Yeah I just broke down and used the script. Shit just worked lol.

yeah this appears to be the issue. I have all of the communities and the initial content from discovery but they don’t seem to want to talk now.

Hm, well I’ll debug this for a lil bit just for the learning experience and just fallback to this if needed.

Well I already spent the time to set it up manually so I kinda wanna get it working as it is. If nothing else works I might have to give it a shot.

So far from tailing access.log I get a status of 200 from subbing and unsubbing from a community. Still stuck on pending though.

As a long time android user I was kind of impressed by the setup process on newer android phones. Easily migrates your data over and sets everything up for you to your liking. Feels very polished.

yup

Study for your tech license with https://ham.study/ and learn how to use a baofeng uv5r/gt5r handheld. That’s how I started on a budget. Don’t overspend on the baofengs on amazon. They should realistically be around $25 not $60 and they are all almost the same.

Yeah it’s an option in the initial setup.

Ima be honest with ya, I believe those cheaper yaesus are actually practically baofengs component wise. But, they are still a bit better due to some higher quality components and wayyyy better QC. Just wanted to throw this out there.

That is true, it goes the other way too. The only reason I can somewhat use an IPhone proficiently is because of the amount of tech support I have given for them.

Yeah lol

I will say, some ROMs these days are practically maintenance free. I have been running graphene os for about 3 years now and I have never had issues updsting by just pressing the button.
