  • Thanks! I’m sure most of these cheaper handhelds are going to work basically the same for transmitting.

    I think one of the bigger AliExpress sales is later this month, spring sale or something? I’ve been leaning towards the Quansheng mainly because of all of the custom firmware available. I didn’t realize it could pick up NOAA alerts. Have you played with the spectrum analyzer?

    The TD-H3 also has a pretty wide receive range and a nice looking screen (annoying text printed on the side of the screen though…would have been better left blank)





  • I’m pretty sure I used one that was terminal based, likely using ncurses. Without searching, I can’t recall the name of it, though.

    I used XMPP a bit among friends, more so when Google supported it, which was probably after ICQ/AIM/MSN wasn’t as popular? I don’t really talk to many people anymore, so whatever, heheh :)

    It would be nice to see XMPP make some kind of “comeback” … or some sort of popularity boost like mastodon/lemmy/etc in recent times.
