Bobby and all, I sell bare PC boards for one of the Chinese AD9850 modules controlled by an Arduino Nano. This board interfaces to a LCD display and encoder. Software is also available. I get $6 + shi

Hi Terry, So who should I submit my mileage to? From my house to the hotel is 389 miles. Multiply by two equals 778 miles driven. My wife’s new Impala LTZ gets 28 miles per gallon which equals 27.8 ga

Terry, pretty columns...... Jerry W5JH "building something without experimenting is just solder practice"

Hi Dan, I have looked at Farhan's Minima transceiver. As is, I doubt if the transceiver will put out more than a few microwatts. If you look at the design, the transmitter has only 1/2 of a bidirectio

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

Hi Terry, Are you sure you don't live in Arkansas? ;-) When I was kid in Arkansas, we never ever wore shoes. Are you aware that you can buy ankle straps that also fit around the soles of your shoes th

Bill, The problem with the regenrx group is that they really try to discourage building with anything other than tubes or as the Brits like to say, valves. I have been a member for quite a while and 9

Hi All, Introducing the Simple SNA aka The Poor Ham's SNA. Recently Jim Giammanco N5IB and I have been working on a microcomputer controlled SNA that will do automatic frequency scans and data collect

Hi Chris, What you say below was true but, the USPS does now have tracking. For example, I recently ordered a power supply from a company in New Jersey. I was able to track the package to my door step

Folks, All this talk about pigs and pens got me athinkin’ about the old Bluegrass song, “Pig In A Pen.” The song is usually played at hyper speed – about 220-240 beats per minute. Maybe we could get N

Walter, what are you doing running all that power? ;-) Jerry W5JH "building something without experimenting is just solder practice"

I should say it takes about 3 weeks to receive the parts.

Hi Jeremy, Furturlec.com sells what they call “value packs.” These are an assortment of different resistors, capacitors, etc. They are very reasonably priced. You can see them here. <http://futurlec.c

You can also check with Futurlec.com. However, the part will be coming from Hong Kong so it will take about 20 days to get here. B & G micro in Dallas has a number of FETs also. BTW, I quit using the

Why do you need a sub? The MPF102 is still available. If you really want a sub, you can use just about any n channel JFET as a sub. The MPF102 is the 2N2222 of the JFET world. You could use a 2N3819,

Now wait a minute Terry. I notice every city/town was capitalized except Lombard, IL. Do you have anything against Lombard? Did you get a ticket there one time or another? And, I also noticed you like

Terry, Does this mean you will have to change the frequency counter on the front of your pig rig? ;-) Jerry W5JH "building something without experimenting is just solder practice"

Hi All, I believe it was Diz’s intent to use the Pig Rig for clubs, nets, etc. Each club (such as 4sqrp) could have their very own frequency setup. That way, the club members could stay in contact wit

Hi Terry, I listen to the net on my Softrock Ensemble II RX SDR. It was interesting to see everyone’s signal. I had you at 3864.312KHz Although I am not sure my calibration is right on. I do believe i
