Hi All

I plan to set up a comprehensive Portsdown/MiniTiouner/Ryde/WinterHill and RF test and fix-it facility at CAT 21.

So that I can plan what to bring, please could attendees let me know what they want to test/fix beforehand? Please just post here with an outline of what you would like to achieve.

One request - please make sure that you bring a mains power supply and all the power/video/RF cables and adapters that you normally use. It makes hooking up to the test equipment so much easier!

Thanks

Dave, G8GKQ

Lime mini, Adams Pluto And P.O.T.Y. all to do with Tx side of Portsdown 4

regards
Nigel.

I've an 8 way RF switch that could benefit from fault finding, Dave. I had to build a new card to restore Portsdown operation.

OK David

Please bring the Portsdown that you are trying to drive it from as well, but no need to bring the whole rack!

I have some 10GHz pipe-cap filters I'd like to tweak onto frequency please. Also a pair of POTY feeds to sweep.
Thanks
Gareth

I have 'built' a Portsdown/RPI together with a Pluto with I hope the F5OEO firmware. I just need a confidence check at this stage. Have I wrecked my Pluto? Is it outputing anything? I hope to do further tests on 70cm.

Mike - Yes, we will have all the kit to do your confidence check, and any simple remedial action.

Dave

Yes Dave. I'll bring just the Portsdown 4 that won the Telford construction competition and some recent builds. I've a second Pluto for SATSAGEN that isn't behaving great and a pair of pipe cap filters for 5.6GHz. (The dead 23cm amp is bound for repairs in Kettering)

I've a fair number of R&S branded project boxes with mains power supplies to sell - see for sale note elsewhere on this forum. Bargain prices. Big enough for all of P4 tx and rx.

Regards
David

I hope to be there and will have the test gear to fine tune Bullseye LNB oscillators.

I will also have the last few fully assembled alignment boards for sale.

Also happy to help with any Langstone systems.
