Question about the Arrow 2m/70cm handheld yagi:
Are they 90° for any reason other than making it easier to tune each band?
Or do the birds tend to have their antennas 90° offset from each other for that same reason?
See, I'm new to this, & so far, only FM. Struggling to understand how to tell if I'm only listening for polarization-fade on the downlink, or if I simultaneously need to concern myself with the orientation of the uplink.

@km6ecc @Rayston there's also some fun to be had with #LoRaAPRS on the same boards as #meshtastic.
Anyone here successfully used aprsdroid on a phone with no headphone jack? I.e using a USB-C to audio adapter cable plug into the radio?

I am here to learn and explore radio, I am mostly interested in Digital Text Modes. IRLP, mesh networking, radio packet stuff, SDR, basically anything that allows me to mix computers and radio. Studying for license.
