Andy, KE5FX pops up on the HP/Agilent HP group.io so perhaps he could help cheers Geoff GI0GDP And i spent many a night in the North Sea plotting with the HP plotter, wasn't fun when it missed a pen f

Hi Howard, Just some consolation as i raise you by a factor of 10,i put 240 into 12v transceiver i had built. I thought i had put the mains supply into but i had to go away for a month and forgot. Any

Hi Ben, Perhaps then at microwave RTs a workshop facility could be provided for newbies and the agenda set by them. cheers Geoff GI0GDP

Hi Ben, What are your LO and IF signals levels?, the device does get warm at 12v you can run it at 8v. Normally 0 dBm from both inputs is enough, How many filters are you using? cheers Geoff GI0GDP

Would you not think of using a YIG oscillator instead of a synth? cheers Geoff GI0GDP

Just looked at the RadCom RSGB band plan and so are personal beacons in:- 10,400-10,475 MHz or under local beacons:- 10,368.750 to 800 MHz cheers Geoff GI0GDP

Hi Steve, Thanks for info but i need the oldie X96 what multiplies 108MHz to 10368 MHz cheers Geoff GI0GDP

Does DB6NT still do these x96 multipliers?, cant find them on his site cheers Geoff GI0GDP

Hi Neil, A 6watt device and the wrong band but might be worth a go, perhaps Ebay 202850388726 Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing.cheers Geoff GI0GDP

HI John, If you feel inclined to roll your own have a look here DATVPA .io group DATVPA groups.io Group DATVPA groups.io Group Information on Jims G7NTG DATV PA for QO-100 cheers Geoff GI0GDP

Hi Ben, Have a good look at this http://f6kbf.free.fr/html/ADF4351%20and%20Arduino_Fr_Gb.htm If i managed to do it 4 times then anyone can! cheers Geoff GI0GDP

It has a controller board if you page down the screen, so you can select only certain freqs Geoff

Ben, Is this the pcb with 5 buttons for setting? Anyway the best spectral route is SV1AFN ADf4351 Module ADf4351 Module 35-4400 MHZ PLL Synthesizer cheers Geoff GI0GDP

Chris, A better place for your query good luck Geoff GI0GDP HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment groups.io Group HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment groups.io Group This group is dedicated to the maintenance, repa

Hi John, If you go this route i have some real BFG591s if you need one ( which work at 13cms also) cheers Geoff GI0GDP

Hi Dave, My divide by 10 ( 2 then 5) 10 GHz prescaler using Hittite dividers merrily oscillates at 1/2 a GHz if i remember and then locks and behaves from inputs at about -15dBm onwards. I think there

Hi Howard, My G2 3cm transverter just has 106.5 Mhz direct into the osc FET with the xtal removed. The source is a ADF4351 feed from a 10 MHz doube ovened OCXO. Why bother with the xtal? cheers Geoff

Hi Andy, Speak to Neil G4BDN on this subject File:Mmrt 2015 1296MHz PAs.pdf - UK Microwave Group Wiki File:Mmrt 2015 1296MHz PAs.pdf - UK Microwave Group Wiki Geoff GI0GDP

Thanks all, i will give a 2 flute mill a try, this 4 flute is digging in, oh and more rpm cheers Geoff GI0GDP

Is it any better to use a 2 flute mill instead of a 4 flute end mill to cut slots in copper plate said slot is for LDMOS device to be soldered in, cheers Geoff GI0GDP
