@vk6flab Solar flux measurement/monitoring with an ADALM Pluto SDR. Sounds like a fun project. Learning ahead! Thanks for sharing & 73.

For those who do public service in the US, do you use a dedicated dual band VHF/UHF radio, or the same all-band, all-mode radio you use for other activities like POTA? in c/amateur_radio@lemmy.radio

@K3LOE Prefer dedicated radios (typically lower cost and feature specific to the PS functions needed). Have concerns for loss/damage so do not bring $$$ radios or accessories to PS events. Typical individual station: dual band HT, speaker mic, standard and extended range antennas, extra batteries, case/holders, etc.
