So we have the UV-7DS D-Star model along with the ability to open the UV-5R to almost limitless frequencies... and now we have K3NXU with SSTV on his UV-5R!

Xiegu X1M: Hands On
Neil (W2NDG) has a review of the X1M. Head over to check out the details as I won't steal his thunder other than to quote:
"I think the little X1M has a nice future in my collection. It’s no KX3, but for about $300, it’s a nice little radio."
TYT TH-UVF8D
Adding another dual band HT to the line-up from TYT... the TH-UVF8 for $59.80 from the 409Shop. Link to the TYT site for the TH-UVF8. Forget the specs buy it for the yellow (see pic) or the blue.
Hate HSBC
I closed an HSBC on-line savings account. Apparently, closing an account does not stop automatic transfers into the closed account. That's absolutely moronic and feels like theft.
They say the money will be put back today, so maybe the recovery will be a better experience, but my blood pressure is just coming back done.

Robots
I've come across a couple of robot items...
Who are the robots? An interesting short story that made me think about what it means to be human. Or a robot.
Robot for POTUS? Lord help us; I hope not.

AK Centerfire
I had one of the AK Centerfire water guns when I was a kid. I remembered the Laser Tag kit I had, but I had completely forgotten about the AK. Good times.

Referring to the UV-5R tri-band capability:
(The famous $3.71 antenna that turned out to be a really good deal.)
