Sorry that this is sort of noise on this thread, but can I just thank Dan for giving a really good, informed and balanced response that doesn't immediately 'dis' a claim that there might be a problem, but instead provides good advice in the same kind of way that a knowledgeable friend would.

Thanks, but I think to be scientific, you really need to test a radio before and after programming. If you see a difference between those two, *and* have both the original and modified images then that's definitely worth looking at. And again, just saying the power output is different doesn't tell us whether or not it's drive, alignment, etc that is off. A hardware problem is much more likely to be the kind of thing that is caused by something else, and we humans think "you know, I programmed this with software, so that must be the problem." --Dan _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.chirpmyradio.com/postorius/lists/users.lists.chirpmyradio.com <https://lists.chirpmyradio.com/postorius/lists/users.lists.chirpmyradio.com> To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> To report this email as off-topic, please email [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> List archives: https://lists.chirpmyradio.com/hyperkitty/list/[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>/ _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.chirpmyradio.com/postorius/lists/users.lists.chirpmyradio.com To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] To report this email as off-topic, please email [email protected] List archives: https://lists.chirpmyradio.com/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/
