now, minus all that bling, I had the luxury of assemblers like her to do all my work for me. Noting like having a 160 pin FPGA in SMT replaced for you while you wait.

So in other words the people that did your work for you had no idea whatsoever how to even hold a soldering iron then? :confused: Did they have a good medical plan? :p
 
That is one of the new no current needed solder pencils that
are powered by hot little fingers.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
