    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.

    Perfect Vision Coaxial Cable

    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...

    6' dish FS6D

    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...

    New Twist for This Hobby -- GnuRadio

    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...

    Hello, Yeah I know the bracket on the back is all screwed up. The screw holes dont allow me to put it on an angle like everybody else. I am going to go get some scrap angle from the shop and make my own anyways. That shouls make it easier on the actuator anyways, but for the time being, that...
