  1. Yep, using the same playbook again.

    I contacted him for you. We'll see what happens.
  3. Probably to make sure the president doesn't get credit for quelling the riots.
  4. if you put your phone on airplane mode will the cell tower be able to ping your phone Yes, a cell tower can still ping a phone even when it's in airplane mode. Airplane mode primarily disables cellular radio for calls, texts, and data, but it doesn't stop the phone from periodically checking in with nearby networks. This "pinging" can still allow for tracking or monitoring. Here's why: Airplane mode is a phone setting, not a network setting: Airplane mode affects the phone's ability to communicate, but it doesn't prevent the network from detecting the phone. Periodic pings: Even in airplane mode, the phone may still periodically check in with cell towers to maintain its registration with the network. GPS and location services: Airplane mode doesn't turn off GPS, which can still be used for tracking. Therefore, while airplane mode can help prevent direct calls, texts, and data usage, it's not a foolproof method to avoid being tracked or monitored by networks.
  5. Having 2 is nice. You can have one charging while using the other. Swap out when it dies. My 100Ah setup will eventually be a 48 volt system.
  6. If I need battery power I have four 100Ah 12v LiFePO4 batteries. They really hold a charge well. Been at full charge for a couple of months now and basically no depletion. So it's a great standby backup for me. Eventually one or more will get hooked up to my repeater. I also have ten 100 watt solar panels and a 40 amp solar charger that can be deployed at anytime. Again, eventually that'll go up in my backyard and supplement my household.
  7. Surprised it wouldn't put out full wattage. Those packs can put out some good amperage.
  8. It's just a ping. Sends out the phone ID, ratting you out. Yes it would make it harder, but not impossible. Best option is to leave your phone. And while an HT is an open communication it doesn't ID itself or give it's position away easily. You can communicate discretely while not technically legal it gives an alibi.
  9. That might work. Strong signals can leak through those bags. If the cops are operating a Stingray machine it might be close enough to ping the phone in the bag.
  10. Off is not off with a cell phone. It's still pinging unless the battery is removed.
  11. Lithium Ion batteries can be very volatile even with protection systems. Internal shorts can happen with minor damage to the battery and overheat them. Fun is. Glad you weren't hurt.
  12. If it didn't it's burst into flames the 1st time you charged it. They are very prone to thermal run away if unprotected.
  13. Most LiFePO4 batteries can be drawn down completely without harm. The BMS will protect them from discharging too far. You might have to coax the battery to come back to life if the BMS turns it off for low voltage though. Discharging a LiFePO4 fully does reduce it overall life. But it is still going to substantially outlive a lead acid battery by 1000s of cycles.
  14. My KG1000+ draws 8.7 amps according to my digital clamp meter. I was surprised it was lower than 10 amps.
  15. That would be a full violation of the eff sea seas rules/regulations. I can't imagine those breaking the law would decide to use these frequencies illegally and for illicit purposes. They should have their licenses takes away. As soon as you here them ID themselves you should write it down and report them. /S
