Re: newbee question about 10ghz
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.

Re: newbee question about 10ghz
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?

Re: newbee question about 10ghz
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.

Re: newbee question about 10ghz
Looks like the BLB310 is getting hard to source - is there enough interest for BATC to buy say 50 from Mini-kits?

Re: newbee question about 10ghz
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.
