$545 for the FCC license. There may also be a fee for registering the individual links, but I haven't gotten that far yet. On Wed, Feb 21, 2018 at 1:58 PM, Keefe John wrote: > How much does that cost anyways? > > Keefe > > > > On 2/21/2018 12:11 PM, Mathew Howard wrote: >

No attachment, but you can have quite a bit of alignment mismatch on rectangular waveguide without causing it to fail. As long as the long axis aligns with the long axis of the other part you should be good. This also assume that the two waveguides are the same or very similar frequency/size.

Some inverter systems keep the inverter running all the time powering the load so there is never a transfer from mains to inverter power. Most have a transfer switch of some kind. Relays take some time to switch and you will be without power for some amount of time. But many devices can

Interesting... yeah match up the short walls with each other. That little area that is routed out is a section of lower frequency ridged waveguide. Not totally sure what it is doing, probably some kind of high pass or low pass filter effect. There are all kind of choke flange tricks

The T stem part of this device has circular waveguide with both V in it at the same time. Where the two rectangular waveguides come together, there is a cattle sorting chute, shoving all the steers one way and all the heifers the other way. So the waveguide marked with the V has V

The rectangular orientation of the two rectangular waveguides are at right angles only to simplify the mechanical design. The fact they are one way or the other just means you have to match the connecting device with their orientation. From: Steve Jones Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2018
