Boy, this is turning into a full-scale boxing match now. No, not at all. K7PAL, Barry. K7PAL is one of the founders of PSRG. I think you've met him before. No, you have. Of course you have. But anyway, so yeah, and John is working on some meshtastic updates, I believe, with his node, and he and Barry are going back and forth. I guess they're not really talking about much else right now because they're deep in the weeds on meshtastic. Those were my takeaways. Now, my question for you back at Tech Talk here, KV4P, one of your latest projects I know, apparently, ZeroRetries.org, the blog that Steve up in Bellingham puts out, ZeroRetries.org, he says, and I haven't had a chance to read this article in the newest issue, 2.16, but there's a new version, version 2. Are you aware of that, and have you done anything on that yet? KV4P version 2. Back to you, Bill. Yeah, well, thank you, Jack. Yes, actually, ZeroRetries just had an article about it because they just got a hold of it, but actually version 2 has been available for, gosh, a very long time, well over six months, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I won't go into the technical details, but it's quite an improved version, and I've been using it, and you and I have talked on it and on the net many times. It works great. Version 2 is good. It's not as DIY as the original version because the board is a little more sophisticated. Anyway, it really works well, and there's a new firmware coming out, I think, within a few weeks that I'm looking forward to. Since we've been chatting so long, I'll make my comment very brief. I just wanted to say meshtastic is very interesting. I've been talking to Barry about it, as a matter of fact, but even more interesting to me is the latest and greatest, which is a different, instead of meshtastic, another piece of software and firmware called MeshCore, which runs on most of the same devices. I've been experimenting with it now for a couple of months, and I find it much more robust than meshtastic. It really gets the messages through. This is K7WFP. Back to you, Jack.
