C10 C23 C26 is the wrong what came from farnell was Part number 113-5233
AVX - TCJB107M006R0070 - CAPACITOR, CASE B, 100UF, 6.3v
Case F as is called for on the board.

Well 18 days after start, I finally managed to RX my own digital signal on SAT RX upstairs, what a nightmare it was getting GBPVR & digilite software running properly on this old PC, but it worked in the end, still only very minimal pwr output at the moment, but at least its working.

Hi Tony,

it was good to see your pictures via G3SMU (on the http://g7lwt.camstreams.com video stream) last night.

There was minimal breakup due to RADAR, once you're running a little more power, the video will be solid. The video quality was wonderful, typical DATV P5.

Well done and thanks for all the news on progress, hopefully a few more users will join us on Digital in IO83 now.

thanks guys, hope to see some digital sigs on air soon as more people finish their boards as well, with my digilite board ( with mar-6 device ) fed into M68719 brick amp, then from that fed into 2x 286S amp its giving me just under 5w out at the moment, so plenty to work with till driver amp built to feed the main 2 amps.

Hi,

Is there another alternative for buying the components with farnel?
They only accept company's...
Any web store where i can find all the ordinary parts? without being a company....

any info welcome....

thanks

Maybe it's different in Belgium, but in UK anyone can order from Farnell with a credit card. There's a minimum of £20 + VAT, but no postage costs. Farnell have a warehouse in Liege.

Other options in UK are http://cpc.farnell.com/ but they don't have the same range and http://uk.rs-online.com/web/

RS also have http://be01.rs-online.com/web/

Good news and good DX :)

I think you are the first ON to transmit with DigiLite.
