Hi John and Terry, Several companies makingPCBs will accept the files from ExpressPCB (Futurlec.com, Far Circuits,etc.). Also, you can convert the ExpressPCB files to Gerber files using aprogram

Thanks for the heads-up Chuck, I did a quick calculation and it is WAAAAY cheaper than ExpressPCB for production. I guess I can use some of my "downtime" to get some board designs finished. 72/3 es

And if you design the board with ExpressPCB software, you can then use the files with Futurlec and get even a single board made for less money. I try to label the PCBs with enough text info etched on

Terry: go to Expresspcb.com and you can download similar free software. They have express_sch and express_pcb. Both are very similar to each other in operation, except one makes

This is being discussed on EMRFD and it seems amazing to me. Draw your schematic and the program fills in the part numbers and creates a Digikey project and order at the same time. Check it

Luckily Christmas is supposed to be around 40F here so I hope to get some ice melted off my antennas. My random wire was hanging low this weekend. -- Tom Sevart N2UHC St. Paul, KS

Chuck,Thanks! That's exactly the information I needed. I ordered some of the polivaricon capacitor kits from Rex Harper at qrpme.com about a month ago, but he's been busy assembling kits for the

Jim, The lower frequency is typical of the Rock-mights too. In most circuits with parallel resonant crystals, a series capacitor/trimmer will raise the frequency. An inductor in series will lower

I will be away on christmas eve with family so I would like to eliminate our PSK net for this week. Tnx for your understanding and Merry Christmas. Dick, N0TGR

Well it's forced me to do something I likely should have done months ago, replace the timber mast with a sectional metal one I have ready to go. just wait a few more days for the wx to improve and
