Is there a common name for this user interface behavior? You press and hold a button on your handheld transceiver to start scanning. The radio will either: 1) start scanning as soon as you’ve held it long enough or 2) only start scanning when you release the button, provided you also held it long enough in the first place. #2 is evil and should die but I think it has to have a name before we can start killing it.

the #xiegu #x6100 is an incredible looking piece of gear. it's similar to the #qrp setups and transceivers like the #g90, but can be more easily modified for #11m/cb in addition to HF use. it's got an integrated battery pack, and is compact enough i could mount it in my kitchen and connect from anywhere via wifi/ip. it looks great for backpack/go bag/out the door.

if anyone has used one on #11m or anything ubiquitous like that please tell me about it.

my #presidentElectronics #randyIIfcc (a #cb #HT) has been great except for the fact that possibly due to my own actions it sounds like i am underwater on am and fm, there's something wonky with modulation and power and i can't figure it out and am sending it to president's US distributor soon.

the availability of fm is nice but i haven't heard many people using it. the 11m/ #citizensBand is pretty lively at times but there's something i need to ask #radio mastodon:

@rl_dane @thomholwerda Hyperthreading can actually cause performance issues with #virtualisation (along with security issues). Over-subscription of vCPU on physical hardware can cause guest process lockup because of the host #HT scheduling.

Hyperthreading 'might' have been good back in the day of bare metal workloads but no longer a technology that should be used in the modern era (look how Intel have dropped HT for P and E cores).
