Technician Tuesday: Stuck in the mud

I’ve gotten the scanner I mentioned last week turned on and set to the correct state. That’s about as far as I got. I’m still working on how to make it display which frequencies it’s scanning, instead of just showing “Scan.” And I’m definitely appreciating why there’s an active market for third-party user manuals and setup services.

Yesterday I wrote about starting with what you have. I have a lot of hardware gadgets. I also have some software programs. I have this blog. I decided to look up RSS feeds to see if they still exist. Yes, they do. And for WordPress sites, if you type “/feed” after the site address, you’ll probably be able to see the site’s RSS feed. It will be in XML format. There are third party readers to turn the RSS feed into something more human readable. But what does that actually do? I’m not sure.
