Re: Pill Bottles

 

I will have some "parts trays" left over after electronics merit badge.
I printed up a bunch to sort parts for mass audio amp build the scouts are doing as part of merit badge.
?I will post pics later, I can print several different sizes if you need larger.

Hey Mike… two things.? If you are going to Hamvention (Dayton), I can bring them in my luggage so they really cost you nothing…? I’ll be selling the 20W kits there and there will be no postage or paypal fees there.? The pill bottles are junk (although only once used) as far as I’m concerned so I don’t want anyone to spend any money shipping them.

?

The other thing, I got a note from JJ (cc’d on this note) who is in the process of adding that 20W PA to his sBITx and could use a guiding hand in how you did yours since I’m a little indisposed getting ready for Hamvention at the moment.? I suspect what he will want to know it where you tapped in to get:

?

The input to the PA

The output from the PA

Where the 12V came from,

And where you tapped in for the PTT (the bias circuit on switch).

?

And of course pictures are worth a thousand words.? I’ve been way too busy with the T41, some health issues, gathering a 30 foot dish before its gets tossed out, and family to help. ?

I will take a couple dozen. Next week I have an order to put in for another 20w pa and a 100w kit too. You can send with them.?

?FYI, I just worked South Africa on ft8 with your amp. Granted, after the lpf and tuner, I was only putting out 6.6w, but damn impressive!

I used #20 PTFE for the single winding (carries the RF current) and #24-28 transformer wire for the secondary windings.? Its actually not that critical.? I used PTFE wire for the primary because I built the transformer for 100W.? You could use just regular hookup wire for 20W.

Ok John… I just sell the latest T41 V12 boards and semi kits… not full sets of parts.? Justin AI6YM sells Kits with all of the parts… but I don’t know how up to date his boards are (need to ask him).? In any case here is what I sell below.? I’m in the process of prepping for HamVention so have closed sales until I’m at Hamvention (and FDIM).? If you attend HamVention or FDIM you can see the stuff first-hand before you purchase and you can get it on the spot (not paying shipping or PayPal fees).? Otherwise it will have to wait until after HamVention now.

?

I have booth #2607 at HamVention.

Re: Testing unit idea

 

While working on my other ESP32 project I ran across this article that does a nice job of explaining the ESP32 Dev Board pins and how & which ones to use.? It also explains why the various board are interchangeable if you use the same named pins irrespective of their actual location on the Dev Boards.? There was previous mention of using the exact version and that is not a requirement.

Great work on the kit package with the qr code label.? It looks fantastic.? It looks like the assembly manual on github that the qr code on the kit package links to is the wrong document.? I think you have the instructions for your power delivery module with just a picture of the attenuator board.? To be fair, the board looks easy enough that one can paint by numbers.? I am not going to get to assembling this one for a bit but I'm sure someone will be looking for the instructions soon.
