Hi Paul, Yes, you can measure your torroids. What I do is put the filter together on the PCB and sweep it using my PHSNA (poor ham's scaler network analyzer). Did my xtal filter too. See attached (I

I'm building a Norcal 40a and wondering if the toroids can be measured and verified prior to installation. I have an LC meter sitting here on the bench. Thanks. Paul VA3ZC

Gents, Absolutely great! Thanks for these suggestions and links! If this does not drag them out of Baofeng "Tech-hood" nothing will. -- William, k6whp -------------------- "Cheer up, things could get

This little noise generator would work fine: https://www.radiohobbyist.org/blog/?p=1884 -- Dale Hardin Elberta, AL

I second what Dale says, however (since measuring traps is the subject),? a simple noise generator along with a receiver can be employed to measure traps.? Example: < https://youtu.be/kuDkdrI4bBc (

Chuck, On page 16 of http://transport.ece.illinois.edu/ece340f12-lectures/ece340lecture27-junccap.pdf there's an equation for the capacitance of a reverse biased diode Cj =? ?A/2 *

Don't forget the "noise bridge".? Here is a simple one that can be built out of junk parts: https://www.radioexperimenter.us/rm-1996-05/antenna-noise-bridge-detector.html It is a very useful and

Jerry, the shape of the curve in fig 3 is typical of?junctions of non?"purpose built" diodes. (like that term). I've attached a set of curves from K7QO.? The curve at the bottom is a power diode.?

Tangential note and thank you to Ray for enabling the "edit" feature for comments. Sure allows one ot revise embarrassing spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. Never did understand why Chuck did

Rob, Understand that. I coined the term "Baofeng Tech" -- originally defamatory -- mainly because there were a number of guys on a local SoCal repeater system who occupied commute time talking on

This is one of the great tools now available to all?for working with? project that you pump and signal into or receive a signal from?and finding out what is really going on.? The 11, 12 ports can

I don't know about you guys but when I first got a Technician license 21 years ago (after passing 5WPM CW) and I was finally allowed to use a 2 meter HT I could not purchase a 2 meter HT for anything

Loading the clock outputs with 50 ohms (such as a 6db attenuator) will make crosstalk and phase noise much worse. Hence the discussion here of cheap 74ACT and 74LVC series buffers to drive a 50 ohm

It's a Military/Viet Nam Era thing. "F---ing New Guy" meaning the newest arrival in a unit. Also, many, many thanks for the great ideas. I think with the availability and affordability of the antenna

whats the FNG mean?

NOTHING beats a real antenna analyzer. Just my opinion. I bought a used MFJ259 for $100 ....twenty years ago and it has been THE "go to" tool for the local radio club and has been passed around so

Hi Yes, generally it is a good idea to make the mixer see a constant load vs frequency. So a 6 dB pad will provide a higher return loss than 3 dB will. But given that the output power from a single

A Millen Antenna Bridge will give you both the R and Xc of an antenna. But a simple Heathkit Antenna Bridge will give you only the R of the antenna. These things date WAY BACK! And they have only

Some newer transceivers, like the Icom IC-7300, include a graphical SWR plot function. Put a dummy load on the other end of the trap and have the radio show you the swr plot. That might help some.
