I was finally fed up with scam phone calls so I went into my home phone account and turned on spam call blocking. I received calls as expected until my neighbour e-mailed asking why he couldn't call me.

After asking him about it he was being dumped to voicemail with no opportunity but to leave a message. The system had identified him as a scam caller and that was the expected action.

I opened a chat with Rogers/Shaw tech support and explained the issue. There were long pauses between answers and the support person told me that she was dealing with 2 of us at the same time.

Resources to understand programming DMR channels for my TYT MD9600 radio are not all that great, at least as far as I have been able to find. I decided to see what ChatGPT could do for one of my local repeaters, VE7MIR.

This website is the new home of timschewe.ca.

I have finally got it running and available to the outside world.

I will eventually add content here, but I usually devote the most time to DriveSmartBC, my road safety hobby.
