"The release went on to state that “[d]espite being engaged in a heated conference game, both teams set aside their battle to show support for a football player, regardless of which uniform he wore. The act displayed both great sportsmanship by the teams gathered as one support unit as well as the impact that Lattimore had on his sport.”"

Sportsmanship
Very cool...

Training
Watch the video, but read the commentary at ENDO's place. I've seen some of the Magpul videos, but I don't have the Dynamic ABS set.

Leixen VV-808: VV-808S
Just noticed this while looking for an English manual:
PRODUCT NAME: VV-808S
And this:
PRODUCT NAME: VV-808S
DTMF / two tone signaling / identification code, Stun / remote halo / activate full-featured voice encryption and other security safeguards your call,
12V, 24V adaptive.
And this:
VV-808S car radio upgrade notification
VV-808S is a VV-808 based on the upgrade, upgrade more powerful, microphone in hand to support the company's UP / DO function, 12V/24V adaptive, the convenience of our size car customers.
Leixen VV-808: Pop
I've got an annoying "pop" from the radio. I hear it every 10 seconds or so and then it won't happen for a minute. I bought a cheap antenna (MFJ-1721) to use with the VV-808. (I hate to spend a ton on accessories for my cheap radios. Also, that was what was in the big box.) My trouble-shooting has been limited to disconnecting the microphone (pop still occurs) and disconnecting the antenna (popping stops).
I'm back on the road again, so I don't expect to figure anything out today.

iRadio UV-588
Hans takes a look at the iRadio UV-588. (Not to be confused with iTunes Radio.)Basic specs are here. His first impressions are here. The full review is here.
It sounds like he thought he had a really good one on his hands until he discovered problems in harmonic suppression.

Leixen VV-808: Power and APRS
Both via F4FWH...
First, power measurements:
High power was measured at 6.5W drawing 1.3A.
Low power was 5.5W and 1A.
Second, on the same page as the power measurements, a wiring diagram for APRS. (PDF)
Lastly, the list of components for building the APRS solution.

Leixen VV-808: Frequency Ranges in the software
I noticed this drop down while playing with the software.
It probably doesn't mean anything - just a convenience for writing one program to support all versions of the radios, but something I'll want to play with once I've actually made a contact. I'd hate to brick it before I ever hit the transmit button.
