Thanks guys. I was thinking of trying to solder 0.8mm pcb pins, so maybe if these are cut short they would work as rivets. I will check out Spotlight though.

Hi guys,
I've had an un-completed DB6NT 24Ghz transverter kit for a while now - what has stumped me has been the need to place hollow copper rivets in all the through holes.
I can't seem to get rivets anywhere.
Any clues anyone?

Hi Gerald and others, I took some time to digitise the 48 pages from the partial manual today. Unfortunately, I probably scanned at too high a res... Anyway the file is 29mb, so will send a disk to anyone who wants one. It is a .pdf file. (Can I make it smaller?) Gerald, is your postal address in th...

Dave,
very interesting on the various prices and packages..
cheers,

Michael, the 5EME sequencer works ok with 432 IF. I have one in my Mitec 10Ghz transverter. (Currently having problems getting the lo 8 X multiplier to work on 2 of my mitec's.) The 817 is an ideal IF Rig, as many have said. I run a separate PTT line from the acc port of the 817 to the sequencer for...

Matt, sorry I didn't answer your post. Great to meet you, and great to get to meet the dairy farmer! My mobile is 0417041915. I also didn't answer your question re the white boxes, AKA 23ghz outdoor/gunn units. The source was originally from Graham Sommer at Rathmines, who donated a large quantity t...

Hi Guys, Jack 2TRF will be at Mt Tomah with HADARC, and I will be at Kulnura near the Bumble hill Trig (33.2516S 151.2807E). We will be trying ATV on 2.4, 5.8 and 10G. I will also have SSB on 2m, 70cm, 23cm, 13cm and possibly 3cm. Any takers?? Matt (2DAG)??? We may finally be able to make 13cm SSB M...

Yeah, Justin,
I'll have a go one day when I can slip down to your qth and do a little test with you. My 13cm transverter is ready to go!
I am retired, so can pretty much travel down any time during the week.

Hi Owen, I am having similar problems getting my 23 cm kit going from minikits. The LO seems to be ok on my frequency meter, but I am not getting anything like the correct output after the ERA3 doubler on the transverter board itself. Dave, great news on the 10G experiments last Saturday. Might see ...

Hi Guys,
just built a minikits 2.4G transverter, with a 23cm on the way... How do people manage the PTT activation for SSB on this rig?? There is a PTT input on the Data port, but doesn't seem to be a PTT out anywhere??
cheers,
