Hi Steve if the Heil Sound AD-1-IM is the right cable and I think it is, then it is cheaper to buy a Heil one over here. I might do what Andy suggested and roll my own because they are expensive for w

Forgot to mention my sequencer does not use any microprocessor. It is a very simple and reliable oft copied design. https://vhfdesign.com/other/sequencer-pcb.html 73 Conrad

Hi Andy, so the EXTIO connector CAT works in parallel with the normal USB CAT? It is possible that I will do this in the future, however I have a deep mistrust of using CAT PTT generally. I like a sim

Good morning, I asked this on the Elad reflector, but it is not busy and I know lots of you guys are using the FDM-DUO, so I thought that I would ask here. Is there a ready-made cable that allows me t

If you are not in the thick of it, and if the lower bands are anything to go by then you need persistence. Eventually ‘they’ realise that you will be there and that they can work you. Then they will c

Hi John, the armatures are passed through a hole (not a slot) in the spacers so that is not possible from what I can see. Looking at this photo you can see better: https://prnt.sc/I-cXgE2Mnt-f So, the

I am not sure I follow you. Each connector is associated with an armature. NC is connected to the N type. The individual connectors are screwed into tapped holes in the body. The solenoid is not symme

Correct. 73 Conrad

John that is not an option. I can’t run 2m EME through an N type, let alone an adapter. I tried to explain in my original email. I am concerned about heat that is the clue. There is no need to remove

Hello Dave. This is a big lump of metal as you can see in the photo. I was hoping to use a small nozzle air gun for the job because I don’t have a 150W soldering iron. You are right about lead free be

I found a similar product here and it appears to have a low melting point of 216 deg C, that is not desirable as connectors can get hot. Maybe I am worrying over nothing, but a higher temperature sold

Hello Robin, thanks. Do you know the melting temperature of this stuff? Also why do you recommend lead free? I have to use lead free occasionally for re-work at my workplace and I am not fond of it. O

Hello all I just picked up a pair of nice relays, HCS3000/144 combi. They have 2 x 7/16 connectors and 1 x N. This is very useful as the N connector may be used for the connection to an LNA. However,

What a lovely view, I do miss hills! 73 Conrad PA5Y

Hello gentlemen. I am looking for a 20cm long cable with a male 7/16 on one end and a male N type on the other. It is an RX cable so loss is my primary concern. Something like Sucoflex 106 or similar

I already do that John but I wanted something self-contained that can run off a single antenna. I have an 8 channel G4HUP distribution amplifier which does a good job. I am surprised that you thought

I received an answer from Leo Bodnar that this combination is not possible, so 2 x GPSDO mini again. Regards Conrad PA5Y

Hello to all owners of the 2 channel Leo Bodnar GPSO. Could you please check that the following frequency combination is possible? 10.000 MHz 749.600 MHz Many thanks Conrad PA5Y

Hello Gary, thank you. I did look at that because of an email received this morning. It is quite expensive, and I already have the items needed for the approach that I described. However, I will keep

For those who don’t know what an IQ+ is. It is a 2-channel coherent downconverter that outputs IQ pairs for use with a 4-channel soundcard, this can be used for adaptive reception or for generating mu
