Re: NE4040B Project..Some Questions


 

Project has been hinted at and not formally announced.
It will not be ready for prime time until late Sept or so.

1.? Yes.? Gerber files will be available for sending to board shops.
2.? Completion planned in late Sept.
3.? Videos will be done.
4.? Will use LaTeX to create a complete document on the project.
5.? Multiple bands will be planned, since you can use LC combos
???? made up from different toroids and cap values.

Again, this is a project for later in the year.? Just wanted to see
if there was going to be any interest.? Lots of guys are no longer
building.? And there will be no parts kits available and this will be
do it on your own kind of project.? PTH parts only.

I recommend for all that have interest.? Search your library and
the Internet for NE4040 info and look at what you would do.
We will rename the project AZ4040 later and hoping for a price
break of $40 USD for board (100mm x 100mm hoped for) and
also hoping the $5 per 10 boards will be still be offered by one of
the Chinese board firms.

I'll get a preliminary list of general parts to get from ebay in
Sept.? I'd recommend a large assorted collection of 1/4W
resistors (I like the metal film) and mono caps to start.? Hoping
the tariff wars do not kill off building projects for me.

Chuck,

Wonder if you can answer some questions I may have missed in the existing threads on this project, principally:

(1) Will this be the same M.O. as the NorCal 40A Silver Anniversary project with the Gerber files available to send to a PCB house?

(2) If so, what's your approximate ETC for the Gerber design files?

(3) Will you be doing a series of videos on this..

(4) .. or will you be working off a "pilot document" as a base for building?

(5) Assume it will be possible to build a 20m version of this.

I know you have wrapped up the 1-Watter 17m and Diz's Universal Receiver videos and a lot of us have been nurtured enough to both scrounge and build with the mutual help available from each other, so I don;t want to goad you into feeling as though you have to.

But then again, if you like doing that, we appreciate your efforts.
