Re: U2 and GPS report (good)
Hi David, It's nothing special at all - honest. It's a pure 8ft square loop which is fed at the bottom centre via a suitable matching unit in order to transfer as much power into it as possible

Re: U2 and GPS report (good)
Hi Hans, Joking aside, I must admit to being drawn to your website some time ago as I was looking at stuff for various interests of mine. The valve tx being one, but it was more the NBTV stuff that

U2 and GPS report (good)
Just for info,I've had the U2 and the UP501 module on ever since I got the beta chip in and never switched it off in the last few weeks. It's never skipped a beat! Today was the first time I'd

Re: Pout drops on 20m

To forum, help me please. Have a question. I notice that on 20m the power output drops dramatically (~50%). Necessary fine-tune the LP filter? Or are other problems: eg. DDS-VFO? TKS Francesco,

Re: Picnic portables and GPS
I think that's the key to it all. Throw up a wire in the nearest coconut tree, leave a U2 running and come back later after the beer has run out to check the results. Said in jest but
