BATC at the Midlands Round Table Saturday 3 December

[G8GKQ]

Noel and I will be at the Midlands Microwave Round Table on Saturday 3 December https://www.eatonmanor.co.uk/midlands-r ... ble-event/.

We plan to have the BATC Shop there so that you can purchase items at "rally" prices (cash only!). Please pre-notify me (by replying to this forum post) if you will want any Portsdown or Ryde SD Cards so that we can get them made up beforehand.

I will also be taking the some test equipment so that I can run a Portsdown/Ryde clinic and measure the Noise Figure of receive preamps and transverters. Please note that if you want to measure the Noise Figure of any device for 13 cms and above, it will need to have a down-converted output at 1300 MHz or below for input to my test set-up.

Please post here if you are bringing equipment for test, fix-it or measurement. Then I will know what equipment to bring and, more importantly, what not to bring.

Looking forward to an interesting day.

Dave, G8GKQ

Looking forward to the event
Dave, could you bring your GPS locked spot frequency source please? I want to get both my Portsdowns and their Plutos set up spot on for 10GHz and 24GHz.
I'd also like to see how my BBGen Noise source measures up, 100kHz-5Ghz and if possible what its doing at 5.7GHz so I can use it there for testing.
Thanks
Gareth
