Dave, Suggest you check again, Fusion 360 is still free for personal/non commercial use. I have been using F360 for 3 years now, legally licensed for personal use and have not had to pay a penny for

FreeCad is not as intuitive as AutoDesk Fusion 360, but I am unwilling to pay their exorbitant price for hobby use. I have been designing things with FreeCad [on and

Does anyone see a roller inductor in the making??? They are hard to come by these days and the last one I bought was for a club build project linked here....a LC matching network for end fed half

Hello Jim. Very nice work on the coil form. I test printed your .stl file and it came out perfectly. If you don't mind my asking which CAD application do you use? Some time ago I attempted a similar

Anyone interested in DMR? I have a TYT MD-380 and hotspot (has a small Nextion screen attached). I've used the setup a few times on the weekly net. It works fine. I can run the latest updates to the

Before buying any antenna analyzer you intend to use in the field, make sure the screen is legible in bright sunlight. Many, advertised for the outdoors, are not.

Good experiment Jim, Thanks for sharing. David Martin - NA1MH - Mountain Home, Ar. ----------------------------------------- Wherever I go, there He is.

Ha Ha! Yup, for amateur use, spending 1000+ on a spectrum analyzer vs $65 on a Nano VNA or even maybe a bit more on a "Tiny" spectrum analyzer is pretty huge "overkill" LOL. I have both the Nano VNA

With too much free time for my own good, I did an experiment with 3D printing some spiral grooved coil forms. I was curious if the PLA plastic material used to print would degrade the Q of the
