content: Very nice, indeed! I recently got an old CB radio set from my uncle and I am gathering all the needed stuff right now. I bet there will be many questions coming up, so that suits me quite well!Thanks Dave!

content: A Microvave forum for all the voodo questions and things, I wil never undestandI find it always amazing, when I see a teardown of some high speed gear (e.g. 'PCB-filter' in a spectrum analyzer), how someone can design such a thing.Edit: That might seemed a bit negative, but it is not. More the opposite, the respect for all the people that do understand what is going on...

content: Quote from: EEVblog on January 10, 2016, 12:56:37 pmIs thatreallynecessary? Is it really a good use of your time?Could the equivalent benefit be achieved by a sticky thread pointing to all the relevant pre-existing threads? That would have the advantage that existing "multipurpose purpose" threads discussing, say, repairing RF test equipment don't get "lost" from the Repair or the Test Equipment sections.

content: Quote from: TinkerFan on January 10, 2016, 01:00:58 pmMicrowave printed filters are amongst the easiest of RF things to design. Just a few coupled lines, which obey some well understood maths.They do look pretty. Sometime I'll dig out a power amp matching circuit that I designed to look like a space invader

content: Quote from: TinkerFan on January 10, 2016, 01:00:58 pmJust get a book called 'Microstrip filters for RF/Microwave applications' and off you go. Having some kind of spreadsheet program for doing the calculations will help although some formulas are nearly impossible to solve (for example elliptic microstrip filters).

content: It's been a short while since I have been on here. I have often thought about approaching Dave for a ham/sdr related thread on here. Happy to see it now exists!
