This build session, before the regular meeting, is to build up a pile of ADF4350 synthesizer boards. <br><br>These can be wired (5 wires) and mounted (solder some brass standoffs) to the Arduino interface board with header strips. We will also work on some copper pipe caps that can be drilled and tapped (Kerry N6IZW providing the tools for that - thank you). <br></span><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br>We have a number of W1GHZ transverters that are on the way. These synthesizers are the first step. <br><br>I'm bringing LNB on a Stick for critique and next steps. Remote and potentially autonomous receivers for 10GHz Phase 4 downlinks are the goal. We have already learned a lot and see plenty more places to get traction and utility out of a very inexpensive and portable design. <br><br>If you are in or around San Diego, or know someone who is, please let them know about the SDMG. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>-mdt</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
