    SDS100/SDS200: Need a new Belt clip for sds100

    Mine broke as well. Same thing as most. The locking lever snapped off. I guess it's time for a phone call ASAP as I am approaching the 90 day warranty period.

    Broadcastify Raspberry PI Image Available

    I have been running Raspbian "Wheezy" for a number of years streaming with the Darkice package. This last week my Pi was hosed by a cleaning crew and I reloaded Raspbian "Jessie". Things are definitely different under this distro. Even setting a static IP address was a challenge. I found...

    UPDATE

    Seen at Hamcom in Dallas According to the Wayne at the Whistler booth, today is the "official" release date. All of the first production run shipments are sold to dealers. Of course, YMMV. This is what I can *actually* verify: 1. It exists in reality. (I had to physically touch it to be sure)...

    Trying to Supply a New Feed using Linux/DarkIce, but having trouble

    Boy do I feel stupid... I had the same error message. I was looking at permissions on the Lame encoder, config file errors, etc. As it turned out, the problem was the Windows client connected to the server so that user account was in use. Once I killed the Windows software it worked like a...

    Thanks for the tip I was having the same issue when upgrading to a bigger SD card. I had not used the "erase" option in the SDFormatter software. Error cleared after following the directions.

    Let's roll 'em structure fire

    That was our way of letting the guys know that we had a real working structure fire as opposed to a minor incident or an alarm call. This was my preferred format: TONES... "OK men, let's roll 'em, let's roll 'em... Structure fire 123 Main Street. Repeating structure fire, One, Two, Three, Main...

    Subscription Expired

    ARC 396. I think you are right. There was most likely a server issue. It is fine now but was not OK for over an hour even though my feed was back up. My sincerest apologies. If I re-subscribe and upgrade to a paid premium subscription will access be independent of the feed? I don't mind...

    Subscription Expired

    The frequencies are indeed stored in my 996 which is in the car / go kit. It is accessible by crawling over my wife's car, releasing the garage door and lifting it up manually. I would have done this if the situation demanded it. They are not programmed into my 396 which is what I was attempting...

    Subscription Expired

    Update Power restored, audio feed back online, still expired. I apologize for the rant but UPSs screaming in your ears will do that sometimes. It's a good thing that this happened and there was not a *real* emergency situation. This is how we discover weaknesses in our preparedness plans. I...

    Frisco 800Mhz P25 TRS coming online

    LOL, The PD in Allen was kind enough to write a letter for me releasing 155.565 for use as Rockwall PD's repeater output when we split from the SO's repeater way back when. You might have been the one that signed off on that.
