@w4www_raker FreeCAD is simultaneously amazing and infuriating. If you try it out, either use the realthunder fork (https://t.co/qho9Y638X8) or main branch >0.22dev. Prior versions are very hard to use if you expect to be able to do something basic like adjust a chamfer after another change.
@2ftg1@aprsfi The site is free to use and is a *huge* resource for the community. I guess if anyone could find a reason to complain it'd be ham radio operators, but I honestly can't imagine what the complaint would be.
@aprsfi From M0YNG, https://t.co/RaQFAovQVv admin: "I think the occasional update about an app like that is fine. That rule is to prevent a purely commercial organisation only ever posting adverts."
(I said you occasionally post about the paid app)
@w4www_raker@ChristianLempa 1994: Hired as tech support for imminent release of OS/2 Warp. Halfway through the first day of training, the entire room of 30+ contractors was sent to lunch and laid off. My first tech job lasted about 3 hours.
It looks like someone built their own homebrew version of a Heathkit SB-620. Half of me wants to power it up and see what happens; the other half wants to toss the guts in the parts bin and use the shell for my original idea: an SDR-based panadapter for my SB-102 station
Can anyone help identify the #AmateurRadio device in the upper left of this photo? It looks similar to the SB-620 Scanalyzer, but doesn't have enough knobs. The panel is also a different green to the rest of my Heathkit SB-series equipment.
@N5VMO_Pat The one on the bottom is a station monitor, but the top is a panadapter. I was trying to figure out if it was Heathkit, some other brand, or homebrew -- all signs point to homebrew made from Heathkit parts
@supercazzola Thanks! The display, knobs, and case all appear to be authentic Heathkit, so it's almost as if this person made their own panadaptor from most of the parts of a "real" one.
