Wow!  Those of us from a certain era built our stations from parts scrounged from discarded television sets using designs handed down by amateur ancestors and our mentors.  Most of the TV sets came from behind the local Radio/TV repair shop, not the town dump, but they were in the "free pile."

OFDM is also what is used for [A]DSL, and, but at UHF, or SHF, digital TV (terrestrial and satellite). It's also, at least in Europe, for digital radio, at VHF. I think it is also used for 4/5G mobile. phones. It is not intrinsically secure. It's main advantage is that it gets close to the

Thanks. I have no doubt this is good stuff. Looks well made and the price is affordable. I regret nobody in Europe makes such equipment (or maybe I didn’t hear about yet). When I buy from sellers in the USA it becomes incredibly expensive when shipping, VAT, and customs fees are added. 73
