I'm assuming you mean Q2, not C2? We don't want to confuse an already confused situation. John, AA0VE

“The PCB silk screen is INCORRECT. There are pictures posted that show the transistor installed in the opposite way, these are incorrect."
So... both directions are wrong????

My experience with the Nouveau 75
w9ran <w9ran@...>
I'd been planning to write a review of the Nouveau 75, which has turned into something of a long-winded (hey it's AM right?) summary of my building and troubleshooting experience, along with a few measurements and on-air reports, which I've posted on my website:
http://tinyurl.com/w5saw83 To repeat: I like it, warts and all! The Nouveau 75 is an innovative design, a great value, performs well for what it was intended to do, and is a lot of fun to use. It's the first thing I turn on when I walk into the shack now! 73, Bob W9RAN

Re: Nouveau-75
Thanks Terry I guess the only question is: Is the right side viewing the radio from the front? Thanks Johnny

an earlier email.

"1. The main PCB transistor Q2 must be installed with its large flat face oriented toward the RIGHT side of the board. The PCB silk screen is INCORRECT. There are pictures posted that show the transistor installed in the opposite way, these are incorrect." The manual and schematic are correct . 72 WAØITP I love this radio stuff. www.wa0itp.com www.4sqrp.com On 11/12/2019 11:56 AM, Johnny Matlock

Nouveau-75
Gm all This question came in on the club inquiry email. I’m not sure about the answer so I’m reposting it here? Any ideas guys? Thanks 72 Johnny AC0BQ ---------- Forwarded message ------
Question about Nouveau-75 ,
Q2 is a bit ambiguous. I see on the photo page that, Jeff (WA8SAJ) and AC0BQ have that diode mounted in two opposing directions. There is a note in "errata" on the users group that says "Large flat side to the right". I agree that mounting in the correct orientation is critical , but who did it right? Which side of the board is the "Right" side as noted in the errata?
How do I get a replacement since I probably have it soldered in backwards?
Thank you, Gary KG8LB

Re: Recommendation for a Butane Soldering Iron?

Hi Jim,

Re: Murania Radio Low Audio Outout
nm0s_qrp <ai9e_qrp@...>
One common issue with the Murania is overcoupling between the main coil and the coupling loop. If the circuit is oscillating, that voltage will push the AGC down, reducing the circuit gain. Try sliding the ferrite rod as far to the left (away from the coupling loop) as you can, and reduce the size of the coupling loop also.

Re: Recommendation for a Butane Soldering Iron?
I have fond memories of those old heavy copper soldering irons. The first radio I ever repaired (I was around 11 years old) was done with one of those irons heated on the kitchen stove! The radio was an old Crosley AM/Short Wave table top radio that had blown a dual 20 microfarad 300 volt electrolytic capacitor (power filter) and hummed like crazy. My father was going to throw it out. Local radio shop where I used to hang out (much to my father's dislike) taught me what I needed to know and actually gave me the capacitor. Father quit yelling at me after I laid the radio on the kitchen table, cut out the old cap and soldered in the new replacement. Plugged the radio in and it worked! After that I was allowed to visit the radio shop as much as they would let me. I'd have gotten my ham ticket way back then had I been able to learn CW on my own. CW came later after a year in college when due to financial reasons, I enlisted in the Army Security Agency as a "Morse Intercept Operator" and let Uncle Sam pound it into my head 8 hours a day. Never looked back and CW still my favorite mode of operating. Jim, W0EB

We used these old school irons in little gas ovens to heat them in junior high. I hated using those for soldering sheet metal projects, but eventually got the hang of it. Here's to Mr Roy Vercruysse in 7th grade metal shop. john - n0hj

_Dave_K0MBT <davesters@...>
I have used my propane torch. On long wire runs. Have to be careful with the heat but it did work. Also in the summer have driven my tractor over and used the inverter to drive my weller gun.
Most of the things I need a soldering iron for outside are on the larger side of the normal soldering that I do. I wouldn't mind getting one of those old school irons that you heat with fire or a torch. Like this: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1311.R2.TR1.TRC0.A0.H1.TRS1&_nkw=antique+copper+soldering+iron&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_sop=15&_osacat=0&_odkw=antique+soldering+iron 73 Dave k0mbt Ham_Made_Keys

Re: Recommendation for a Butane Soldering Iron?
I have the Weller Portasol PSI100K Pro and love it. Works out in the cold damp or wet for antenna installation. Couldn’t live without it. Worth every penny.
