Look at this on eBay Aircraft Raytheon Window Part of Radar L Band System WMT650 PT6017 28-365-003S Interesting just 4 W input is that 4KW output or 40KW (30 or 40dB gain) No power supply ... Think I

So, not much going on over the weekend, work seems a little quiet, I thought you might like a bit of an update on what I've been up to with my SMD pick and place machine. I usually use it for stuff I

I have a long term problem with my 17 element MET Yagi. The VSWR is rather high at about 6-1 and I cannot risk blowing my new radio! I have no way of taking down my pump up mast to adjust the matching

I wonder if anyone knows if there is any software about that can control a device connected via an SPI bus. There are small compass modules available that are SPI controlled. Along with various PLL mo

Hi All, I am having a thinning out of some of my test gear, getting rid of duplicates, and I have a nice HP432A for disposal. It is complete with its sensor lead and a K486A thermister mount which cov

Currently, I have orders for 65 PCBs, 36 DF9NP local oscillators and lots of component kits and enclosures for the F6BVA 10 GHz to UHF transverters in the group purchase. If by any chance you have mad

Hi all, Practical questions: 1) Going for around 15db of gain on 23cm, home made, would you build a yagi or corner reflector for a home tower installation? 2) The waveguide fed yagi, does this simplif

I've ordered 25 NLB-310 amplifiers as I needed some for making these thermally-tuned cavity oscillators I'm messing with. I bought 25 because, well, why not. I only need 12, so there are 13 spares. Th
