    Current rank?

    Maybe I am looking in the wrong places or it never existed or it vanished and I am senile anyway but wasn't there a list or key type chart that showed each members rank such as tribal elder and how many posts to make to get to the next rank name?

    Yes, I posted it somewhere quite a while ago. I'll grab another copy from the cfg panel and post it here in a few minutes.

    Here is the chart:

    QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?

    Thanks so much for posting it but I could have sworn it once had an icon button on the toolbar

    I note some of our 'busiest' members haven't been here in a while. I also sadly note that 3 on our list are no longer with us.

    I'll try to contribute more tech-related stuff as I complete various projects and document them. One thing I'm trying to accomplish at the moment is to get a couple of Optoelectronics Optocom receivers to talk to my new copy of ScanStar's Spectrum Commander IX. These are essentially a RadShack Pro-2042 scanner plus OS535 interface in a black box; they have discriminator outputs and multiple CI-V interfaces on the rear panels. Thoughts are to connect 2ea IC-R7000s to the Optocoms, letting the Icoms run in "handoff mode" while the Optocoms - via SC-IX and DSDecode - track our various trunking systems.

    The R7000 - dated though it may be - is still a MUCH better analog receiver than any of the R/S-Uniden scanners I have. With discriminator taps and DSDecode doing the D/A conversion, they'll make an effective platform for NXDN, DMR and MotoTrbo monitoring. IF (gigantic IF) I can get the Optocoms and Spectrum Commander to work together.

    I should have stopped at Coconut King.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    I don't know. You seem to be navigating that beer in your avatar pretty darn well!

    When I hit Master Navigator I started using WWII pilots and VFR navigation tools as avatars.

    Good grief Charles, you're something else! What I don't know. (;->) Speaking of WW2 pilots, have you noticed the movies about The Tuskegee Airmen aka Redtails have found their way to TV? I have several with GREAT dogfight scenes. It's damn well about time those brave men considered expendable sent on the most dangerous missions where they proved their mettle finally got the honor and recognition well deserved both by the military and the media!

    Avatars are one thing, using military radio equipment is quite another and quite a treat. I wonder if The Military Radio Net is still active. The closest I came was restoring a couple of R390 receivers using the thick as a NY Telephone directory service manual. One went into climate controlled storage, and using one on an AM Gangsta station all broadcast from mic to antenna except for the receiver and a Johnson Valiant I modified to use line level audio from the DA direct to the modulators. The rest of the all broadcast was 3 1KW AM transmitters tuned for 160M giving a total of 6 crystal controlled frequencies. Now what was that comment about doing AM Gangsta shit again? (;->)

    Dennis Starks, KB0SFP runs daily milsurp equipment nets and has several Groups.io groups dedicated to the various lines of hardware including manpack setups. I met Dennis at Dayton once and bought two of four pieces from a Cubic Kilowatt from him. The complete, working Kilowatt is in a basement rack. It doesn't operate AM but another Cubic of that vintage (which is also mounted in the rack) will transmit AME.
