 Radio devices gonna make a huge come back 
 did u get a pair? 
 I'm waiting on a Tidradio H3 as a partner to this. I like the built in USBC programming on that radio. I might get the Bluetooth dongle for the Quansheng. Being able to program from my phone would be handy. 
 ok nice thx

 Is this one of those LoRa mesh radios? If not, what isnit/what can it be used for?

You got my gear geek gears turning 🤘 
 Handheld ham with open firmware. A field programmable radio transceiver. 
 Thats awesome. Did you build or can it be ordered? 

I don't know much about these radio projects, but interested to learn more.

So pardon the silly question, but what do/can you do with it? 
 It is a finished product, and can be ordered. $30 on AliExpress.

It can received & transmit most ham, unlicenced (GMRS, FRS, MURS, PMR446) & commercial radio frequencies. 
 Thanks mate 🤙 
 Hello, what firmware do you use? 
 It would be most gracious of you, good sir, if you were so inclined to share with me the firmware specifications utilized within the device you have referenced. I should be most appreciative of your benevolent assistance in this matter.
