All I really want is a great conversations view like Gmail has. Sadly they only mention it in passing (it's blocked by global indexing).

I think a passing test suite, no diff after clang-format, clean valgrind and clang-analyze checks are not too much to ask for. As long as the requirements are documented and the system is transparent and allows resubmission. But I agree the

It's thought to be legal but it is not explicitly allowed, and so it requires some legal interpretation and that is not court tested.

That is a power hog, compared to say an STM32L4 with, per spec, ~250 nA deep sleep w/ RTC & some RAM (to make it at least somewhat comparable to the ESP) and 50uA/MHz dynamic run mode. Also you shouldn't just take stead

I'm not sure what asymmetric encryption has to do with this. There are already protocols that are widely used in ham radio that support encryption. For example, DMR supports encryption (because DMR can also operate in commercial bands,

by throwaway3neu94 6y ago
Oh. Yes, those DMR radios have T9 keypads. Its awful, but the best we have. For analog APRS, which as I said has questionable reliability (for many reasons), you can use a smartphone app (like APRSDroid) and either an audio cable to the rad

by throwaway3neu94 6y ago
Could you give me an example or two so I can better understand what you mean? You're not entirely wrong, an undocumented plaintext protocol is functionally not much different from encryption. However, those which are legitimate (ie, ju

I would not recommend analog APRS for reliable text communication, or anything except periodic, unidirectional (radio to internet), fire and forget position/status/etc reports (for which APRS often can't be beat due its to

by throwaway3neu94 6y ago
No, we aren't and we like it the way it is. The last thing ham radio needs is corporations just taking our bands, or ham radio getting banned in unstable countries over espionage concerns. If you want encryption, use a cellphone, LoR

The protocol is not the problem here. Most commercial VPN products are IPsec internally, plus some proprietary authentication stuff. (So much that for several, there are open source reimplementations of just those parts, and the actual IP

They should go down to 400ppm because the periodic autocalibration which is on by default assumes the lowest level seen in 24 hours is 400ppm.

by throwaway3neu94 6y ago
You should be using the newer version, MH-Z19B, not MH-Z19. The protocol is compatible though. Also note they come in up-to-3000ppm and up-to-5000ppm variants. Be sure to get the latter. In case it helps anyone: a very fast way to get it wo
