June 24, 2026 - Got the RX hooked up and tested repeating - programmed chosen frequency 462.700/467.700 with PL 141.3 on TX/RX. Ordered a 8 cavity flat pacl mobile duplexer.
June 20, 2026 - Got the TX hooked up - will do RX next, but need to decide on a frequency. Using Motorola CDM-1250 radios.
June 20, 2026 - Picked this up a week or two back - the batter was corroded and it didn't have any probes - got a C cell battery holder and hooked that up - the Ohms setting the the DC voltage setting is working. Need to mount the C battery holder and may need to go ahead and replace some capacitors, but at this moment it looks like it's working fine.
June 5, 2025 - adding on and moving some things around in the lab - I added the small workbench some time back and the newest workbench is being built (left) - will be moving the Collins R-392 to the lower portion of the new workbench.
April 7, 2023 - Testing the power meter and sensor with my 3400 SGLABS Transverter.
April 3, 2023 - Returned the 80425C sensor because it was faulty and purchased a 80330A sensor 0.01-18GHz/2W which arrived today and works great.
March 22, 2023 - New lab gear purchased. Gigatronics 8041C power meter, 20954-001 cable and 80425C 0.01-18GHz/50W sensor.
December 16, 2021 - More work on the lab getting new equipment in place.
December 15, 2021 - The HP8350 Sweep Oscillator frame with 83592A .01-20.0GHz plugin arrived (top) - testing it with my new EIP548A counter and adjusting as the Sweep Oscillator warms up.
December 9, 2021 - Arrived yesterday - EIP548A 10Hz to 26.5GHz counter with Option 8 - works great - my current signal source only goes to 20GHz and it read it fine.
Just purchased December 4, 2021 - HP8350 Sweep Oscillator frame with 83592A .01-20.0GHz plugin. And coming soon a listing of all lab assets.
