Re: 25 years of the SIERRA - Mainboard, Band Module and critical parts are available
Hi Mike, as we started the project in 2017 all PCBs are made 2018/19. They all have plated through holes! The vari caps (C54) are also made by the original manufacturer in 2018. So don't worry... give

Re: 25 years of the SIERRA - Mainboard, Band Module and critical parts are available
Thanks Stefan - that's pretty amazing. Does "...industry quality pcbs ..." mean Industry Quality from the mid 90s where sometimes, plated through holes were not a thing? Not being critical, just

Re: 4.096MHz matched crystal sets (6pcs) NC40A 40m IF#2 project
VXOs, the ability to vary the rock is directly tied to the fixed C (holder and crystal) and can be expressed by PPM so naturally higher you go the more you can pull a rock expressed in Khz. The big

Chuck is correct. I did all the matching of crystals for all NorCal kits.

4.096MHz matched crystal sets (6pcs) NC40A 40m IF#2 project
One of the purposes of experimenting with various IF frequencies and as a side project was to measure the pulling ability of -U vs -S as a function of the frequency as the crystal frequencies chosen

Re: 4.9152MHz HC-49U crystals
Chuck, I for one will be interested in the results. I used the HC-49S for my Norcal 40a and it seems to work well, but I keep wondering if it would work even better with HC-49U crystals. One thing I

Re: 4.9152MHz HC-49U crystals
At the same link, in the upper right side of the web page, you can get 50 pcs 10.245 MHz, 9 MHz, 10 MHz for $7.50 and for $13.58, you can get 100 pcs of 9 MHz in HC-49U! -Steve K1RF

Re: 4.9152MHz HC-49U crystals
My 6M DDB phasing rig uses a 14mhz VFO. IF one uses good NPO and N750 caps and tested it can be remarkably stable. Allison -- Please reply on the group, no private emails we as a group share info that

Re: 4.9152MHz HC-49U crystals
If one takes extra care in using NP0 parts where specified and using the -7 ferrite core you should not have any problems.? There are a large number of designs that use 4MHz and higher local

Re: 4.9152MHz HC-49U crystals
Hi Chuck, will raising the frequency of the VFO alter it's stability? I'm super impressed with the norcal I built's vfo stability and I read somewhere that the lower frequency vfo's are more temp

Re: mating ferrite - no gaps
I used wet silicon carbide to lap pieces, wet emery works well too. I found that even the smallest gap will indeed lower the effective mu. TV yokes that's ok as it also increases the flux saturation

mating ferrite - no gaps
Am attempting to join multiple complex-shaped ferrite pieces, namely TV-yoke cores. Many of these are split into two halves. In any case, they will be re-wound with copper in a way that will direct
