Does a side by side 12ga shotgun count as a weapon?

Ok, I'll show you the codeplug but then I'll shoot you... happy?

KC9UZB

Unless anyone objects, once I read the radio I'll post up what it was programmed with and you can all decide what it was!

KC9UZB

Nope, flash on the sticker is as I typed it... radio must have had the flash updated at some point or been re-cased?

Flashcode from the service menu is IMBE.

KC9UZB

Outstanding mate, good job. So Parcel Force didn't nick (hah) your radio after all...Welcome to IMBE. ;) I got the pun. Thank you kindly sir, and sirs, for all your collective help! Without wanting to launch into anything gay (I think escomm is convinced I'm a fag), you guys rock. :xls: Can't wait ...

KC9UZB

Eep.

I also get KEY FAIL which I kinda was expecting. Once I get some software sorted I'll have a look at the codeplug and um, see what else was programmed in...

KC9UZB

Thanks Josh.

I ran through that, and it's as the seller described it, so I'm happy.

It only has one channel that will xmit on anything, the others just "bloop" at me... :) The one that xmits is 416.425 with PL of 167.9. It's labelled as OTAR on the radio...

KC9UZB

WOOT!!! :baby: :baby: :baby: :baby: :baby: My baby's arrived, yay. Just realised I'll need a voltage adaptor for the charger, but meh, that's a small thing. Ok, I'm totally clueless and I don't know how to operate the radio at all... lol. *googles for a manual*. BTW, flashcode on the radio's sticker...

KC9UZB

SO....did you get your radio yet??? (to gently push this back on topic) ;) to quote me: "Did I **** get my radio yet" :( This country stinks... I know it's a little thing, but how the hell do you lose a frigging radio. It was due to be delivered yesterday... nothing turned up. Spoke to so...

QFT.

Although if its a nice tea like Earl Grey then its milk no sugar. I tried it hot with lemon juice once but it tasted funky.

KC9UZB

they even have an iced earl gray now, I saw it advertised on the TV. :anus: That's a frigging travesty! What's the world coming to. To be honest I've never tried ice tea... erm... do you have milk and sugar or what? Because tea with no milk and/or sugar (NOT in the case of Earl Grey) is just.. disg...

KC9UZB

Gosh darnit... and I do SO enjoy tea.

Yeah what is it with you Americans drinking tea COLD ffs?

I knew someone who lived in Virginia (or was it West Virginia?) who would drink iced tea constantly...

KC9UZB

Even if the tax is completely unfair and unwarranted? ;)

We pay enough stinking tax in this country without paying it on secondhand goods!

KC9UZB

Parcel marked as gift / no value = no insurance :baby: I've had good luck shippign thinks as gift, declared value low, insured for right amount. Seth Hmm, there's hope then. I did sort of ask the seller if he'd mark it as low value, but he said something about the insurance and he couldn't mark it ...

KC9UZB

I won't admit to anything here, but my last two scanners I imported didn't attract any tax or duty. :baby: I just didn't want to risk $400's worth of gear going into the sweaty hands of some postal worker... and never being seen again, and no way of getting my money back. Parcel marked as gift / no ...

KC9UZB

I pay no Customs duty on goods from the USA, thanks to the FTA. :mjban: Bastard! :baby: :baby: I don't pay duty either, but the ***t's hit me with SALES TAX on a secondhand item........... 17.5% of $400 PLUS $30 "Admin" charge. God I love this country! :soap: :baby: :baby: :baby: :cheesea...

Nah Imma just be patient (for once in my life) and wait for it.. hope my fricking programming cable turns up soon!

KC9UZB

Sorry guys, I need to rant... I'll keep it as swear free as possible. Paid the seller on 20th of June. I got a USPS tracking number same day, automagically generated by paypal. It stayed as "electronicly notified" for a while - I thought...ok this can happen, I've seen it stay like that ev...

Wine swilling, bad smelling, cheese eating surrender monkeys! :D

KC9UZB

Good on ya. I assume it came with recent firmware and the appropriate flash? :baby: I dunno how uptight the British government is on importing, but pretty much all of the EU is okay to export DES products to under US trade regs. flash could be better but it's IMBE sexy which is what I wanted. It co...

Update for anyone who cares. Found a Saber on Batlabs and after a bit of haggling and some WTF moments I got it for $350. Comes with a charger and a NOS Moto battery. Seems like a good deal, and including shipping to my shitty part of the world it was $411. Been talking to a guy over here who's been...

KC9UZB

(FLAC ftw).

Thanks r0f makes sense. I've heard some really crappy audio recorded off a scanner, it sounded like a bad cell phone...

The Saber I'll be getting in a few days is:

R07.03.00
DSP I07.03.12

Is that good or bad? Just out of curiosity.

KC9UZB

A friend of mine asked me what the recovered audio sounds like from an IMBE radio.

Since mine hasn't arrived yet, and in any case I only have one! does anyone have any high quality, preferably not too MP3'd samples of audio from an Astro IMBE radio?

Thankyoukindly.

KC9UZB

Holy revived thread... but it's true. Use it or lose it. In the UK, bandplans are (for now anyway) nothing more than gentleman's agreements If I wanted I could sit on the repeater inputs and have a conversation with my mate, but likely (and rightly) I'd get a bollocking. But as long as I'm not doing...

KC9UZB

LMFAO at the cat comment. It's hard enough getting the local hammies round here to even use their fricken Icum's and Yaewoods let alone getting them to use a whole new mode that might require OMG spending more than $200 on something and programming it solely with a computer! SHOCK HORROR. When I tur...

KC9UZB

Weeeeeelll, just in case anyone cared, here's an update. I got fooled into buying another hammy rig - I can't really remember why, I must have been drunk or something, but I just blew damn near $400 on an FT-8800. I already have one, I don't know why I wanted another. Meh at least I have a radio I c...

KC9UZB

Meh, that plan is out of the window.

The guy wanted $400 for the pair...

*goes back to putting the pennies in his piggy bank*

KC9UZB

Hmmm, here's a question (not quite the right place for it, but here goes).

If you remove the crypto board from a Saber, will it dump its keys?

KC9UZB

lol owned. Ok, update on the two AS's I posted about ^^ up there: The radios were fitted with dvi modules which were only made for home office use so all home office astros will communicate with each other,and can be put onto acpo25 via the software,only found this out today as the guy i bought them...

KC9UZB

Yes, its virtually a legal encryption since most hammies don't have the money to go P25 digital anyway, too busy buying Dstar crap and deodorant etc. There is a saying here... it goes something like this: Go digital or go home :mjban: I guess 99% of hammies went home or to a stinkfest to buy Icum/Y...

KC9UZB

<SARCASM> yes, I too only drink the finest French and Italian wines, and when I am partaking in my tipples of choice I am wisely avoiding all forms of officially sanctioned OF QRZ encryption such as MDC, IMBE, GE STAR and MODAT. </SARCASM> Of course my good man... best to always use the santioned e...

KC9UZB

Hahaha! :D Nice one. Personally I only partake in the drinking of spirits and fine wines.... who am I kidding... I couldn't condone using encryption on the amateur bands, although someone I know will cover me to use their "General" licence which does allow it.. Mwhahahaha. *gets saving the...

KC9UZB

Could be the same guy, it wasn't me that's for sure . 403-470 is ideal since it covers one of our amateur bands and also two un-regulated business bands. VHF would be nice but the split would have to cover 144-146MHz. I did check out the flashcode and the model number etc. before I posted, and I not...

KC9UZB
