  1. Since you can only vote in the state you reside in, then it should be fine to have a state standard.
  2. I have the UT-72 and it's not a great antenna and it didn't impress me. But it gets me way farther than an antenna in the truck. I run the MXTA26 with a mag mount on the cab of my Truck and think it does very well and I'm happy with it. Those are the only two I own.
  3. They use to have many many places to vote. Maybe a couple thousand people assigned to each location. At the end of the night it was easy to count all the votes and then add them to the larger totals. Now they insist on having central voting locations that deal with 10s of thousands of people which makes it hard to tally all the votes in one night. This is by design. Central planning and having things done from one area. One size fits all is the govt way. Much better to have many small locations who can count all the votes before midnight. If there is an error it's is a small error instead of a catastrophic error with huge consequences. Small countries can have the results before midnight and yet state with multitudes less population need a week or two to tally the results. We no longer have election day, we have election season. This needs to be trimmed down a lot. Maybe Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon and then election day. More than enough time to have everyone cast their vote. Mail in voting should be limited to people overseas that can't be present or people in the states with valid excuses. The machines were suppose to make it easy and with quick results. Now the machines make it complicated and the counting takes substantially longer than in yesteryear when we did it by hand.
  4. Please be me. Please be me.
  5. Got the bugout bag of radios always ready along with a small repeater system.
  6. Some states say they won't know the results for 10 to 13 days. You have plenty of time.
  7. Says it right there.
  8. Did you try replacing the GFCI outlet? They do go bad.
  9. Kentucky Touch Screen Repeatedly Won’t Allow Voter To Select Trump – Election Officials Deny Malfunction — Then 4 Hours Later Admit Issue With Ballot Marking Device The debunking has been debunked. And even if it couldn't be reproduced you can see it on the video. At no time did he touch any other pad. So how did the one below get activated?
  10. Whoever might that be?
  11. I've always read it as access request are disabled.
  12. The best and most practical way to have the power generator follow the AC cycle is to run it through a synchronized inverter. That way whatever you throw at the inverter is aligned perfectly with the grid.
  13. Ya, I live in and work in faraday cages. My shop is a metal building and my house has aluminum siding. Walking into either and all signals fade. Both house and shop have cell phone boosters so I can have a cell signal. In the shop the signal is better than it is outside. It's not that way at my house.
  14. I can see the planes. I'm just shocked at how it's limited. The 21 mile repeater is in the direction of the window. The 17 mile repeater is on the opposite side of the building. The other thing I was shocked about is it's AM and not FM. I had to turn the AM option on my radio for those frequencies to show up.
  15. I've programmed my TD-H3 radio to listen in on the nearby airport. Can be interesting at times. Currently at my house, behind the small hill it's just static. If I put it on my base antenna it's perfect. I can hear the tower and all the airplanes responding. My shop is 1/2 mile from the airport and I'm in a metal building. I keep the radio in the window using a Nagoya 771G antenna and I can hear the tower and some of the planes. Mostly the planes are just hash and not understandable. Is getting an antenna tuned to 120MHz really going to do anything for my reception? It would be in the same place, in the window. I keep it there and I can hear the 3 repeaters I use (7, 17, 21 miles away). I find it very interesting being 1/2 mile away from the airport and not able to hear the airplanes where I can hear them at my house which is another 2 miles away.
  16. LI East End repeater in NY on 575 announces by voice on the 35 after and on the hour it sometimes gives weather. It's a pay to play repeater and I only hear it when the tropospheric ducting is just right. But I hear it often enough to know it does voice and CW for ID.
  17. My 5 watt HT transmitting on 467MHz will turn on my wife's headlamp she uses to walk the dog at night. It has turned on my stove, thankfully it is a 2 step process to activate any burner. My 25 watt mobile radio on 467MHz will activate my neighbors motion detector light. In my shop, again at 467MHz it will activate my Fein Dust Extractor which has a tool activated port. None of this happens on 462MHz. My buddy has a Kenwood HT and when he's transmitting near his garage flat screen it freezes the picture. When he unkeys it resumes.

  19. It's the only circus we have.
  20. There's a few people on here that think because they can get many fars that everyone should be able to do the same
  21. They say you can program by USB-c. I haven't had any success doing it and I bought the Kenwood plug/adapter. I've had no issues with programming the radio using that setup. There is a USB port on the side along with the Kenwood outlet. The one on the bottom is to charge the battery. I just use the Tidradio CPS to program my H3 radios along with the Odmaster. I've also upgraded to 140625 and now 140702 firmware using their IAP app. The firmware before 140625 had an issue with blanking out repeater signals for about 2 seconds on the 1st part of the receive after unkeying.
  22. Yer one of those people.....
  23. Well it certainly is possible
  24. I saw it on the internet. It must be true.
  25. Better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
