    So how was your day?

    A bit of a mess there. Is there some kind of wave in your shingle about 3-4 from the drip edge? You may want to have it looked at unless its some weird photographic effect, you may have some bad sheathing. A new chainsaw is always nice, especially with a long bar.

    Kenwood TH-D72 2m/440 APRS HT Review

    I don't think there is a way to get around that issue for now. I have been playing around with the smc-33 speaker/mic and have the 3 buttons programmed as 1- A/B, 2- up and 3- down.

    ACER ONE NOTEBOOK/DIGITAL

    I had some problems with win 7 too. I had to go to control panel/hardware and sound/sound and play with the recording device settings. For whatever reason I needed the input jack to be set as line input and not mic input
