The LM386 or LM380 would make a nice little audio amp inside... with the LM386 giving a 1/2 W and the LM380 up to 5W.

When I was still installing for Bell & Shaw I used Perfect Vision, Commscope and Vextra. I liked the PV stuff, it was easy to work with and with Thomas & Betts RG6 Snap n' Seal Ulitmate connectors they went on fairly smooth. At home I use mostly PV and some Commscope. The runs to my bud are PV...

I love my WSI 6' Special. I have a DMX741 on it for C/Ku and its hooked up to an Openbox S9 and a DSR922 for H2H. I get a fair amount of S2 channels like the CBC on F1 and some other S2 stuff out there... mostly the stronger stuff. On H2H it works great. I get anywhere from 50 to 80 % quality on...

Yeah I did call SRL and they said essentially "I dont know". I checked my TDT and its 667. My Channel count is 884. Tryed everything from sitting on 204 for a few hours and 216 over night. Unplugged it for 15 minutes, plugged it back in on channel 216 and let it sit... Still no guide. The...

Hey, I got a DSR 922 converted and ready for action on H2H with SRL. I subbed the box and added the guide on websams. It sat on channel 216 over night and I have no guide. Ive googled till googles end and I have not come up with a solution. Ive done everything except a master reset and I really...

So here are a few ham related SDR sites.... personally I run a Softrock 80/40m transceiver and Ive built a couple junk box parts SDR's... And the best part is the radios Ive built from the parts in my junk box work real nice, even with low quality components. A simple peice of hardware and a...

Now here is something that peaks my interest... I use SDR's (Software Defined Radio's) here in the ham shack but I never thought of building one to play with the IF coming out of my LNB... I only play with them down on the HF ham bands... SDR's such simple technology that so few understand the...

Temperature here last night dipped to -37C and my DMX741 was working like a charm.

Hey, I have a DSR-920 I am working on for another satelliteguy member here. The battery in the VCII RS module exploded and leaked all over the main board. There are a few surfacemount resistors & capacitors that have coroded right off the board. I have it all cleaned up and the board looks...

Hey, Im on the other side of the province in Thunder Bay... I had my 1.2m dish up and got a fair amount of stuff... I had some stuff on 91W,99W, 107W ... I have a limited line of sight so thats all i could really get.. but it was fun. I was useing a Andrews Type 120 dish and a WSI c-band lnb...
