You had stated the volume button does not function. Well, you can fix all non-working buttons. Just take apart the remote, take the part of the remote where the keys touch the board and the rubber mat thingy, turn that rubber mat thingy upside-down and you'll see black dots. Now, go get your ass some very worm water with a splash of dish soap and cotton rag or q-tip and dip in soap water and rub the board then dry, take the rubber mat thingy along with your wet soapy rag and clean each and every dot. Those two parts you just cleaned, let them completely dry before putting them back into the clicker. Once dried, put the two parts you just cleaned and put that clicker back together. All keys should work unless the black dots are warn out, then you'll need to come up with a way to attach aluminum foil over the warn out dots.

I think it's funny that you were complaining about your radio not being able to go slow enough for the lower frequencies. Back in the day we were all griping about radios not being fast enough for the higher frequencies.

I wouldn't say AM sounds bad due to the transmission so much as most modern AM receivers suck. The local AM stations sound like poo in my car but great on my Yaesu on the desk, Then again I bought my first few cars for less then this radio.

that CBS Colorado broadcast is probably an uplink from the studio to a transmitter and you were close enough to the path to pick it up.

@@SimonVideo it wouldn’t be an STL. It will be a means of communication from studio to reporters / crews in the field. I assume it’s for a tv station. But at some of the radio stations I’ve worked at, we’ve had something similar for remote broadcasts too.

You might also have fun seeing if you can pull in any digital shortwave stations although the sensitivity of the RTLSDR might not be enough to pull in most of the distant ones in, WWV at isn't that far away in Ft Collins, CO it can be heard at 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz. One of the most common digital shortwave modes is called DRM (Digital Radio Mondaile). I got to attend a lecture from one of the guys that helped design it while I was working at a shortwave broadcast station in Guam.

450 MHz is outside the 70cm ham radio band. That's an IFB your packed up from one of the radio stations. Most stations don't use them anymore. It's for remote broadcasts. They can listen to the broadcast and the people back at the station without the public hearing it. 73 KD5VQD

Hey, I know my comment does not relate to this video but I wanted to ask, have you tried out hrc modulators? They are essentially what actual cable tv uses, and I’ve seen them on Amazon. The reason I think they are important because this means we could use TiVos with the cable only function, or certain cable boxes with this, and also the way to test it without the cable box is if the tv identifies it as cable. If you would be able to do this, would you make a video on it? Btw they are like 34$ on Amazon and are blonder tounge ones

Having an easy way to use Whisper and edit the output before exporting is great, it's the best speech to text model that I'm aware of, and while I have dabbled with it, the extent of my dabbling has been testing it in a command line, which isn't practical for video editing. In terms of video editing, when I was on Premiere, I used its built in auto captioning, which isn't nearly as accurate as Whisper, but still leagues better than YT auto captioning (also giving you the ability to manually edits subs), and allowing me to export the subtitle file alongside the video file. Now I'm on DaVinci due to a long time interest in switching, as well as my strong dislike of Adobe's recent TOS changes, and as far as I know, DaVinci doesn't have an auto captioning tool like Premiere does, so what you have shown here is perfect for me, especially since I am working on projects where good quality subtitle files aren't optional, they're mandatory.
