Sounds interesting for prototyping. Most of my designs make use of TQFP and LQFP packages with 0.5mm pin pitch; can the process and equipment you're using handle those? Which engraver are you using?

I stopped doing it years ago mainly because the materials I mostly use ( Rogers 4350,6010) are not available with photo resist coating and if you send them out for coating than the lot charge is quite

I've started "etching" PCBs with a fiber laser engraver. The bog standard 1064 nm ones can do it, which somewhat surprised me. Glad to not have to coat PCBs in photosensitive goo anymore since the

If you can get it, I'd suggest the CuCl method, about 4 parts Hydrogen peroxide (drugstore strength) and 1 part of Hydrochloric (muriatic) acid.? It'll need air bubbling through it as the hydrogen

If there is general consensus from members I could put a video out about it. Also the EEVblog is a good place and very active. But Will is correct there will be lots of power supply repair questions.

I still etch with ferric chloride here at the house. But I do use an earth sciences Hot shaker table with a water bath rather than food prep area. So at least some improvement. Zen

Re: 8516A cable question
Can he pull the 40GHz section (filter, doubler, relay, etc) out of the 8516, and use DC levels to control it while driving it with the 8340 That way he could eliminate the doubler/filter as the root
