So for the longest time I thought that the Boulder BrandMeister repeater had a problem because I was seeing full-strength unmodulated-FM-carrier style interference on the output frequency of 445.050 MHz. But I did a little foxhunting 🦊 and determined the noise was coming from … inside my house. 🏠 Spooky! 👻
After more than a week of installation, our house finally has a new roof. It’s 24-gauge metal from Premium Panels and installed by Aspen Contracting. Here’s hoping it lasts a very long time.
The next and final step is to reinstall the solar panels.
I recently purchased a Connect Systems CS800D mobile dual-band 2m/70cm FM/DMR radio and installed it in a 2011 Nissan Leaf. Here are my initial impressions and experience thus far.
It’s a bird… it’s a… moth.
Last Friday I came home to a gas leak 1 block away. They said it was a 3 or 4 inch line that was cut and it took Xcel a long time to locate it. There was a lot of standing around hoping that things didn’t blow up (I’m glad they didn’t). They also shut down traffic on a major road during rush hour. Lots of vehicles were trying to cut through our neighborhood without realizing that the only other way out was through the cordoned-off area.
That’s funny, I didn’t know temperatures showed up on radar.
Do they mean a different kind of radar? Perhaps Jonathan Banks can tell us.
