Re: 13CM SGlabs + 55W PA
Hi Scott,
Xlnt review on IC-705, nice rig.
SGLabs Tvrtrs are brilliant, especially for $$$. Makes easy path onto 23/13/9
Hilary is there an easy path onto 10Ghz? (easy also = low $$$)

13CM SGlabs + 55W PA
Hi all,
Just boxed up my spare 13CM SGLabs tvrtr with a newly acquired (Ebay) 55W Khune PA.
My other 13CM unit is working into a Spectrian (Pyro Joe type) 25W PA.
Starting to see more activity on 23/13/9 from Sydney which is great.

Re: SG Labs 3400MHz Txvtr
Hi Tim, I finally received my Mini-Circuits Preamp and fitted. I ordered the 362-LN from Clarke & Seven (AU) was $165 free post. They had to import, but must have stocked up. Ted VK2ARA order only took a few days to get. The 3800-LN version is listed at $301, but higher specs and bit wider. This...

Re: SM3437 3.4 GHz amplifier everything you what to know
Hi Hayden,
Thanks for fast reply.
Amp only draws 145mA when 12V applied and no change when 5V I/O triggerd. We got the amps about 18 months ago.
The warranty seal opened to inspect internals, so a return is prob not on.
Cheers,
Darrell

Hi Hayden Ted VK2ARA and I have just completed boxing up our Stealth 3437 amps + SGLabs 3.4Ghz transverters. We both purchased the same 3437 amps from same supplier a while back and both came as new and sealed. Problem is, one amp works ok and draws 8.5 amps when 12V attached and 5V TTL I/O operates...

Stealth 3437 AMP CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
Hi Gents,
Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the 3.4 Ghz Stealth 3437 Amp.
We have two new(ish) amps, one works fine, using SGLabs 3.4G tvrtr and one won't fire up, so need to look under the bonnet.
Can only find the .pdf for specs online so far.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Darrell vk2bls

Hi Hayden, The grey junction box previously housed my 13CM SGLabs Tvrtr. I use a custom built length of LMR400 + N connectors ordered from 'Times Microwave', (excellent quality). The short length of LMR400 connects via N:SMA patch leads in the weatherproof JBox, then the SMA's fit through a 'smallis...

Re: VK1RGI seen in QF56if
VK1RGI was in this morning for over an hour. Just above the noise, but 'car alarm' siren clear. Able to read CW ident a couple of times. Approx 215K from QF55kk
Faded out about 10.00(ish). Now I know where to point beam (24 el loop).
