Community group feature addition

What would be the possibility of adding a way to be selective about the posts we see in the community?  It would be great to select by subject. And yeah, I'm talking about the January doldrums. It would make the place so much nicer, and less repetitive.

What's this squelch thing you talk about? I don't miss it. 100% agree with you Michael, then those some people go on other site and spew the same garbage. My only gripe is Flex doesn't have a mobile rig, yet!

Maestro wifi connected to a smartphone to your home 6xxx series server is a cheap way to go. No issues and expenses related to setting up a good mobile.

Agreed Rory - I've only ever used a squelch once in the 20 years I've been an amateur.

Now as for a mobile rig - I would hope we'd only use it while stationary. I'm too addicted to a waterfall! I have a Kenwood 480, and like it, but now you've given me ideas...... 8^)

I like the idea of a Forum FB. I'd just like to be able to have the ability to not have to see some of the threads without bothering the people who like those type threads.

I wonder what the advantage would be in having a direct sampling mobile radio?

Michael Coslo

I really don't know of any, but might try sometime. I do like my TS-480 for certain, as KenWood managed to make a radio with decent menus. Would a Flex be better?  maybe not, bit ot would look awesome.

You know if they can make a dare I say it a KX3 like radio that would be really cool. VE3CKO, remote is cool but operating on site with bent bedspring and battery power might be fun. SOTA?

Doggone it. Now I'm thinking about Mounting my Flex in the trunk, installing a little router  and dash mounting my 10 in  Windows tablet. I tried it to see how it would work, and it wasn't too bad with the touch screen.

I have mine in a storage bay in the RV right now with a ethernet line going to my Maestro on a table in the RV. I had a router up in the RV but got too much delay. I was thinking of installing the router right next to radio and see if that didn't reduce the delay so I could put in a small switch to run logging program etc. on the computer.

Bill,

With a board similar to phpBB, you don't wait for emails, the board is live all the time. If you post something then as soon as the server has received your post, anyone else can comment on it. No emails are involved.

It would be similar to the way this works EXCEPT that things are much more ordered and much much easier to navigate through.
