Re NLB 310 - if there is enough interest, we could buy 25 or 50 and sell them in the shop.

Re W1GHZ boards - Malcolm G0UHY has got a price of $15 plus plus from W1GHZ.

And re Rob's post - yes, very good boards and very easy to cut up and use as pre-amps etc - it's what I use in my system.

Hi,

as Noel said the 10GHz boards from W1GHZ are $15 plus $5 P&P for up to 4 boards. I've sent off for a couple so would be interested in the BATC shop stocking the MMICs and even the mixers...hint, hint :)

Paul sent me his price list for his other boards too which is below if anyone is interested in any of his other projects?

I got sent a link that looks interesting, my apologies I can't find it again so I don't know who it was that sent it to me, so if it was anyone on here, I appreciate it.

The link is
http://www.eisch-electronic.com/index.html

These people make various bits of kit including transverters. They do a version of the DB6NT 10GHz transverter for 3cms at 142 Euro, Shipping is 18 Euro. It does however need a 10GHz LO.

They do other kit for other bands too.

Looks like the BLB310 is getting hard to source - is there enough interest for BATC to buy say 50 from Mini-kits?

Looking at the NLB-310 again, the P1 point of +13dBm might be a bit low for my own application. I need +10dBm to drive the DG0VE amp. I expect that you'd need to use them on Rogers pcb too, so that's another complication. I'm going to try the LNB boards first.
