Yes, there is some amazing radio equipment available nowadays. You think about it compared to what we had a long time ago, the advances have been just amazing. And yeah, this 950, you know I've seen some reviews that said the receive was pretty bad. I think it might be more, I don't know for sure, like I said I haven't done anything with it yet. But I think the antenna has got to be a huge limiting factor. Although that 880, I've heard the same thing. Some people said that the HS or shortwave area receive was better. But then I've seen some videos where they said it receives fine. So I don't know. It could be hit or miss, you know, a quality control thing. I don't know. Different firmware. I noticed this one, they shipped me with the latest firmware on it. So there's no firmware update for me to do. Not yet anyway. I don't know if that made a difference on some of them. I really don't know. It's an unusual radio, no doubt. It's kind of a little weird. I only had it on a couple of minutes. I don't know anything about it. The little owner's manual that comes with it is, well, it's lacking quite a bit we'll say. It's almost useless. I don't want to sound too negative, but very little documentation. But I think I'll figure it out. Once I get familiar with it, I may possibly do a YouTube video on this radio also, maybe. But I'm looking forward to someday when we have something like that Ragtail 950 that can transmit everywhere it receives and also happens to run Android, I can run Echo Link and TV Switch and Zello and stuff like that on it. Boy, that would be the ultimate device, wouldn't it? That's probably not going to happen. But hey, you never know. We'll see. Other than that, like I say, Graham, not much happening here. So I will give this back to you. I'm going to be working half a day tomorrow. Even though I plan to get on HS, I am going to be working in the shop just a couple hours in the morning. I have a part to ship on Monday. I didn't quite get it finished today. I could have stayed, I could have worked later and had it done, but I'm just going to work tomorrow a little bit. And that's about it for this weekend. So back over to you, Graham. Back to net control from N9 KGC.
