1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I can't remember what frequency they're on, but I know someone who does

We've always just type in whatever frequency we're using at that moment and rolled with it

 

CHIRP can change a lot more than that, including transmitting/receiving which like Kira said, might be soft locked.

 

I'll have to look into it

 

Normally the first number of channels are your standard channels to talk on, after which the rest are programmed for whatever you want/need.

Had to throw it on the charger for a sec, but here -

Got a ton of channels programmed for Sheriff's Dept and more in another county (where I used to live) but weather and all can still be heard.

 

I have the frequency for the local department but never turn to it

 

I must be getting old, one of the ads on the podcast I was listening to was for slip on Sketchers shoes

"We know one of your biggest pet peeves - having to bend down, shove your foot in a shoe and then struggle to tie a knot"

jokes on them though, that's the easy part - the hard part is getting my socks on

 

Yeah I don't really tune into stuff, heck I haven't wheeled in a minute so I haven't had to use my radio.

But CHIRP allowed me to easily program over a hundred channels, some with security others without, and more.

You can even make channels 'listen only' and more.

Teaching Theo his ABC's has never been so fun and engaging all the way from A to Z!

 

Sheeeit I was just messing around with my baofeng last week trying to see if I could get a little better reception by build a rat tail (or tiger tail) but it only made things worse. I've been really tempted to buy a new radio and up my game to HAM instead of just the GMRS. I picked up a GM15 Pro last year because we were required to have gmrs for the Summit Tour trip and I've been wanting to get a good exterior mounted antenna at the very least

 

I'd go GX550 over the LC but I'd buy a late 200 series over either.

 

Speaking of, since you mentioned it the other day I jumped into messing with spreadsheets after years avoiding them and now I have a bunch started for projects haha.
Using Libre Calc which is surprisingly not bad. Maybe because I don't have much to compare to besides my memories of Numbers and Excel, but hey so far so good.

 

Might take us a few times

 

The recruiter probably nibbled on the crayon before the test even got started so I think this guy deserves a second chance

 

Way to be a blue falcon

Sure your old recruiter appreciates that
