Panels are due tomorrow (unless UPS have a transporter that isn’t happening). In the meantime I’ve put together and installed a board for my #kx2.

Have been putting a TeensyMaestro kit together for someone and this is a good as an excuse as any to āš”ļøsome things!

I was going to label the case above/below the buttons but the buttons themselves came out so well!

Just added the new Lynovation CTR2-Quad to my store https://shop.g7ufo.radio/s/d1fd1a if you're looking for to pick one of these up. I build and ship these from the UK.

This can act as a midi controller so any SDR software which accepts midi can be used with the CTR2-Uno, Duo or Quad, communicating via USB or Bluetooth. #icom #yaesu #kenwood #elecraft

If you have a #flexradio it can alternatively connect to the radio directly via WiFi.

Guess who got a UV Laser?āš”ļø

Will be using it to replace the multi-filament I use for labels/branding on cases.

Already have a 'queue' of interest from my partner and our daughters for 'non-ham' stuff, if that even exists...

Happened to notice that the latest #elecraft #kh1 firmware includes FT8 support for SOTAmat https://sotamat.com - which now supports the KH1.

This is great timing as I’ve spent some time this evening finally designing the case for my SOTAcat PCB. I have made sure it will fit on the #kh1 as well. It’s a much tighter fit than the #kx2 or #kx3.

Quick render below of the top of the case. Need to figure out the bottom part, particularly connections. May need a tweak or two to the PCB…

I’ve been attempting to get the #freedv AppImage for #flexradio running on the RPi4 I use as my Allstar Node. I couldn’t get it to decode.

Managed to get it running on my #uconsole and received ON4LX operating on #qo100.

Spoiler: there is a firewall on the Allstar Node.
