Hi folks, I wonder if anyone knows of any other sources for the Elector Boards -- the shipping to the States (25 euros) is horrible. I tried etching the boards myself, but I can't get a good registration between layers. Thanks. 73, Jack (W0FNQ)

Ray Yeap, like I said, in not too few words, it is sort of an idea. Experimental. I am seeing that the suppression of the LO IN, which then is modulated by the signal from the antenna, will unsuppress the LO IN and mix with it. And the spur I think would have to mix with something coming in on

A friend tried to etch his own from the layouts and gave up. It wasn't the registration as he is OK on double layer boards, and has done lots before, you can centre drill the mounting holes and use those. What he had trouble with was the very fine artwork, and either etched away the tracks or

Dave, Thanks for the reply. I used Press and Peel on a laser printer and got very nice patterns, even on the fine pitched lines. I tried a couple methods of getting registration -- taping the top and bottem images together, then drilling index holes through a sandwich of the images and the
