I'm hoping to buy a spectrum analyser to cover upto a few GHz. Can anyone recommend any British Isles based surplus / used dealers? Thanks Andy GD1MIP

I'm still celebrating. Andy GD1MIP

3rd time lucky and today we did it. A real 5/9 SSB contact. G0HIK/P to GD1MIP/P. About 45 miles across the sea. Andy GD1MIP

Thanks Andy. I am no longer a member, and I do miss the information. Andy GD1MIP

Bulgaria post tracking is not too accurate in my experience. My 13 & 9cm transverters were still in Bulgaria whilst I was using them. Andy GD1MIP

Thanks to Nick for alerting us all. Even here in GD I got 3 contacts on 13cm. 9cm next. Andy GD1MIP

Colin, I ordered two of their items in August 2020. I had to exchange several emails during the whole process, Looking back I found that some emails received a response within an hour whereas some too

And to think I celebrated GD to G0HIK in Cumbria on 2.4 GHz. Andy GD1MIP

I am putting together two dishes for 13 & 9cm. My plan is a multiband Vivaldi feed with an SMA connector to an SMA on a transverter mounted on the rear of the dish, currently 3w max power, but may go

Folks, I have now got transverters running for 13cm and 9cm. I have successfully used them with small PCB yagi's. My ultimate goal is to make a feed to a NOS 1.2m Andrew dish sitting in my shed, mount

G0HIK OK Nick. Will do. I will be up on the hill with 13cm / 3 ele / 2.5w and 9cm / 5 ele / 3 w. KST should be ok by phone. Is Chris M0KPW? out too Andy GD1MIP

Chris will do. I may yet be stopped by the weather. 50 mph winds, but dry is the forecast. Wind I can deal with, but rain... nothing is in a water resistant case yet. I'll have 3watts maximum. 3 ele y

Thanks Murray G6JYB & Martin GM8IEM for the direction. I have sent the email to PSSRAMATEURS(AT)Ofcom.org.uk and applied for an NOV for the lower end (I know that portion is not allowed in GD but felt

Folks, I have now got working transverters for 13cm and 9cm. Only 3 watts to small PCB yagi's, but a start (1.2m dish next). I plan to try them out tomorrow (27/10/2020) in the UKAC as hopefully I may

Other hikers must laugh at the sight of the man carrying his TV satellite dish to the summit. All credit to you. BTW my 9 & 13cm transverter kits have cleared customs in England so GD to Cumbria soon

Thanks Richard (and all) for the offers. Firstly I got my CX numbers messed up. My 300w 70cm amplifier uses a CX140D on input and a CX600NC on the output. The offending / damaged relay is the CX140D.

Wilko, thanks for replying. I actually don't know what their official name or use was. The above link shows pictures of the identity plates and inside. Either way they are a great source of parts. And

Chris. This thread deals with them. They're part of some Aerial Facilities phone amps. https://groups.io/g/UKMicrowaves/topic/aerial_facilities_1800_mhz/27514059?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky

Just dragging this back to peoples attention. I have been removing useful bits and pieces for projects (switches, plugs, sockets, coax etc) as they're full of quality items. However I have yet to use

Thanks John, The spec says 124 x 94 x 25mm, but it's a PDF that's been around for a year or so. I'll just add some all round. Andy GD1MIP
