Re: Honbay trimmers; I took one for the team
They are not on my list of approved critters in my lab.? Got to Tayda and get Murata trimmers for around $0.18 to $0.32 for the few values they have in stock. Guess I was thinking that since I used

Honbay trimmers; I took one for the team
Got the envelope with the selection of Honbay trimmers from Amazon.? They arrived next day as advertised. They are cheap and I do mean cheap with respect to quality control and any value they may

Re: 2N2/20 Scratch-Build - Progress So Far
Dave, Your timing is scary.? I just did the BPF for the SolderSmoke DC receiver. I am hoping that my camera hasn't died on me.? I did the experiment and I'll video it for release today.? Or

Re: Tayda Electronics and parts, heatsinks, Octopus
I'm surprised Azon hasn't dropped me as a customer, because I constantly give them feedback about their ridiculously poor packaging. Ironically, when we order indestructible stuff like bags of bath

Re: Tayda Electronics and parts, heatsinks, Octopus
Amazon.com has gotten worse in what they do.? It is not just me.? My wife and others I know have noticed this too. And how they handle payments as well is different than how other online retailers

Re: Tayda Electronics and parts, heatsinks, Octopus
+1! Tayda orders are indeed very well packed. By contrast, I recently took delivery of an oscilloscope from Amazon. It arrived in a large box, together with a 14 pound box of cat litter, a few other

Somehow, the previous message was sent to the group before I was able to attach the photos. Before and after photos shown here, illustrating how small differences in layout can make a significant

Re: 2N2/20 Scratch-Build - Progress So Far
I powered the board up outside, away from all the stray RF in the shack. Unfortunately, that wasn't the issue, though it was good to eliminate it from the list of possibilities. I will bear it in mind

Re: Tayda Electronics and parts, heatsinks, Octopus
Now it's really a mystery! All of my orders of discrete parts have weighed 2-3 pounds and come in amazingly well-packaged boxes. AMAZON execs should take notes! Regards, Kirk, NT0Z My book, "Stealth

Re: Earliest example of Manhattan construction?
Chuck. Not sure what the deal is, but I checked a copy of my QRP Classics (with the red cover and published in 1990) and found the article you cited on pp 12-14 and the picture tyou mentioned on page

Earliest example of Manhattan construction?
Looking through my library, this is the earliest example of using PCB pads glued to a board for construction.? Is it the earliest you have seen? September 1979 QST (back when there were construction

Re: 2N2/20 Scratch-Build - Progress So Far
Hi Dave I note there is a slight difference between this circuit and the K8IQY circuit which has a 56 Ohm resistor across the secondary. Might be worth a try. 73, Ian VK7IAN

Re: 2N2/20 Scratch-Build - Progress So Far
Dave, I doubt that lightning strikes twice but just maybe... When I scratch built my NC-40a a few years ago, I had the exact same thing happen.? I had a scratchy parasitic sounding noise that I found

Re: Tayda Electronics and parts, heatsinks, Octopus
FWIW, I've ordered from them probably around 8 or 10 times over the past 10 years or so and most, if not all of the packages came from within the US. Don't quote me on this, but Colorado springs to

Re: Tayda Electronics and parts, heatsinks, Octopus
My oders have shipped from the US, and quickly..? maybe depends on what you order. Quality has been ok, only the cheap headphone jacks have been flaky. I did by those RF output transistors Daniel

Re: Tayda Electronics and parts, heatsinks, Octopus
That could be, but every order of mine (10-12) has, and always has, shipped from Thailand. I'd love the USA warehouse to be the one, but for the past 6 years, all Thailand, FWIW. --Kirk, NT0Z My book,

Re: Tayda Electronics and parts, heatsinks, Octopus
Hi Daniel - Like many of us, I'm often on the lookout for good deals on parts, and even not so great deals if it's a much sought-after part that is hard to find. However, I'm beginning to question the

Re: Tayda Electronics and parts, heatsinks, Octopus
Not according to their FAQ. Where do you ship from? Depend on item availability and customer/recipient location, your order will be shipped from one of these locations, Singapore, Thailand and USA.
