    Is $350 for Yaesu FT-857D a good deal?

    Jump

  • If you’re seeing them go for twice as much elsewhere, then it sounds like it might be a good deal. Bear in mind the old adage “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

    It’s possible it’s being sold by someone who had high ideas of amateur radio and wants to rid themselves of a basically brand new radio.

    It could be part of an estate sale and the seller did not do sufficient research.

    It could be inoperable and the seller is not being forthcoming.

    It could be stolen and someone is trying to fence it.

    At the end of the day, you have to decide if $350 is worth the risk.

    what's a good present for some friendly nurses who taught me little tricks to work better before I leave the hospital I'm working at?

  • Some banks have them, some don’t. It depends on what’s in stock that day. Tried to ask for a stack of US$2 bills once and they told me I’d need to place an order for US$10,000 in order to get them in because they don’t keep them stocked.

  • Worse. Willing to bet this port came with infrastructure money and a guarantee that if the Peruvians don’t pay the Chinese seize the port, becoming de facto sovereign territory.

  • Most of the larger LLMs state the results of the model stemming from the user’s prompt intellectually belong to the user.

    It’s a massive grey area, and the sum of these kinds of cases are what will define ownership of LLM output for the next ~50 years.

    Don’t get me wrong, kid absolutely did not comply with the spirit of the assignment.

    E: @Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world makes an excellent point:

    If the student hired someone to write their essay and the author assigned all copyrights to the student, it's still plagiarism.

    Who legally owns the work isn't the issue with plagiarism.

  • They have! 2030.

    I’m not sure if it’s a mandate, or a goal, but it’s there.

  • While it’s no consolation to these current people, they are trying to make the switch to lead-free aviation fuel. It’s partly a regulatory nightmare, and partly a genuine safety challenge; mandating a fuel change in aviation without adequate research and understanding can result in unexpected engine malfunctions.

  • In preparing to get my ticket in 2020, I hopped on the Utah WebSDR and even got a shortwave listener (SWL) QSL card from a guy in the Cook Islands (E51JD).

    Earlier this year I made a two-way QSL (contact) with him using my rig and 100W.

    There’s a ton to learn, do, or accomplish if you want. So many facets to amateur radio.

    I’m working on CW now!
