kc9sio: N6HKH, I just received an email from KC8YQL. He had a fiber optic line that just got cut. That's all he's told me so far.
kc9sio: KC8YQL sent you, and I both an email regarding it.
KG5SLG: Getting ever other word on xrf002a not understanding anything
KG5SLG: Hearing Bill just fine on XRF002a
KG5SLG: Mike not so fine
K6KD: I hear all stations fine on several reflectors. Likely internet issue.
VA3TWT: Mike sounds fine here in Ontario Canada on XRF002A.
KG5SLG: I think its a path issue going to switch to another reflector
N0RSR: I'm not seeing any losses or bit errors since the top of the hour on XRF002A, you're sounding good here in Casa Grande, AZ
N0RSR: 4% loss on Frank in last transmission
k6jm: Hotspot link to XRF002A is excellent. But our local D-Star repeater is also linked to XRF002A and it did not hear the net for about the first 1ß minutes. However, all ok now.
K6FW: Copy net control broken and Frank fine on XRF002A
N4DLW: MIKE, YOU SOUND MUCH BETTER THAN LAST COUPLE WEEKS! I'M ON xrf555a.
K6FW: Copy K6JM fine
N0RSR: www.f4fxl.org/ref-xrf-dcs-xlx-whats-the-difference/
N6HKH: Thanks for the reports.
KG5SLG: I just switched to XRF555 and mike is still breaking up hearing everyone just fine expect mike. audio still clipping
k6jm: John - K6KD - thanks for the correction regarding XLX reflector software being open source.
K6KD: You're welcome, Jim
N0RSR: You may find a 3d printable case on Thingiverse
N0RSR: www.thingiverse.com/search?q=mmdvm&dwh=395c81e5340fed6
n5vrp: Latency issues with an ISP, etc.
n5vrp: No problem on XRF555 A other than internet loss.
n5vrp: low audio
N0RSR: www.speedtest.net/
kc9sio: I have been on XRF002 A the entire time.
k6jm: Mike-Your Nomadic travels reminds me of my son bicycling through Europe in 1996, carried a tiny HP DOS handheld computer & phone modem with alligator clips to phone wires. He'd meet cyclists who invited him to stay, some let him clip onto their phonewires
KK6MYS: my hotspot was on xrf310 and did not get most of the RT audio. If you have the RT recorded please contact Mike or I so I can post the podcast tomorrow.
N6HKH: K6JM
N6HKH: Anyone recording this net and willing to share it for the podcast, please let me know via email: N6HKH@me.com
k6jm: Yeah, but Worcester MA is pronounced by locals as Wooster and all other pronunciations are just wrong.... OTOH, a town in Iowa is spelled Navada and they pronounce it Nah-VAY-dah, so that is what is correct there. Go figure.
k6jm: N0SRS, your town Casa Grande, AZ has a nice article in NYT and tries to explain why it is pronounced Casa Grand. www.nytimes.com/2011/10/14/us/in-casa-grande-rival-pronunciations.html
N0RSR: Thanks for having me, satellite company is now ViaSat, but was previously Wildblue and Excede
N0RSR: youtu.be/byc9Fs5HBdQ
N0RSR: Not that we're proud of the video, but it's mostly factual
kc9sio: The ZumSpot USB Stick is listed on the Radio/Modem Type in the Configuration on Pi-Star.
k6jm: To mix KC8YQL's reference to the new Tesla Model 3 and Ham Radio -- the Model 3's have become quite popular here in California, but I have not talked to any Hams with one. Anyone know how much RF noise is present in this particular electric vehicle?
N6HKH: KC9SIO: Thanks, Steve.
N0RSR: Also, have VOIP over the same satellite service
k6jm: N0RSR - thanks for posting that video. Fun to watch.
n5vrp: I know a ham with a Tesla S with ham gear. Runs the ham gear off of a AGM battery. I talk to
n5vrp: him all the time when he is mobile. He reports no interference problems and I have heard none.
n5vrp: 50w UHF full duplex system
N0RSR: KC8YQL mentions a good history/experience reference, we came to AZ @10 years ago and as I said on the net first experience with satellite was near atrocious, but last 5 years it's improved 400-500 percent
kc9sio: Yep, no problem Mike.
N0RSR: signing off, thank you folks, talk to you next week
n5vrp: he is a doctor with ee degree. have more next week.
kc9sio: What was that about a separate battery with he Tesla Model 3?
kc9sio: KC8YQL sent you, and I both an email regarding it.
