Même France Inter, qui ne dit pas un mot du procès de l'Afrique du Sud contre Israel, pour #Génocide le 11 janvier 2024 ! (la raréfaction des distributeurs d'argent, c'est plus intéressant).
Même France Culture, qui laisse des députés RN déblatérer de Grand Remplacement à la veille des élections européennes sans aucune contradiction ! (alors que les chiffres sont là pour démonter cette foutaise).

I pulled a few #radios out of storage yesterday. One of them is a Retekess V115, which has a built-in recorder. I tried it out for a couple of airchecks and discovered some things I didn't know. First, it records in the MPEG Layer *2* format, i.e. MP2, *not* Layer 3 (MP3). It appears this means higher quality at the cost of larger file sizes, though the format is still based on lossy compression. The bitrate is 320 kbps. Another notable thing is that it retains the 13 kHz low-pass audio filter that its predecessor model, the Tivdio V-115, had. This really is not necessary for recording FM radio, which is limited to a 15 kHz top frequency response anyway. For FM airchecks, this is probably OK. I would still prefer to have lossless formats but the Retekess is a good backup for strong local signals. As a radio, it's a bit mediocre, not having the reception performance that other DSP-based radios have. All of this also gave me the excuse to explore support for the MP2 format on various platforms. Most programs that support MP3 also support MP2. The Retekess appends "MP3" to the names of the files it creates, but the programs' decoders automatically figure out the correct format. The only problem I ran into was on Android devices. They don't recognize an "mp2" suffix as a music format, and there appears to be no way of making them do so. So the workaround is to ensure that those files have an "mp3" suffix, and then things work.

It's either this, or talk about politics, which I don't want to do right now.

Es ist schon komisch!

So, the ham radio folks who have been telling me there will be no fallout from Israel using exploding (fake/counterfeit) Icoms

Flightaware: "Dubai's Emirates Airlines has banned passengers from carrying pagers and walkie-talkies on its flights, following last month's attacks on Lebanese group Hezbollah involving communication devices that exploded."

Seems like opsec calls for disassembling all your HTs in the future and going with AA and *NOT* Lithium-ion battery packs (which are typically sealed and inaccessible/cannot be inspected). Not that I would expect a "explode your Icom" (or insert-your-favorite-radio-brand) attack here in the US, but seems like Pandora's box has been opened in terms of supply chain contamination... #terror #radios #hamradio

The group, which was thrown briefly into disarray by the #pager attacks, said on Wednesday it had attacked Israeli artillery positions w/rockets in the first retaliatory strike at its arch-foe since blasts wounded thousands of its members in #Lebanon & raised the prospect of a wider #MiddleEast #war.

The hand-held #radios were purchased by #Hezbollah 5 months ago, around the same time that the pagers were bought, said a #security source.

Continued thread

Hand-held #radios used by #Hezbollah detonated late on Wednesday afternoon across #Lebanon's south & in #Beirut's southern suburbs, a #security source & a witness said, further hiking tensions w/ #Israel a day after similar #explosions launched via the group's #pagers. At least one of the blasts took place near a funeral organized by #Iran-backed Hezbollah for those killed the previous day.
