More on building low noise 8.4 GHz synthesizers: http://ipnpr.jpl.nasa.gov/progress_report/42-166/166A.pdf You can probably put one together using eval boards from the mfrs for $500 (1 board for the VCO/PLL, 1 for the loop filter, 1 for the DDS) ___

Hello all, I received my TBOLT from TAPR and proceeded to stoke it up. However I have not been able to get response from TBOLTMON. I use a laptop with a USB port driving a USB-serial converter marked N287. The laptop, unfortunately, runs VISTA. However I can drive an HP Z3815A with a null modem
