As a software developer and IT technician, I’m less interested in the "magic" of radio signals and more focused on bridging the gap between software and hardware. I treat professional, military, and commercial radios as data transport layers—experimenting with SSH over DMR, digital data transmission, and solar-powered IT infrastructure.

I acquire surplus gear and customer returns to document the process of restoring it to service or repurposing it for modern digital communication needs.

Every bit goes toward hardware for the lab. Thanks for being part of the community! 🛠️ Quick look at expanding capacity on my Thunderbolt array used with Apple M2 MacBook. PS: If You read that, I apologize for lack of proper screen capture from configuration but after two days of work & keeping eye to record those moment's when array was close to being rebuild - I realized it recorded screen capture 1 frame per minute and footage was unusable so I had to throw it out from video.... I was close to just deleting this whole project - but decided You still can enjoy it just not as step by step tutorial.
