I have an extra EZ Keyer III that I built earlier this year and then wound up not really needing it. Anyone needing one, I'll let this one go for $35 + $5 shipping to anyone in the US. First I'll take

Gang, Ron AG1P, the original poster, wanted replies sent directly to him, not on the reflector. Seems like a few didn’t pay attention. Can we get back on track and get this off the reflector as reques

Absolutely great idea and a fine alternative for those who don’t have or have access to a 3D printer. Just be careful to insulate the bottom of the Altoids tin (or the PC board itself) so you don’t sh

Sorry folks, I should have mentioned a request to no5 ask me to print one of these for you if you don’t have a printer. Now that I’ve finished this design, I have both printers tied up for quite some

OK Gang, the new QRP Dummy Load by NM0S needs a case so I have been working on a 3D printed design for one. I have what I think is a mostly complete design (pix below). I've published the design (incl

I've already tried White - that was what I used in the first place, and those green LED's do NOT light up bright enough to show through. I tried 3 different brands of white too. Sorry. Jim, W0EB

Got the kit in the mail today. Very well laid out and very quick to build. I've had a number of years building kits with surface mount components, mostly the smaller ones and my take on this one is th

I bought this while I was testing a CW decoder for some other equpment and couldn't use a hand key. I built & tested the keyer but never did wind up using it. I have a larger speaker installed and it

Johnny, Jim (N5IB) and anyone headed to Xenia that does go to the Airforce museum, I can’t remember which hangar it’s in, but there is a small twin engined blue & white Aero Commander 560 in a back co

I had a heck of a time converting from KC/MC while I was teaching electronics & R-390 receiver repair in the Army back in the early 70's when things really started to change. Took me a couple of years

I've completed the flimsy outdoor test case & installed a completely built antenna matching unit using the kit. I will hang it outdoors under a bit of strain later today and will let it sit there in t

For those of you who know Diz (W8DIZ of Flying Pigs QRP club fame as well as owner of kitsandparts.com), an update on his condition after his recent brain tumor surgery from his wife as passed on to M

For the SOTA/POTA guys that like to hike in to the sites and need light equipment. Not counting the weight of the wire that would be used for the actual antenna itself, the Experimental EFHW mounted i

Thanks Wayne, it's ready for (maybe) prime time. I'm now going to print it in another color with cheap PLA and will hang it outside in the Kansas record heat to see how it holds up. Jim - W0EB

The 3D printable and CAD design files are now on Thingiverse for you. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5381788 Jim, W0EB 4SQRP# 44

Forgot to mention that I have not assembled this yet except for the BNC connector - note to Johnny, AC0BQ, you will need to start shipping the mounting nut with the BNC connector as it will be needed

All right! I believe I have a viable, weather resistant, 3D printable case for the EFHW Experimenation Board. Spent most of the day working on it and I have one printed and assembled (see the attached

OK, gang, a progress report on the 3D printed case/cover for the EFHW board kit from 4SQRP. It is taking a bit longer in the design process than I originally thought due to the desire to make it as we

Darn, looks like the 3D printed case will have to wait. The kit is still at the KS City distribution center and hasn’t made it to Wichita today. Hopefully tomorrow. Phooey! W0EB

A bit of further info on printing materials as reiteration to K0NEB's post. PETG is not strictly necessary as a 3D print material for outdoor use. It will stand up better to sunlight and the elements
