  • Very rarely do I have a positive view on posts in this com, but this is a rare exception.

    No mindless, pointless, circle jerk hating, but rather a positive and legitimate wish and view toward an alternative.

    People can hate on cars so they want, but since people and places end up making cars nesecary.

    Earlier this year I needed to go Melbourne to Albury, usually a trip done in a car, but this time I had use of a car at the other end so I took the train. Was a fantastic trip. Access to a small food bar, toilets, the occasional stop at more significant towns.

    Trains kick ass.

    I’d love to see a better in town solution for transport, buses and whatever both in Albury and my home town aren’t really up to scratch yet.












  • How’s your WiFi infrastructure? Assuming you have the area covered with WiFi you could go PoC (PushToTalk Over Cellular). There are dedicated handsets you can use for this for as low as USD$50 ea on Ali Express. Being that it’s just WiFi there are no licenses to worry about. Having a 2 way radio type handset makes it pretty familiar, buy you can very much use it with existing mobile handsets. Zello seems to be the de-facto standard for this but i believe other options exist.


  • All i can see is that as per @Inductor@feddit.de it just switches between the audio sources for ‘DATA MOD’ and ‘DATA OFF MOD’ in the CONNECTORS menu. Seems like a lame missed opportunity to also configure the other parameters of the radio for data. The addition of the ‘PRESETS’ menu seems like an additional missed opportunity to do the same. They describe it as a way we can save the state of the radio to suit digital modes… but then fail to let us save the sates of the most important things needed to be changed for digital modes. Seems like such a massive oversight, i just can’t understand what they were thinking?

    Only one of these is often ridden on footpaths and walking areas.

    The limit makes sense.

    Another bullshit cars are evil post that just ignore facts and reality.

    Cars can somewhat be evil but if you want to capture the attention of people you’ve go to post well considered arguments.

    Not crap like this.
