Try looking at legally required ingredient and nutritional labels on food and you’re in for a shock, light grey on white, yellow on white, label across a square corner, it’s clearly intentional and nobody seems to care.

I wonder if antenna polarisation was a factor.
- Comment on I finally fixed my Yaesu! 1 week ago:
Thank you for documenting your journey. Regardless of the outcome, in this case excellent, it’s what helps the entire community because it provides information and inspiration to the next amateur who finds something odd in their shack.
- Comment on Minute by Minute Recreation of Apocalyptic Nepal Flood 1 week ago:
I haven’t watched this, but I can tell you without any doubt that this is absolutely rubbish.
The disaster zone is still in rescue mode, infrastructure is pretty much wiped out, humanitarian aid hasn’t even started arriving and there’s no evidence of scientists being on the ground to physically inspect the area to figure out exactly what happened and how.
Mind you, that’s not stopping the armchair “experts” from making YouTube videos, complete with Assumed Intelligence slop, that explain everything as fact, rather than the fiction it so clearly is.
- Comment on How LoRa (ExpressLRS) Drone Receivers Work 2 weeks ago:
Yes, that’s an excellent explanation, which is why I shared it 27 days ago 😁
Mind you, to be fair, our instance was having some synchronisation issues which might explain why your post is 42 minutes old, or why you didn’t see mine.
Either way, LoRa is pretty cool.

- Comment on Investigation on my Yaesu FT-2900R's Intermittent Loud Static Noise 3 weeks ago:
That’s quite the investigation.
If I’m understanding your description correctly, you appear to have found a bug in the design, but have you confirmed that the diagram and the actual circuit board are identical?

- Comment on How LoRa (ExpressLRS) Drone Receivers Work 5 weeks ago:
Starting with a disclaimer, I don’t know, what follows is speculation only.
I suspect that the only requirement is that the slope of the chirp at encoding and decoding is the same.
Ultimately, it’s used to remove noise in relation to a reference level.
I haven’t had an opportunity to do the math to confirm this and I’ve bookmarked a few LoRa videos to see if they get into the mechanics, but I’m not holding my breath.

- Comment on How can AI act without initial human input? Does this show AI can have freewill or am I deceived? 1 month ago:
This is OpenAI marketing.
The fact that it’s being reported on every media outlet on the planet, means that they were successful.

- Comment on Loud Static Noise 1 month ago:
So … just so we understand, the radio is physically connected to a running power supply but the radio itself is switched off when the noise occurs?

You need to go to see a doctor now! Likely you’ll get a referral to a neurologist. Do not fuck around with this.
