If you have a #qrz1 Explorer HT and programmed it with CHIRP and it does a weird thing where it's receiving a signal from a repeater but it will not break the squelch, I found a workaround that should at least fix the issue for some of the repeaters:

In CHIRP go to View -> Show Extra Fields

In your saved QRZ-1 config find the affected repeater(s)

Change the Optional Signaling option to OFF

Save the config and upload it to the radio

Fixing the Explorer QRZ-1/CHIRP ‘Tone Squelch’ Issue

I recently got my ham radio license. More on that in a different post maybe. For this post: The Explorer QRZ-1 handheld transceiver has a weird sort-of-bug and I think I figured out how to fix it.

I am really loving my WaveLog site. It's nice to have a web-based logging platform that automatically uploads to all of the QSL sites. You can also see if I'm online by checking out my QRZ site (link on my profile).

Researching mines in northern Spain I came across this curious object. It's a canary cage designed to keep the canary alive in the event of a gas leak. If a miner saw the canary laying at the bottom of the cage it was time to abandon everything and leave the mine, but not without first closing the latched glass door and opening the valve of the oxygen bottle to save the bird. A miner would do that on their way out and take the bird with them. It's a signifier of the miner's legendary sense of solidarity, no lives lost to the mine on a miners watch. A solidarity that was also crucial in the fight for workers rights, creating safer and more humane working conditions, achievements of unionization and solidarity that some of us still enjoy today.
