Re: ADS-B
I'd like to thank Scott for dragging me down THIS rabbit hole. He's a bad man. First, it was "SDR on the Cheap." Sure, cheap. After buying multiple dongles, then an Airspry, then a used laptop to run it all, then the Fastlane version of DSDPlus, then a second SDR set up for traveling, it sure doesn'...

Re: Worth moving antenna to attic?
No radio project is complete until you've whacked your head at least once, cut both hands trying to blindly run a cable, and had to run to some store to get a part or tool you never thought you'd need. I managed to fish a cable up through the wall. I banged my head a couple times, but my mini discon...

Re: FCC Searching for licenses
I actually meant the wildcard feature on the FCC license site. If you don't know the precise name of the company, put in a partial name and it will come up with everything that's close and some things that aren't. It's how I found all of the licenses for a couple of systems. Wildcard is good I progr...

Re: FCC Searching for licenses
That works well, although at times it can be slow. There are more reports available at the "Table of Contents" in the upper left hand corner. Sometimes I'll search by name using the wildcard feature. It's surprising what comes up from time to time. I use this address. https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/Gener...

8/19 DX
Driving home tonight, I picked up the Worcester P25 trunk in Randolph and Stoughton. Very unusual to receive that this far away from Worcester.

Re: FCC Searching for licenses
The FCC database is being weird again. Using this website works, but the others listed here just give me a security protocol violation message.
I should say, it sort of works, but returns no results.
Maybe I've been bad or something.

Re: Update Issues
Good work. I plan to continue as I have time hitting random Wiki pages and checking on external links. Websites come and go with some regularity, even government ones. So, as with frequency information, it makes sense to reconfirm them from time to time. All 2,009 wiki pages have been viewed and tho...

Re: Update Issues
I took a look at it, but I don't think I changed anything. At least not on purpose. On the VT and RI military pages, I removed the formatting characters that were causing issues, but nothing else. I've correcting the external links that returned 404 messages when I can find updated pages. Those aren...

Re: Update Issues
I figured it out after a bit. That message applies to new/updated passwords only. I guess it will nag me to do something, but allow me to just click through with the old one. Kind of weird, but not a problem.

The Wiki now seems to require a ten character password. Can that be changed or do we need new passwords?

Re: Idea - wiki page with common frequency errors
I have found that even the newer SDR dongles need some adjustment based on what band you're trying to listen to. Airspy is the only hardware that is always spot on. On my mobile set up, I always "calibrate" the control dongle first on a known system. Once that's done, I'll adjust the voice dongle. S...

Re: FCC Searching for licenses
The FCC database goes off line with annoying regularity. That aside, thanks for those links. It's much easier now to find new frequencies than it was in the pre Internet days. I remember going to the Customs House and then Quincy to search the Microfiche files for new licenses back in the 1980s and ...

Re: NEAR-Fest is not Optional!!! May 3&4 2019
I'll be up with a friend Friday. We plan to leave as early as possible in the morning, but arrival time will depend on Boston traffic. We'll be there most of the day, as long as my friend isn't too whiny. Can't make Saturday. I keep asking for you at the GEMOTO tent, but you never seem to be around.

A really big crowd, but there always seems to be. Of course it's mid winter and there isn't a lot else to do. I actually spent more time on a phone call with a friend than I did wandering around the the tables. I did notice a good deal of not all that old commercial gear, especially Motorola. Nothin...

Re: Marlborough Flea next Saturday 2/16/18
I got there around 10:00 AM. Parking lot was crowded, as it always is. Seems like there were more sellers this year than the last time I went. I ended up getting a Dell 14" flat screen monitor for $2.00. I was actually looking for something smaller, but for that price I figured that if it didn't wor...
