Re: Conductive Paint
Have a look at msg #5998 from Chris Corcoran¡­ He shows a number of plots that show the resistance of the coating. You can use that to figure out the attenuation for the coating. Dr. William J.

Re: [SoftwareControlledHamRadio] Calibrate S meter?
Hmm - at 14.2 MHz with the gen set to -72dBm ( as low as it'll go without an external attenuator ), I'm seeing just a hair under S9. Not bad! 7.2Mhz - just a hair under S8. Well, on that band the BPF

Re: [SoftwareControlledHamRadio] Calibrate S meter?
I didn't say that right. The calibration of the s-meter sets the ZERO point (well... -73 db point) on the meter. That is the intercept of the equation for "S" units. You also have to calibrate (eg

Re: [SoftwareControlledHamRadio] Calibrate S meter?
Yeah and make sure you do it with the attenuator at ZERO! THEN go ahead and calibrate the RX attenuation control. Dr. William J. Schmidt - K9HZ J68HZ 8P6HK ZF2HZ PJ4/K9HZ VP5/K9HZ PJ2/K9HZ VP2EHZ

I am probably oversimplifying something I may not fully understand but is there a general rule of thumb for knowing if a material may be suitable? ? Such as if it measures x ohms per square cm or

Calibrate S meter?
I was just doing this for one of my other radios, and wondered: Is the S meter display on the T41 calibrated? S9 is defined as -73dBm, or 50 microvolts @ 50 ohms. I think I'll try it out with a signal

V12 RF Board
I see lots of test points on the RF board, is there a list of expected voltages and signal data for each point somewhere? Trying to trouble shoot my RF board issues. Tim W4YN

Re: [SoftwareControlledHamRadio] Excessive Noise
I¡¯ve never had noise from an on-board source, but that doesn¡¯t mean it couldn¡¯t happen. There is probably a solder bridge somewhere that is causing this¡­ but keep it simple¡­ to hone in on

Re: Conductive Paint
I suspect you could spray a cheap clear coating over the top with no degradation of the graphene coating to solve the transfer problem. 20 Ohms is very low for a paint-on coating. The silver coating

Re: Conductive Paint
I have checked adhesion to PLA+ with Rustins and it adheres very well. I was very surprised by the conductivity which was around 20 Ohms for 35mm x 35mm surface area. I would add that the graphene

Re: Conductive Paint
Yep, its whether or not frequencies > 10MHz emanate from it ?, I like the idea of the Double sided PCB boards¡­. The silver plated copper paint is more reasonably priced, and as I suspect everyone

842AR is unaffordium. I think with a little help, I can design a nice little 5-sided box for the back made out of PCB for about $1. Both 5¡± and 7¡± displays. Should not be hard. I¡¯ll try one

Both Conductive Paints look interesting. Two questions, if anyone has the energy to answer ? 1. John, have you used the Rustins paint successfully on your 3D Printed facias and if so did you use
