Interesting list as always. The SDR finding the jammer item looked interesting but I gave up after a few minutes. Found it to be a terrible presentation. I got past his “peanut butter stained fingers”, wasn’t sure about his invite to curl up with him for his story but it just kept rambling.
Maybe I’m getting cranky in my old age but if you are making a video just get to the point.
The finger licking wasn’t great! But skipping through the video and seeing the software work, especially on the mobile app was really interesting. It’s quite the device.
