      SHTF Test

      https://www.homedepot.com/p/Siemens-Standby-Power-Interlock-Kit-150-Amp-and-Up-ECSBPK03/203197664 That's the kit from Siemens for their panel. It shows a screw in the upper left corner that is screwed in to the main breaker. When it's attached to the main breaker it sits behind the panel...

      SHTF Test

      You can disagree all you want with my characterization of your panel but facts are facts and it’s not legal because it doesn’t meet NEC. Do what you want. I won’t stop you. I just want others to know there is a correct way of doing it and it may cost $80 instead of $7 in aluminum signs and...

      SHTF Test

      You can do what you want to your house. It's your property and if you're comfortable with it, keep doing it. I'm telling others not to do what you did because it isn't safe and doesn't meet any version of the NEC. Some people don't open the action of their gun when crossing a fence, that's...

      SHTF Test

      I also use a whole house interlock kit but mine is from the panel manufacturer. There are NEC rules to follow that if you don't is a quick and easy way for the insurance company to deny claims related to your electric service. Putting home made interlocks on a panel that doesn't meet UL or MET...

      Switched to T-mobile

      I'm in the position now where I'm leaving my job and need to get a phone. Verizon is what we use and it's been fine for me but pricing the same plan out with them vs T-Mobile or Mint mobile is very different. I'm fine with slowing down a partner carrier which I guess is how I'd describe Mint on...

      Thoughts on Apple Watch?

      I had an apple watch series 1 for about 18 months. It integrates very well with the apple software on their phone. Same UI, same battery problems. If you want it for sleep tracking you'll have to charge it during the day. I could only get about 18-20 hours out of my watch. Wife has a series S I...

      LockSmith for an Auto Key Fob?

      So grateful that right now, I can get a key cut at home depot for free and do the programming on the fob myself. I have Ford 2010-2016's but I am interested in what happens. I'm sure a new car is in my future and having 2 keys now means I can program a 3rd/4th/etc key myself. But I don't think...

      INGO HAM Radio Club

      You aren't transmitting then. I don't have that radio but what I found for others in my collection is if the ALC meter isn't at 1 bar you won't get anything out. If your sound card is too low mic volume, you won't get audio to amplify. If WSJT-X output gain is set too low you also won't get...

      Emergency Communication

      I saw the Digirig at Hamvention a couple years back but I already had a Signalink and wasn't willing to change out yet. Since then I changed radios and may be in the market for a Digirig but will wait until May. If you've got wsjt-x open make sure your DT's are less than 2. Preferably less than...

      Emergency Communication

      If you're getting into FT-8 you'll want to check out PSK Reporter website for actual reports on how your signal is getting out. My report If you change the time frame from 15 or 30 minutes you can see how your day progressed and signals came in and out from around the world.

      Ladies Only Basic Pistol (Atlanta, IN) May 11, 2024

      Signed the Mrs up for it. Good stocking stuffer gift. Hope she makes new friends and learns some skills she didn't know she had in her.

      Titanium vs stainless steel suppressor - thermal expansion question

      I was under the impression that most titanium suppressors still had steel blast chamber baffle or inconel and same for the mounting hardware. I suppose since it's not serialized and you can replace it yourself that if you don't care how long it lasts that titanium would be fine but unnecessarily...

      Shiela Klinker involved in traffic accident

      She was westbound on Columbia at 3rd. Light turned green, pedestrian walked east from the county building, she turned left and drove into him. Knocked him to his feet. Pretty incredible he was able to just walk away from that hit. Maybe 5-10 MPH, she punched it off the line

      INGO HAM Radio Club

      The ARRL's year of the volunteer is winding down but Indiana has one more activation. If you want to be W1AW/9 you can sign up and pick a band and operation type and practice your pileup skills. It starts on 12/13 and ends on the 18th. I picked a couple of slots for digital modes.

      Losing a skill is like losing a friend.

      You're right. I learned Morse code when I was 14 or 15. I used it for 3 years at least once a week. Got up to a pretty quick speed (20 words a minute maybe) and then was able to get voice privileges on the radio and stopped using it. 25 yeras later it is taking forever to build up my speed...

      What caliber do you use for deer hunting?

      .308 caliber. Could be in my silenced M1 Garand in .308 Win, 10" AR in 300 Blackout, or the boring bolt action TC Compass in .308 Win. But I like my .308 caliber collection

      *** Secret Santa 2023 ***

      Good bunch of guys here on Ingo. Thank you Ziggidy for the well stitched patch, the magazine bands to mark those .30 cal rounds, and the ham radio book! They’ll all get good use. I like to store my extra deer rounds for the blackout in a 20 round mag to prevent any confusion and this band will...
