    iOS Backdoor for those that haven't heard...

    Here's a link to the SoCal folks regarding a backdoor into iOS (iPhone). It seems the backdoor into an iOS phone is not too dissimilar from the backdoor into a Google (Android) or Windows phone. I'm not quite sure why the SoCal folks only seem interested in sharing this info with each...

    The Metric System and the US... thoughts?

    As I'm sure a number of you know, there was a big push back in the 1970s to get the United States onto the metric system (to include using Celsius versus Fahrenheit). Obviously, that petered out very quickly because of push-back from the public. Since then, I've seen several instances where...

    Receiving Radio with blades of grass

    This was originally posted in the SoCal HAM section of this forum, but I'd thought I'd repost it here for entertainment value, so that others can chime in. Apparently the people that recorded this video didn't get the memo on what high powered radio transmissions can do to their bodies when...

    Galaxy 2547 Freq Response Question

    First, I understand that CBs are set for a certain amount of frequency response on the transmit side (around 2800 Hz of bandwidth, IIRC on the Galaxy 2547). My question is this: Is there a pot on the radio that adjusts where on the frequency band that 2800 Hz is set? The reason I ask is...

    Help with eliminating electrical RF splatter

    So here's the deal: I have an electrical service box outside of my house (it services several houses on my block). It's currently emitting RF distortion that my antenna's picking up. I believe someone in my neighborhood is utilizing one of those "home network" kits that uses your house's...
