A couple of years back, in an exchange with an engineer from Texas Instrument
Germany, who is working in Freising, Barvaria, I was told of a cheap and easy
silver plating procedure he uses on his duplexers. He uses Photographic
Developer (which has a really high level of 'free silver') and a simple one or
two cell power source = 1.5 to 3.0 volts. (While not discussed, I would
suggest that 'used fluid' may be better than new and may be obtained very
cheaply). This should be an ideal solution for the DIYers in our group.
If interested, why not contact Hans-Juergan Schott directly at <

This should be an interesting topic for our Tecnical Info page as well.
Hans-Juergan, if you are monitoring, pls forward this procedure to us as I
think many of us would be interested. Tnx.
73 to all,
