Re: Picnic portables and GPS
I do like to see the various approaches to boxing the same project. I have just put my U2 in a box, I will get round to some pictures and a few words in time.

Re: Picnic portables and GPS
Hi David
Nobody wants to be at the mercy of those suppliers. PCB's manufactured in
one week? Pffft.
I'll arrange for the v2.02a chips to be sent to you separately...

Well, of course you could glue a lid on, but that raises more problems than
it solves for me.
If you just want a radio-transparent waterproof annexe to the U2 case,

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

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.

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

Re: Any BPF 50 MHz design

If someone builds a 6m design, 7-element LPF which will fit on the kit PCB,

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.

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.
