I was thinking that a Sony factory is South Wales and a Chinese Fabrication company were the makers of all Raspberry Pi boards. RS (Radio Spares) and Farnell are mere retailers.

My Gasted has been Flabbered. WTF are they thinking, and who on earth is prepared to pay such ludicrous prices...

Yes, I saw an RPi4-2gb in a shop called 'CEX' in Penzance, UK. They were asking £110, it wasn't even a BNIB unit either. total ripoffs.

The joy of seeing an experienced operator demonstrating his skills in conjunction with the correct tools for the job. With the same equipment YMMV.

what does TSA stand for ?

I have never, knowingly, seen a faster fuse than a Transistor.

Murphy checks are more reliable. its either go or no-go. You are assuming the operator knows which way to plug the leads into the meter, and then assumes the operator knows what the meter is trying to

Know nothing about Power Poles but.. Once the electrical contact has been inserted in its housing, is it possible to remove the contact from its housing at a later date ? If so. How?

I use 'miniterm' on linux and it works fine..

I use a dental tool called a 'sickle probe' to lift each pin of the device, one at a time. I'm not sure of its precise name but a search will show you the options, its the one that has a 'dogleg' tip.

I believe that members of GQRP have access to the GQRP Componant shop, where they have BS170. Membership is iirc £8 per year for UK and pro-rata elsewhere. For that you also receive the SPRAT magaine

Hi Folks, I've just found this Oscilloscope/Logic Analyser project that uses a Raspberry Pi Pico board to display waveforms up to 250khz on an Android smartphone. Its very basic and needs refinement b

Juhan, FYI, From the latest release of Raspi OS bullseye, you now have to enter a username on first boot along with all the other bits, pi is no longer the default.

the SI5351 module can be bought from ADAFRUIT in the USA and its easily controlled using arduino UNO or similar...hth.

Well, I've just had the first 6m WSPR swallow here at G8NXD. DL2JA appeared at 15:12 and 15:40 yesterday from JN58 at -23dB, 1193km.for 5w The receiver here is a homebrew crossed dipole at 6m agl and

Thankyou Gyula, I have downloaded the file and will get round to reading it tonight. 73, Mike

Greetings Folks. I need an AM lf/hf signal generator to make my life easier when re-aligning a 9R59 receiver, FM might be useful too. Has anyone achieved this with the SI5351 or an AD9851 ? tnks, Mike

Jared, It would help if we knew where you were located.

the wire in the bag with the toroids is for winding the toroids which are in the bag, the loose wire is for T1 and, iirc, a couple of RFC's
