Hi Bryon, I feed my Trimble output into a home-built 106.5MHz Synth as I have the kit built Kuhne transverter, and the synth is designed to accept a nominal 10dBm 10MHz input. I measured my Trimble on my oscilloscope and I had a little over the Trimble spec 12.5dBm figure; about 13.2dBm from memory...

No problems with new version here Kevin,

I installed over v9.03, and running Windows 7 64Bit

Good Luck

I emailed 2DLF twice but never received a reply.

Brought a Kent instead

Hi Michael,

I emailed alfa spid last night and had a reply the next morning with a quote. So a good start with confidence in their service.

Yes our dollar is attractive at the moment so probably the best option for me.

thanks for your advice,

Hi All anyone know of an Australian agent for Alfa Spid rotators? I know Kev 4KKD was some time ago but I suspect he no longer has the dealership? My rotator decided to rotate it self instead of rotating the array due to the mounts becoming loose! The cast housing is destroyed. :( I'm in need urgent...

I received my order for a rig runner unit from West Mountain Radio (USA) just yesterday , package arrived in six days of placing my order. Excellent service and obviously the good exchange rate is well worth it.

See you there Karl,

alway a great weekend.

Tom,

just to add, I used to use an IBM R31 notebook ( with a USB / Serial Adapter ) with a IC706, never had a problem on 144 at least, but again the Dell D500 with my FT817 is a different story at this stage!

Hi Tom, I've kinda touched on this subject awhile ago and really don't have any real conclusive results as yet, as I've been experimenting with an FT817 with a Dell Latitude D500 notebook. But so far my testing results have all failed due to the noise emitted from the notebook into the Yeasu at noth...

Thanks for all the reply's

I have purchased a unit, so will wait and see upon installation, but it sounds like there is hope that they'll play nicely with our bands.

Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone has had experience installing and using a wind anemometer up on top of their tower and then fed back into a weather station in the shack? Like a lot of the home weather stations they do have a 'wireless' feature on 433Mhz which is kinda bad for us. But I'm told if you...

Thanks David and Leigh Truthfully I haven’t completely tested it yet, Will let you know my results, need to catch up with Rob 3EK to borrow some test gear, and of course a couple of QSO’s would be handing too. I have placed a power meter on the output, yes the P/O does increase when the AMP is inlin...

Hi all,
Finally finished my version of Alan 3XPD's amp. David 3HZ, I'll chase you later when I'm ready to install the same mods that you've installed on yours.

I'm keen, count me in
Seem to have more time in the Winter!

Thanks Owen,

I'm currently using Tohtsu CX-520d relays for 2 and 70, but for 23cm I suspect these relays maybe at the upper limits of there specifications. I'm seeking advice on what others are using for the 23cm band?

Thanks for your website info Owen, I'll check it out
