@whitequark @azonenberg @niconiconi I have seen something like this in commercial radio gear, which may have great baseline performance and build, but have very mid he support for digital waveform compared to open source software implementations. That said, it is reflected in pricing, e.g: $900 for consumer hw + OSS; $3000 for commercial hw; $30k for military hw.

I can highly recommend getting a ferrule crimper for connecting wires to these kinds of terminals.

@va3db @n8dmt in theory we are empowered (in the US at least) to identify emissions which impact us and work with the offender, but I wonder if that is a productive use of time. We are doing the FCC's job, and they should pay us for that.

David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)

We have released 1.0 of the #CHERIoT specification! The architecture has been unchanged for almost a year and has been implemented in two open-source cores. We (SCI) are getting back our first CHERIoT silicon from the fab soon and will be moving to mass production net year (I can't talk about what other people are doing with CHERIoT).

@va3db @n8dmt FWIW, I have had good RF experiences with the Samlex units made for radios, and MeanWell modular units for use inside project boxes.

@ftg No. This will eventually fail and fall off, probably while driving down the highway.

@mossmann very cool: measuring < 0.01 Hz changes in an 60 kHz signal from Colorado while flying in a passenger jet is impressive.

@MW1CFN Thanks, some great info there!

@K4NE It's the Andonstar AD246S-M, which was recommended to me by another microwaver. Has HDMI out, and a smaller installed screen, which is probably right for me.

@MW1CFN yes, indeed, it's on my list of things to try. A couple of years ago I noticed a station in NZ was able to copy some very weak signals from me and it turned out they were using a Wellbrook receiving loop. By the time I wanted to then buy one, they went out of business and I just missed their final sale. I do need to be able to transmit, so not quite the end of the world.

Loops seem to be a reasonable option for vehicle mounted HF as well. They may look ungainly but so does everything if you want to cover 3-30 MHz.

I finally bought a USB microscope and wow does it help with reverse engineering RF circuits. Quite an interesting & surreal world down there, too. This is from a 60 GHz wireless backhaul device. The RF wavelength is about 4.5mm.

@MW1CFN you have an amazingly quiet QTH! I get S9 noise on many HF bands and I'm often shocked to see ~zero noise when portable. Could be I need better grounding & setup, too.

@andersonc0d3 congrats! Good to see bugfixes with the reporting.
