Fellow techies, In light of all the horror stories on Ebay, I thought it would be a Good Thing to call attention to a GOOD seller for a change. If you ever deal with seller ID "toomanyamps," do so with absolute confidence! I had bought from him what was advertised as 300 feet of

I just purchased an item from one of my "favorite" sellers on eBay, someone who ripped me off in the past with a poorly described non working item (but it powered up!) and ridiculously overpriced shipping and I swore I'd never do business with him again.

Jerry has described the situation fairly well. You take pot luck, and the Chinese supplier does not know which are which. Out of four units I have, two are remote controllable, one is fixed at (reasonably close to) 10MHz, while the fourth had no output at all. I've since discovered that this last

I wonder if "conjugate regenerative divider" qualifies as an inexpensive converter As we used to say in racing, "Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?" CRDs are not particularly expensive, especially when you consider the performance and what it would take to achieve that performan

If you rephrase the question, it becomes easier: what is the drive impedance I need to use to inject a signal at this point without getting reflection? 25 ohms because the two lines are in parallel at that point. Now, however, signals coming from the other lines will not see a matched impedance
