I keep having to move the thing around, remove files and cater to the needs of the host, rather than the host cater to me.
I apologize in advance if certain links don't work on...
And for what purpose? Personally, I think it should have stopped at 800 MHz Analog Trunked. EVERYONE has the right to hear what the police are doing on their radio. Who is going to police the police? <-- That's rather timely, no?
Even with all these whiz-bang digitally encrypted systems, the...
Made this last weekend from a few small purchases at Lowe's and parts in the bin.

The radio is a technological wonder... given that, AM, and especially AM in the FCC 40 Citizen's band, is not its intended forte.
I have spent countless hours and $$$ figuring out that while "(Insert big-dollar whiz-bang ham radio make and model here) sure LOOKS good," they fail to perform...
I do not have any experience with Eaton AFCI breakers and nuisance tripping.
The theory of an AFCI seems sound to me. Here's a funny story.
When I go into thrift shops, I buy any bathroom appliance (curling iron, hair dryer, etc) that is priced at a buck and has the cheap GFCI type power cord...
