Few years ago we had a new ham get on 2 meters. He heard us talking about coax and how you want the lowest loss coax you can afford. So he wanted to improve his antenna and get new coax. He looked up specs and ordered 100 feet of LMR-600. When he got it he knew he hadn't considered all the specs. LMR-600 is great coax except it's very thick and like trying to get a frozen garden hose through your attic. But he didn't want to admit what he got and somehow he got it all ran to his antenna. But later he did tell us and laughed about it. He said it almost killed him running it through the attic. Hey he has a great low-loss run of coax.
Just gathering parts for the second version. I recreated the mounting plate for the microcontroller board in Fusion 360, replacing the one somebody made in Tinkercad. What you see is just a vertically scaled down sample for test fitting. I plan on adding the mounting area for the AD8310 board this time higher up so I can get to the SMA easier.
I dunno - maybe all I need to do is draw pictures of the project and just claim it works. That seems to be the go-to path from what I'm seeing posted on this forum lately.
I need to hook up the second board and check to see if it marches the first one (or how well it does match). Working on some other ideas too no rush. The red LED is a go.
