Re: Yard Lights revisited
Hmm. I think I need the .7Vfd so that when added to string of lights, my lfp cell won't be discharged past 2.5v. .7Vfd + 1.9Vfd = 2.6v. LFP cell would have to have a greater terminal voltage than

A bit of radio history
This might be of interest to radio enthusiasts in this group. Cable TV systems have always had problems with RF leaking from and into their "closed systems." This is a bit one sided industry view

Try this to eliminate the 0.7V voltage drop... https://www.mpja.com/Ideal-Diode-Very-Low-Drop-Rectifier/productinfo/35486+DI/ I have no business relationship with MPJA other than as a satisfied

Yard Lights revisited
Lost the battle of yard lights. Now we have a plethora of dollar store rejects hiding amongst the weeds. Neighbor was very appreciative of the copper 120vac lights. Beautiful fixtures after stripping,

Re: Antennas
Sadly while English is my birth language I still manage to mangle it with frightening regularity. I'd blame it on being born in Appalachia but that'd be unfair. The truth is I am dyslexic and can be

Re: Antennas
Thanks Andy, Yes, VHF ? Of course, the internal antenna in the pager is always active but at lowband, wearing the pager on the belt, the effect is not significant. I have lots of antenna plots

Re: Antennas
Bertho, You probably meant "VHF", right?? Not VFH ("very frequency high"?).? But this might be a non-English language issue, if English is not your preferred language. It is only somewhat right

Re: Antennas
Antennas are fascinating, some of the simplest antennas work much better than one would expect and some extremely complex antennas that should work like magic are disappointing. As to SDRs, they've

mixer downconversion noise output level dB/Hz
Hello, I have a mixer shown in the link below.The way I calculate the noise coming out of the mixer is as following: -174+NF-conversion loss=-174+0.5-6=-179.5dB/Hz so far I am correct? also the Mixer

Use a PA0RDT Mini-whip as the buffer.

Antennas
On the subject of antennas: Lo-VFH pager antennas surprisingly are using the person's body as the antenna. The body "antenna' couples into the pager's internal antenna when it is when worn on the

Re: msi 2500 sdr as a panadaptor
I used helical resonators in a commercial VHF marine transceiver that I designed 1981. A 3-pole input section before the pre-amp followed by a 2-pole section. That was a long time ago! Bertho

Re: msi 2500 sdr as a panadaptor
There is no way I can begin to explain intercept point without a lot of unsane math and graphics. The short answer, at some signal strength and amplifier fed two (or more) signals will start to mix

Re: Some observations on linear power supplies
That's surprising, as I thought that those parts had fairly hefty surge ratings. Or at least that's the case with a lot of rectifier diodes... I still don't have any antennas up (yet?) but am
