SGLabs without a doubt. Recently ordered a 2.320GHz amp and it came within 4 weeks..

Martin, my 3m stretch of ultraflex 13 which I use at home for rotator loop has lasted about 2 years now with no noticeable degradation, but as already mentioned it's a consumable at end of the day and

With your setup Martin, think about sticking the sglab pa/preamp at masthead, will mean less worry about losses. I use one /P masthead with wimo 44 ele, about 12m of hyperlex 13 and m&p plugs. If I'm

If you want to offload one the boards Colin let me know, I wouldn't mind running two BAO amps into a hybrid combiner/splitter (I have two of these).

Thanks Colin, yes I have the original article in Microwave Projects, it doesn't make it clear if you remove one tab from the top (or bottom) of the tuning strip, and then proceed to the other end (if

Taken delivery of original BAO amp which is working but needs output tuning. Input vswr is fine. Built one before (NTG clone) which didn't need tuning. I take it the procedure is to remove one soldere

All sorted now, been offered a complete board!

Anyone got a spare mrf9045 or equivalent they'd like to sell for the original BAO board (I took a punt on one off eBay and it was a dud, say no more!)? Failing that I'll buy one new one, just thought

David (ASR), you are extremely lucky to live in a spot free of interference. I have interference right through 160m up to 13cm here. The usual SMPSU type noise (multiple sources) on HF and 6m (also 2m

Thanks guys, looks like I'll be parking up in my van next to local cellphone masts with patch feed+ tvtr+rsp1a and PC to confirm before sorting out some filtering! At least I won't get any funny looks

Thanks Sam, the SGlab has several LO combos so that is a possibility!

Afternoon all, had my first foray on 13cm terrestrial on Tuesday SHF UKAC. Nothing special, SG lab TVTR, homemade patchfeed (see Radcom July 2021, thanks to John BAO for help in getting it in publishe

The answer to this is depends on what you want to achieve. If you are looking at digital modes then yagi array and QRP will almost certainly get you QSO's with some of the 'big guns' on 23cm. Starting

Just wondered what sockets and plugs people are using for masthead mounted stuff containing LNA amps etc. Have some new projects to box up now, want to make a decent weatherproof job of it.

TNX info guys. It appears to be a Mk-2 looking at internals. My SG lab preamp has a gain of 11dB so clearly although this SSB amp is amplifying in a fashion it is well down on the 20dB it should be. I

Have received an ssb electronics 23cm preamp to have a look at for local club. It is amplifying but is around 10db down on my sg lab amp/preamp. Anyone had any experience of these before I take it to

TNX Pete and others who replied (by Email), all sorted. As regards mounting I found an article where someone mounted their dish on it's side. Anyway next step is to get out at some stage (once I sort

Quick (and possibly daft!) question (still learning as far as uwaves go). Going to venture out /P for first time soon on 13cm terrestrial. I will be trying an 85cm offset TVRO dish which I have used t

Chris, I also use a 1.8m TVRO dish for Es'Hail. I'd agree with what has been said that the focal point is not usually where cacluated. My POTY fits nicely inside a purchased LNB holder using two 22mm

Anyone got an mrf9060ls or equivalent for a g7ntg BAO clone amp they'd be willing to sell me? Thanks Andy G0FVI
