Never was an artist... Slowly getting there at G3YMC. TX is now putting a good 8W from a MRF315 into a dummy load, fed by a G0MRF LPF built with T50-2 cores - don't use T50-61 ones, they get very hot as I found out... Now sorting out the bits for an inbuilt swr meter and should be starting the metal bashing on Monday, so provided the antenna likes it I should be on air sometime next week. Interesting to see the comments about NOV details. I supplied a marked up scaled copy of my deeds map, a photo of the vertical and a few notes on what I intended to do and how it was impossible to measure the ERP. NOV came back by return so must have worked - but a note that I am ultimately responsible to ensure I don't cause any interference... 73 Dave G3YMC On 28 Apr 2007 at 20:43, CHRISTOPHER OSBORN wrote: > I've finished my 500 kc/s TRX and the wiring is quite tidy. > Any ideas how I can letter up the front panel controls ? > > I've tried 'Letraset' but it looked so bad I sanded it off and then > resprayed the panel.
