  1. I was skeptical because there are so many versions of these quick connectors and quite a vast pricing range all the way up to $45 apiece at mouser claiming scientific tolerances… but I went for it and I ordered two of these from ebay. For 15 bucks total incl shipping it is worth to try a pair https://www.ebay.com/itm/266290876999?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20240315132637%26meid%3D9da9e3f9ea6f414abfa89b08fc65cbc4%26pid%3D102055%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26mehot%3Dnone%26itm%3D266290876999%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2Mobile&_trksid=p4375194.c102055.m146925&_trkparms=parentrq%3A77a45a3818e0a24247dd5122fffff9c4|pageci%3A9795236f-eaf3-11ee-9ac7-06f0f82b2ea2|iid%3A1|vlpname%3Avlp_homepage
  2. Wow they are getting so sophisticated at scamming. I really wish someone would ride out the wave and see how far they could take it “reverse prank” style and share the details for our amusement. Nosborne you seemed to get close to creating real agitation on the part of the scammer
  3. Wow I got this text yesterday as well and glad i ignored it
  4. I have been using these quick connect adapters on my sna antennas for about six months now. Highly recommend if you switch often between ENG and cart antenna setups. I’ve used them in mission critical jobs and it allowed flexibility to swap a bunch of antenna setups quickly. https://www.americanradiosupply.com/sma-male-female-quick-disconnect-push-on-coaxial-adapter-connectors/
  5. in 2024 this is still not clear airport to airport. I have been flying a bunch carry-on only lately. Calling it a Fish pole or mono pod seems to work and a mono pod it is authorized for carry-on bags specifically. But it truly is up to the discretion of whoever pulls your bag aside. Total gamble and I feel a bit risky with an expensive boom pole. Oh my aluminum traveler is compact and expendable if it came down to it as I knew I could bill for a replacement in a pinch with those I travel with. I typically will add a second pool in a checked bag or in one of their SKB golf bag cases if Camera Dept I am traveling with Will allow me to
  6. This is great info as i myself have been struggling with air travel and a boom pole that works for me. I have a shorty ktek aluminum traveler that i dread using but it fits my carry on
  7. The XR makes sense to try since “stereo or xr” is the option for those being in the same family. I will also do an update check and try this all out again
  8. I did a 2x mic stereo 743 car to car rig that worked great in practice but had some squirrelly reception issues to work around. I was able to rig a sharfin antenna to the 743 and transmission was awesome. Curious if anyone here might have run into this as it seems not to be as cut n dry as it should be. 2x 414 modules in my nova. I noticed when setting a 414 module to stereo mode in my nova i had to reboot and follow a weird sequence in order to get it to work and also for a secondary wireless to work in the same module. 414 no1 - rx1 n rx2 all set to zhd96 and all 4x ch receivers show green = good reception 414 no2 - rx3 set to stereo and rx4 set to zhd96 - receivers show full red like it is trying work, but i have to toggle format on ea between zhd96 and stereo and then go back to setup/slot2 power off n back on to get this 414 module to show green and get good reception when a stereo trx is involved. with this config above, i have to repeat this process each time i power off the nova and power back up. Otherwise, 414 no1 shows full 4x green and 414 no2 shows full red until i “burp” the module as mentioned above. It appears turning on stereo reception throws my 414’s into a tizzy. in a perfect world i would just love for this to work as intended and be able to fluidly go in and out of these stereo and zhd setups. Like a camera link from a 2nd car bag to my nova car to car on the fly. My work around might have to be an rx200 dedicated to stereo configs in the future. Curious if anyone has history with stereo modes over the years that might help me understand as i recall this being similar with qrx receivers in the past.
  9. Wow - an amazingly detailed read and I admire where your head is at. Always looking to improve and fine tune nova workflow. A pipe dream but to tag onto your idea of other possibilities - i wonder if the urx interface adding even what would be a 3rd pi to this config can all coexist. bluetooth keyboarding text into urx receivers etc
  10. Found a ring light to try and show the card reader pins:
  11. Did a recording last night of several people speaking at a celebration of life event. I used my zaxcom maxx recorder with freshly formatted media. This morning i went to download the card and could not get it to read on my computer. I tried the card back inside the machine and could no longer mount it. Tried several card readers, no luck. Panic ensued as this was an extremely important recording for our family to preserve. Come to find out - the card reader I had used had a pin in the middle of the top row that had bent and combined to the pin below forcing both pins into the bottom row hole of the card. I tried even a tiny strand of copper inserted into the hole and then into a card reader very gently to see if i could make contact with the receiving end. no luck. Last resort - take the card apart. I thought this might be cool to see the guts inside. A small sized screw driver at the sides works great to pry it open. You can sort of see (sorry old iphone camera) in the last image where i point with a needle that the receiver copper piece similar to the receivers inside a female TA3 or XLR connector was pushed off of the solder bed and when I cracked it open it was loose inside. I was able to use tweezers to gently push it back into the hole maintaining contact with the solder bed and also gently insert into a card reader - PRESTO! What i thought might be a damaged recording media situation ended up being purely mechanical and an easy DIY fix. I highly recommend brand name card readers as they are all I will be using here on out.
  12. Does anyone use a thumb trackball mouse doing audio post that you might recommend that works with Monterey and above? I recently upgraded and seem to have lost my precision movements on the track ball with the Kensington version that I have. I have a feeling they’re software for Apple might be finicky on this operating system
  13. This is a weird one hope i am explaining correctly. Using a cedar DNS 2 with digital i/o in the same config i have been for quite a while. Today suddenly i am experiencing +10dB at the digital output only on left channel output. All levels at digital input are equal dual mono levels and processing on screen of the dns 2 is showing equal level processing. Currently set to stereo mode “D1= / =D2”. Very odd as just used the other day with no issues. Started today upon firing it up. Wondering if anyone has an ideas.
  14. For years I have used these types of sleds Velcro’ed to the back of Lectro And zaxcom receivers. Works great with these slim or slightly larger sony np style batts depending weight vs swap time: (photo shows how it comes stock but easy to rewire to your connector needs) https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07VX7JXFC?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
  15. i stayed the course with OMF separated and for me it has solved the problems I was having. So far so good only because everyone I receive from has been using premiere.
