Ask an Elmer is back! Let’s bust some ham radio myths — the kind you’ve heard on the repeater but never quite believed. Got a bit of folklore from the old timers? A rule someone swore was true?

We’re diving into the truths and the tall tales of amateur radio. Chat’s open, mic’s on — let’s separate fact from fiction, and maybe share a laugh or two along the way.

The local radio site security dropped by for a visit

If you want to setup a DIY AllstarLink node without using a Shari, for instance a high powered node – you will need a way of interfacing between the Pi and the radio. Usually that is where a CM108 sound card device comes in – but it needs modding. We talk today about the struggles and, is there any easier way than this?
