Re: Any BPF 50 MHz design
The reception reports will have to wait until the updated firmware chip arrives so that I can get a 6 meter signal out of the U2... Else, I have a design that will fit. Also, waiting the filter

Re: Any BPF 50 MHz design
Done. That was very simple, I designed one some years ago and it is used on my Linear Mixer - Broadband Linear PA - VHF MEPT system, so I knocked up another.

It wasn't Nescafe!
I could tell you what brand it was but then I would have to kill you ;))

Picnic portables and GPS
Was just looking at "flanged potting boxes" instead of Nescafe lids

These look like a reasonable way of affixing a protective top to a
box, in which the GPS is

Re: Any BPF 50 MHz design
All
If someone builds a 6m design, 7-element LPF which will fit on the kit PCB,
I am happy to stock them in the shop. I think it would be good if someone
proves it works first ;-)

Re: Any BPF 50 MHz design
I ran a fast 6 meter filter design from the AADE software and put the schematic and calculated plot in my Photos section KE7HR. This might be a starting point.

Re: Any BPF 50 MHz design
There is FREE filter design software at:

It also includes a calculator to determine which toroid to use and the number of turns to complete the design.
I usually take what

Re: Those GPS 1pps problems.
Thanks Robert interesting stuff.
I am sure Hans will crack it, if all else fails a special v2.01 GPS parameters with v2.02 RF will be the final solution, because the Trimble was fine on v2.01.

GPS antenna rain protection and "picnic portables".
Dave,
I have another U2 here which I am also planning to use as a "picnic

My current thoughts are that I am going to build the second UP501

Re: Those GPS 1pps problems. (Some bystander thoughts)
Hi Guys,
Just in case anyone gets confused, there is no such thing as a Reyax UP501 GPS module!
Reyax are simply one of several Far Eastern sellers on ebay.
The GPS module being talked about was
