EMF Calculator | Tue 9th Nov 2021 11:15 GMT |
Some time ago when the ICNRP requirements were being talked about, I build an EMF calulator. Much to my surprise a few fellow hams have found it and are making active use of it, I'm pleased to be able to provide a service you find useful. | |
Busy Weekend! | Mon 4th May 2020 10:33 BST |
It's been a busy weekend one way and another, thank you Jonathan (G4KLX) for working with me, and thank you Douglas (AD8DP) for your DMR2YSF patch that inspired my work on YSF2DMR, YSF2P25 and YSF2NXDN. I think we got them working again... phew... | |

Pi-Star Version 4.1.0 | Thu 26th Mar 2020 11:09 GMT |
Available for download from today, version 4.1.0 is available for Raspberry Pi hardware. All the Pi-Star features you know and love, plus a new operating system, moving Pi-Star to the the newer "Buster" OS. 4.1.0 has the most up-to-date versions of all of the software used for digital comms, including some customised versions in some cases including DMR2YSF cross-over code that should help those users using reflectors that link back to WiresX. Cross-Over modes are generally better in Pi-Star 4.1.x and have much improved code, making it possible to drive the YSF platform from the radio, such that when you use a YSF2xxx cross-over mode, the commands are properly passed into the sub mode. For example using YSF2DMR, you can choose the YSF2DMR mode from your Yaesu radio, and then choose the talk group and link to it. This makes using these cross-over modes a joy rather than a hastle. The move to "Buster" has been painfull, issues with time sync and WiFi and Pi4 hardware support was troublesome, however every cloud has a silver lining and the lessons we learned here will be crucial to Pi-Star versions in the future. | |
