No problemo at all. All right, well that brings us to the bottom of this list, and we caught the chicken, so we're going to go back up to the top to Gray. He is now the new top of the list, KCTPKG. We have talked about HTs, we have talked about some digital, Echo Link, all sorts of stuff. I actually have DBSwitch pulled up and I was looking at it, because I have it on there, and I just never really set it up. I just put it on there in case I wanted it in the future, and it sounds like I probably do. It seems like that's what ClearNode uses to connect all the digital modes up to it. So if they can do it with DBSwitch, I don't know why I can too. So I think that's what I'm going to play with here. Well, that, let me just find a radio I can connect to my node. But I can actually use it. But yeah, I think that's where I'm at. So you have the analog bridge, which handles the audio and protocol translation. You then have a digital bridge, which connects the specific networks to the digital modes, whether it's DMR or a DSU or whatever. The switch server is actually the brain. And then I already have DBSwitch mobile because it's on my phone. That's why I'm not using it today, but I do use it a lot of the time. So it sounds like, yeah, I could probably do this without connecting the radio to the node, but that kind of defeats the purpose of hooking the radio up to the node. So I think I'll be buying two things. I'm going to be buying the CraySharm radio that's been suggested today. And then I have to order something. A ClearNode, the thing that Gabby told me and I still can't find it, a Sherry Pie hack, or come up with my own solution. I do have an all-in-one cable that works. Like I said, I've already had it connected up to the bail thing I had. So it would seem like to me to find a Kenridge-style imprint on something else that can handle the transmission might be the cheapest way out. Cheapest being relative. Like again, I'm frugal, not cheap. So I don't mind buying quality stuff. I don't want to spend a lot of money on this because I don't know if I like digital video. I don't know if I want to do that. I do know I want to try. So I wish we had a good club around here because I would be willing to bet a lot of the clubs, maybe that would be a topic that we talk about at some point, but I'm willing to bet a lot of the radio clubs, and I'm guessing a lot of you all are part of radio clubs. Y'all have possibly things like this already set up that you can look at, interact with, see if it's something that you really want to use or not. I just really wish that I lived closer to a bigger town sometimes. Most of the time I'm glad I don't. Okay, so moving up to the top of the list. Great, KC2PKG. Man, it is 818. I'm not sure it's quite time to do 73 rounds yet, so I think we've got two more in. Why don't you dictate and start the conversation for this next round? It can be about what we've talked about, or it can be anything you want to talk about. I'm Mikey Joyce.
