21:43 <@Mirage> typos can be funny..
21:43 <@Mirage>  66 Punch Down Block -- White
21:43 <@Mirage> Dimensions: 10' (L) x 2.5" (W) x 1.5" (H)
21:44 <@Mirage> 10 foot 66 block.   that's some serious telephony going on
21:44 <@Mirage> I'd hate to see the amphenol connector and trunk cable that goes to that!
21:53 <@Dagmar> So, I got one of those little rtl-sdr dongles
21:53 <@Dagmar> The reception is _weak_ with the antenna it came with
21:57 <@Mirage> don't really know that I would expect too much from one
21:59 <@Dagmar> Well, I bought two 433Mhz temperature and humidity sensors like go with the LCD clocks for $13 and the dongle for $21 so I ain't exactly out much
21:59 <@Dagmar> ...but if I expect to read the electrical meter or the water meter with this thing I'm going to need a better antenna
22:00 <@Dagmar> So, after quite a bit of digging on Amazon I've got a 10db antenna tuned to 433Mhz and an MCX male to SMA female adapter coming my way
22:07 <@Dagmar> the irritating thing is that the LCD clock on the wall can still hear _it's_ sensor but it's too faint for this dongle to pick up
22:08 <@Dagmar> If the thing runs stably, all that really remains is sorting out a way to make these readings available over snmp
22:08 <@Dagmar> I'm going to have to scrounge around Raspbian and find some kind of ram disk
22:09 <@Dagmar> No way in hell am I setting something up to write to a microSD card every five minutes
