Coming up on my YouTube channel are two Retevis PMR446 radios, the H777 in a very fetching bright green colour and the RB639, I haven't filmed much recently on the channel or done a lot radio wise due to personal reasons but I am hoping that should change soon

The 18650s, despite not being an Amazon Prime product, arrived today, the solar panel, charger for the 18650s and some RF adaptors that may be needed are scheduled to arrive this afternoon, once the case arrives I can finally start building the MeshCore repeater #LoRa #MeshCore

The rest of my main MeshCore repeater is slowly coming together, today I ordered some 18650s and a solar panel from Amazon as well as a zerofox3d Hermes enclosure to accommodate the RAKwireless RAK19007 board, hopefully that will keep me busy #LoRa #meshcore

Being a radio ham has its advantages, my energy provider told me today why I got cold-called by a company called MPAAS, I told them the issue could not be fixed due to distance between the electricity and gas meter without a ZigBee repeater, why they decided ZigBee was a good idea I will never know

One of the things I do to test PMR446 radios is place the radio next to my kitchen window (only window I can do this not having window sills) and set the radio to scan, have a radio there now and PMR446 is very active today with the typical traffic expected #pmr446

Another set of Retevis handhelds appeared on my Amazon Vine recommendations, this time the H777 in a rather bright green colour, again same as before, review on Amazon then they'll feature on the YouTube channel #PMR446 #hamradio #retevis

So again it looks like Amazon Vine came up trumps with radio related stuff, this time the Retevis RB639 PMR446 radios, as with the previous radio product I will write the review and then feature them on my YouTube channel after that #pmr446 #hamradio #retevis

I haven't gone through the change logs as such, I briefly seen it mentioned on the official MeshCore discord this morning so not sure

MeshCore have released their latest firmware which I have flashed to 3 of the 4 LoRa devices I have, the one I haven't done is the Raspberry Pi Pico which I am planning on putting into a waterproof box, so it makes sense to me to upgrade it then #LoRa #MeshCore #hamradio

I am hoping to get my tape measure Yagi tuned somewhat today, potentially also going to try for a QSO through one of the FM satellites if I am lucky, potentially SO-50 as my radios are programmed for it #hamradio

I have decided my tools are in serious need of organisation so have dug out my old toolbox which was in a very sorry state inside as not long after I moved into the current QTH in 2017 the hot water tank sprung a leak and flooded it so it has been thoroughly cleaned out

Have finally put the 2000mAh battery onto the Heltec Wireless Tracker after the RAK Wisblock board finally discharged it until the cell protection kicked in rendering it a bit safer for me to cut wires and splice another connector on #hamradio #LoRa #electronics #meshcore

I've been participating in Amazon Vine for a while now and not much radio wise has popped up, today one of those ATS-20+ receivers popped up so I have requested one which of course I'll be reviewing for Amazon then looking at on the channel afterwards #hamradio

Have chatted to one of the locals on MeshCore today, first official contact on it since I started using it, I was sat at home and they were down at Tesco, so it seems to me that there is interest in it round here

Because it is possible I'm going to clip the Heltec Wireless Tracker to my sunflower lanyard when I go out today, I'm still waiting for the 2000mAh battery meant for it to finally discharge to safe levels so for now it has to run off a 600mAh battery #LoRa #meshcore #HamRadio
