Gabe! I don't know how to thank you for your support. I don't know if people know the history or not -- but you suggested pretty much all the offline features! And we haven't released it yet -- but the next-gen transcription features are about ready to go. It's a huge leap forward in accuracy. We'll be sure you know when it's released! I think it'll solve most of your problems.
Love your expansion of your channel. I'm recovering from unprovoked violence work related multiple times. I am under good care but l have had to self finance it and we are talking about 5 years of surgeries. I'm so absolutely jealous that you have access to some of the used electronics that you have access to because I don't have that here or I live in Switzerland.. also being a dual US Swiss National ITAR applies to me so I had a satellite cyberdeck hacking which was mostly for just listening to unencrypted data from public scientific satellites weather satellites as well as for astrophotography and I wanted it portable so I could take it up into the mountains into the Alps as I do have a public transport pass. But I had to actually pull it down because it could absolutely be misused and I would be in violation of ITAR. It can easily be used as a rogue satellite ground station especially with some of these satellites that only use the CCSDS communications protocol and Pike Linux.. some of them are advertised commercially for academic institutions with AES optional.. optional AES with the number of satellites we have in Leo and the risk of a chain reaction increasing daily it's almost inevitability. We are playing with fire so bad and at least the companies with Geo and other more eccentric orbits they have to be have the money to launch one satellite per footprint instead of thousands and thousands and I think this is a mistake. I think Leo should be exclusively for scientific purposes not for internet connections which can be easily done in other ways especially with the advancement and communication technology and tenant design antenna geometry we just haven't put the effort into it I mean we can get Oscar q100 here in Europe if you have an amateur radio license with pretty much no amplification if you have good line of sight and good weather conditions. You might need five and at the most 20 watts of amplification but that's it.. That's in Geo orbit and I just don't understand why it is we need Leo for internet and everything else when some of these less crowded and orbits with satellites big enough to accommodate enough fuel and maneuverability to track and control their orbital paths. If we lose Theo it'll be very hard to just enter space at all. Then somebody's going to come up with the great idea of like throwing a nuclear bomb up there to clear it up which will just be brilliant! So we'll be playing geo-engineering with our atmosphere which is just a great idea that sarcasm!
Sorry to hear about the medical issues! I always assumed Europe was better for healthcare than the US. I agree that LEO is getting crowded, hopefully we don't have any major problems or collisions!
You could use satellite internet to have this spy on remote radio and listen on it on your mobile phone's internet browser. If you put it in a geo dome and run it of solar power it'd be like a coldwar spy station.
As much as railfans are disliked, I think it would be great for railfan-ing. Set up the radio on the appropriate AAR channel for the railroad, and let it do it's thing. Come back and listen to the train traffic. 😊
When you're camping, you might want to try putting your radio antenna on a short coax and then place the antenna on a tripod or even just a 5 or 6 foot pole stuck in the ground. The higher the better.
It'd be neat if there was a minimum recording size as well as a maximum. That'd help eliminate those short pops and scratches that get past the squelch.
Sorry for the confusion -- Nobody has to pay anything if they want to run the transcription locally. But if you run it on our servers, it costs us money, so we have to charge you money. But if all you want to do is record, the device handles all of that -- no subscription required. The only thing that requires a subscription is transcription, IFTTT integration, SMS notifications, etc. And the code is open source -- so if you want to spin up your own private server to do all those things, you'd never have to pay us. We're okay with that (as long as you don't start charging others)
It would be neat if they added Two-Tone decoding support to this so it can be used to monitor fire frequencies for calls and then send that recorded audio to your phone with that IFTTT support. I'm already doing something similar using an old python program called Two-Tone Detect on Windows but it's clunky and only supports sending email notifications. There are many potential uses for a device like this!
I don't think I could be trusted with transmitting recordings on a schedule. I couldn't resist syaing, "If anyone can hear this, my son and I were chased by... something. We were able to escape to this train car. Oh no, it got in, RUN!!!" 😂
I kinda like that it kinda looks like an answering machine from the 2000s. Or at least, if someone from the 2000s were to make up an answering machine that wasn't a weird bubbly silver painted thing and had a bit of fun with the design. :p
@@swingingelephant3415 I definitely liked some of it too but I would say 2000s answering machines were especially uninspired designs. There was some cool looking stuff out then but it was more the stuff that tried to impress by looking more futuristic. Answering machines among many other electronics were just using a novel but still very neutral color to fit in with any decor.
I can't remember the rules specifically, but I think unattended transmissions are not allowed in nearly all circumstances. This came up recently because of some simplex repeaters that were setup and people pointing this out. I'm going to have to brush up on the rules.
You really should have some kind of remote control to knock the thing down in case it loses its mind. I like the Argent Data Systems simplex repeaters for that reason, they're easily controlled via DTMF tone. Also program a timeout timer on the transmit radio to prevent it from hanging up indefinitely.
You mean like the FCC's listening stations around the US? It's technically possible to capture the I/Q of the entire HF spectrum (You can go back and decode ANY transmission) on a relatively inexpensive device like the RX888 (64 MHz bandwidth), the trouble is that it generates enormous volumes of data -- I forget the exact number, but it's something like a gigabyte a minute or ~500 Terabytes per year. And that's just HF. HF to Air would double that, Air to VHF (128-192) another 500 Terabytes, VHF to UHF, UHF -> etc. It goes on and on and on. At some point you'd be capturing dozens or hundreds of terabytes per day. And then there is RAID arrays, and what not. Unless you're Microsoft/Facebook/Amazon/Google or a Nation State, it's just not affordable, especially since there isn't any way to turn the conversations of two 80 year old guys talking about baseball into some form of profit. Possible to capture everything? Sure. Affordable/Profitable? No
@@boondocktechnologies I am wondering if this could be adapted to take an audio feed and convert it to text on a website and or send it as an SMS. I have an idea for a project to send text weather alerts from a broadcast NOAA receiver... NOAA standards for the time an alert is about 2 minutes...
@@unmanaged Absolutely! In fact you can do that now with the IFTTT integration -- send it to website or to SMS. Additionally, we're working on our own SMS authorization so we can bypass IFTTT.

Nope. We don't., We've designed it with security in mind. I'm CEO and I don't even have access to user data. For transcription corrections, users have to individually "opt-in" each message.
