First day out on the motorbike for ages. Took the opportunity on the way back to activate #pota GB-2083.

Unfortunately I didn’t manage to get the 10 I needed. The rain caught up with me and I got the final proof I need a new KX2 battery. Still, great fun and awesome scenery!

Gear: #triumph Tiger 1200 XCA, #elecraft #kx2, #kxusbc2 USB-C charger, AX1, AX1 antenna mount, G7UFO Turret Mic.

Thanks to @qrper for the plug 🥁 for Manuel @hb9dqm 's KXUSBC2 #kx2 charger on the #hamradioworkbench podcast.

The whole episode is worth a watch as Lynn KU7Q who produces the CTR2 controllers is also a guest.

Both are available on my shop alongside mics for #elecraft, #qrplabs and load of other radios.

Thought I'd check out https://github.com/aethersdr/AetherSDR (#flexradio client for #linux and #macos).

Since I'd just added a NVME drive alongside FDE to my #clockworkpi #uconsole, I installed it on there.

Aside from the geekyness of the uConsole stuff #AetherSDR an impressively featured piece of software.

I have too much to do this weekend dispatching orders to build this…

I should probably watch the movie!

Very cool - FlexRadio 800 series (and Aurora) now support installing and running the #freedv waveform on-device.

https://github.com/drowe67/freedv-gui/blob/master/src/integrations/flex/README.md

I never expected to be able to run a container directly on my #flexradio. Doesn't look like Marcus #smartsdr supports this yet but can't imagine it'll be far behind.
