Re: Are designs without a readily available PCB of interest for this group?
|
Many of us got into Ham Radio to facilitate experimentation and innovation with electronic circuits. Though it would be nice to have a ready circuit board for sharing a design, it is not an absolute must. The main thing is to keep the design open source and shared with others, in order to advance the art.

In some cases it seems that having a pre-built PCB is restrictive because it limits the
number and type of modifications (upgrades) that can be performed.?

I am game for either construction method. The VNA sounds like a great project.

The PCB should not be difficult to make but I will/can not do it.
Is this group interested in building dead bug style from a schematic and some photo's using SMT components?
Or only if a PCB is available?
