Just get a BC75XLT, they are cheap. You can program it via usb/serial. Also useful as a weather radio.

God help me I am insane for trying this but gently caress it, it’s time. I’m taking Friday afternoon off, picking up our twin 4 year old boys from preschool, then pulling our almost 7 year old daughter from school a little early and taking them all to the track. I figure fast Friday would be the best time for them to go because I want them all to see just how fast they can go. Wish me luck!

Mostly how to lockout channels and/or banks of channels. I set mine up where bank 1 holds race control, radio/tv frequencies, etc, and I also throw ones for any support series in there as well. Each subsequent bank is programmed with all the driver frequencies per series, I.e bank 2 INDYCAR, bank 3 nascar. That way it’s easy to just remove lockout on bank #1 and it will immediately hop to 454.000 since it’s the first slot on the bank. Sometimes there will be digital noise on a driver frequency and you’ll need to lock that channel out from scanning as well. devmd01 fucked around with this message at 16:35 on May 19, 2021 |

Just earpro for today. I brought the scanners and ear buds to fit underneath the muffs but I had enough going on with taking them solo and didn’t get them out.

I just hope the forecast holds, the weather looks to be fantastic. I know what I’m getting into every year in the SW vista but it’s nice to not completely bake in the sun all day.

I don’t expect that there will be any running today, it’s gonna drizzle allll day long. Oh well, I’m fine with donating $15 to the track. If anyone is still going today and wants a free ticket, I can get you my digital one.

I met a former coworker at metazoa instead, that was a better choice. They had it up on the TVs anyways, looked liked some good racing.

This season has been fantastic so far. Quality field, solid racing, fierce rookies showing people what they’ve got and winning, so many different winners, a tight championship race, and lots of good drama and storylines throughout, especially newgarden’s continued incredibly bad luck. The 500 alone with Helio winning was just the cherry on top of a great race.

Arrow McLaren SP is hiring an IT Admin. It’s a drat shame that there’s no way they could/would pay me enough, plus the extensive travel is a non-starter now that I have 3 kids. From reading the listing, it sounds like McLaren proper has fully taken over their IT infrastructure.

That video hit me hard. Between my father and father in law’s aggressive cancer struggles and what happened to Bob and his wife, that sucks all around. Glad I watched it after everyone was in bed last night, I was a crying mess.

I’m not gonna bother to reprogram from the 500. I only listen to radio chatter during restarts and pit sequences, the rest of the time is IMS radio with a smattering of the TV audio frequencies.

Laughing at this excerpt from an INDYCAR.com article: quote:Newgarden was particularly pleased with the oversized champagne bottles offered to the top-three finishers of Saturday night’s race. He said he planned to speak to INDYCAR’s owner – a guy named Roger Penske – about getting them for every race.

God dammit. Between my father, father in law, and Bob/Robin I kind of hate cancer a whole lot!

Went to a new (to me) brewery today in Indy with a friend and it’s definitely worth a stop if you’re in town for the 500. Good-rear end beer but more importantly they worked with a historical preservation group to fix up the building because it was the Boyle Racing team headquarters. As in, the ones that ran Wilbur Shaw for his wins. https://cbs4indy.com/this-morning/g...0-themed-brews/ http://boyleraceteam.org/ They even have a room with the rebuilt team hauler, a car, and lots of pictures.

Man, it’s too bad Baltimore couldn’t keep going, it was actually a decent race once they got some of the stupid poo poo out of the way. The first year was a complete clusterfuck though, the promoter had no idea of what he was doing.

14 out of the 17 races will be on NBC proper this year. The only races that aren't on NBC are Detroit, Toronto, and St. Louis.
