- Hi DCflux, Tried the bandpass + notches didn't change much. On changing to the BpBr, any idea how much capacitance is needed? I have a fistfull of those Johanson caps. Also, a buddy of mine has a Sinclair Q202G that I'm thinking about also. Will pick it up tomorrow see if it is any

I'm thinking the 2-10 or 2-14pF ones. On Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 4:01 PM, tahrens301tahr...@swtexas.net wrote: - Hi DCflux, Tried the bandpass + notches didn't change much. On changing to the BpBr, any idea how much capacitance is needed?  I have a fistfull of those Johanson caps. Also, a

Hi Dcflu7x, It's a DB products SP-1894. Can't get any info on it from anywhere. Each of the 8 cans have the approx dimensions of 5 x 21. A single screw-type shaft in the center, and one SO-239 sticking out of the top of the can. No variable caps, or anything else on the cans. Each can has an

Ok, if they are the type with the variable coupling loop you should have 2 coupling loop holes per cavity, just one has a round hole cover. If so take 2 cavities and transplant a coupling loop to one of them to make 1 band pass cavity. Make another one for the RX side Place the band pass cavities

Hi Ralph, No, they were 10 as came from the factory for 166 mhz, so it didn't look like they were cut for anything in particular. DCflux - I started to do what you suggested... sounded like something else to try. Took the link out of the last can the loop wasn't soldered to the PL259

I've actually seen that before on a Wacom. Go with silver bearing solder if you have it. On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 11:19 AM, tahrens301tahr...@swtexas.net wrote: Hi Ralph, No, they were 10 as came from the factory for 166 mhz, so it didn't look like they were cut for anything in particular.

Hi Bob, I was pretty curious about it as well, especially in the 'early days' of this project. Nobody seemed to know much about the stubs. If you are looking at the spec. analyzer trk gen, you see the notch. The left side goes down deep, then comes up on the right side of the notch. But,
