah, I don't. I'm buying bad on that stuff too. I have no idea. Some of my regular scheduled nets were canceled. They decided to do it for the holiday. And tomorrow is. I normally get on the Nevada statewide net in the morning. That'll go as normal. Yeah. So. Yeah, just be kind of quiet. Otherwise.

Than whatever else is going on this weekend. Okay yeah I was having a problem with my the Raspberry PI that I used to do dstar it kept crashing on me it's one of these ones with that separate transmitter module or GX module that connected with a USB cable I forgot TV something whatever anyway it would just work for a while then I then I'd be listening to people I started getting what sounded like packet loss which is basically dropouts was really I guess it would anyways it was just dropouts and then it was just completely all seize up and then it would just throw out a carrier an analog RF carrier and I have to reset it I was like crap so I'm messing with it thinking I got to re blow the SD card or something I got corrupted and just for the hell that I thought you know troubleshooting 101 if something doesn't act if something doesn't work right check the DCC rail and.

I put a scope on the output or tap off point on one of these wall warts I had for the 5 volts and bigger than shit. It had all kinds of noise on the D.C. and I threw out the wall wart, plugged in a new one, and it's been Fox solid ever since. It's funny how that stuff is, you know, I bought a Zoom Spot. Going to take that back to North Carolina. Not doing that. I just took the RFinder, which, by the way, I'm on right now, and I had all kinds of packet issues with it. You know, you log on to the, to the firmware, you know, use the WI fi and to other things and we're showing like huge error rates everywhere.

I didn't know what to do I tried everything moved the thing around you know rebooted it so on and what turned out to be with the router itself shirt in the house and I just ended up rebooting the router and it's been clean ever since so weird stuff. Yeah I've had some real weird stuff in my network here down in just have to go through and just turn everything off and back on right but yeah over the years I've found out that these cheap wall warts that you get with a device or sometimes you get on Amazon nothing but pain I had a problem years ago on 80 meters and it was over the holidays so I thought it was just the neighbors bicycle lights and stuff like that noising up the van which happened to me around this time of the year anyways long story short it ended up being a bad wall wart in my house and the way I figured it out is I just.

I'm just gonna. I'm gonna. I'm gonna go the niggular option. So I put my. My radio on a battery, and I hit the mains in the house. And the noise just went from, like, you know, 10 over nine to, like, S5. I'm like, all right. So I just went methodically through it and turned on a breaker at a time until I found the breaker that was the. The culprit. And I took an old AM transistor radio and walked around the house in that area where that breaker was, and I went for max noise. And I found the wall work. You get a little bit of. Audio distortion, a little bit there here and there. I got POC radio. Now let me swear I was on Red Mountain on my high post. Now, this will be better.

Well, I mean, it was clean most of the time. And then it had sounded like garble, audio garble, like you're going through. I guess they like backup loss or whatever it was. But anyway, no, it was clean most of the time. It's hard to tell, but. Yeah, you're good there. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah, even some of these USB charging ports, you know, end up putting jokes on some of the lines as well. So anyway, most of the time it works good. But you never know. You know, the most luck I've had with wall warts, or whatever you want to call them, is made by a company called Anchor A N K E R. And they're a little more expensive than.

You know, whatever generic things get. But they're, I mean, they're not like, like double or triple the price, but they're a little bit more. And I found out I've had a lot better luck with those guys and reliability and even, even the cables they sell, you know, the USB cables, much more rigid, are much more higher quality, and they don't break as easily. You know, they're certified for higher speeds. As, you know, with USDC anymore, there's so many different protocols and currents of things can source out and things of that nature. So I've kind of relied on those. All right, well, anyway, hopefully my audio has been good.

Into angel all along. I ended up buying the. The high battery pack for this radio had such huge difference. The other one came with your finder. It would, you know, you get low voltage and it cut off, stop transmitting. I couldn't carry on a fusel at all. But this thing's been great. Well, yeah, had it on for like several days. I'm still at 40 on it, so I'm happy with that anyway. And much else. Just sent the daughter out to go get coffee. TB7REO okay, I'm deploying the driveway. Fellow373 thanks for the shout. And you know, you sound good. We've done a lot of things on angel that reduce that. That saddle noise. Not all the way gone, but it's a lot better. And we're still working on something. Sounds good. The audio is good. Deviation is great.

So. Yeah, happy should be happy with it. And I'll talk to you later. Yeah, you come think of it. Yeah, I haven't heard much noise on that Angel Peak machine, so. Yeah, it's been good. 57 REO considered.

Okay. I was trying to get rid of the really, really tiny audio coming from All Star, and I enabled the emphasis that thought was on the transmit side, which ends. Or on the receive side was going to be in a transmit side. That's why. That's why I sounded kind of basic. I'm trying to figure out why things are coming in really tinny from off there for some bloody reason. Okay. Anyways, I didn't catch the name of the other guy, but, yeah, welcome, ham radio.

You're about the same as everybody else on here. Ken, you're up there, too. So, yeah, everybody's coming in. And yeah, if you, you know, that timing, that's exactly, exactly what you got to do, depending on how you connect it to your.

KM12. Yeah, I agree, but we. I still keep our 420 link radios up in the mountain.

Back up every now and again. Nothing in Milwaukee or we lose connection or microwave link goes down. And I switched over to our 420 network or radios which maintains the connectivity. But as you know, when you got multi hops like we've got, you know, by the time you get repeater A to repeater D, you've got all these pickup times. So. And of course degradation of audio quality. So yeah, All Star is definitely prefer it if it's things are up most of the time it is okay. Anyways, take care. Excellent. Just one last job. I had a 2 meter repeater and I had a 440 repeater and I had a 220 megahertz. That was my backbone link to the house. And I had A s car of 73 30.

Three port controllers. So I had the 2 meter, the 440 and the 220 backbone. Nothing interfered with anything. And back to the house which had the back in those days. Echo Inc. Irlp.
