Update: MINI1300 Antenna Analyser/R&S ZVH4 Comparison... Take 2.
The issue was the calibration. Once the 'open, short and 50 Ohm' calibration was done the MINI1300 followed the R&S far more closely. Personally I doubt I would buy one as I hate touch screens. If a bead of sweat drops onto the screen it goes off and does something else. That said, the results from the MINI1300 are certainly good enough for amateur radio use. Apologies for the extremely poor production of the video, I didn't have much time to spend on it so it was just done quickly on the floor with the hand held camera. I'll leave the previous video up as some people may get similar whacky results and will be relieved to know it's most likely just a calibration issue.

A Quick Look At The Response Of A Mini1300 Antenna Analyser
มุมมอง 17K4 ปีที่แล้ว
How does a budget antenna analyser stack up against a professional unit. I thought I would see if the MINI1300 would show results that were close to a professional unit... Update: th-cam.com/video/THG035LiUkY/w-d-xo.html
High Voltage Fun At The HARG (Hills Amateur Radio Group)
มุมมอง 1.7K5 ปีที่แล้ว
One of the guys had access to a HiPot testing device so we connected it to some capacitors. We tested the air-spaced capacitor shown in the video and two vacuum caps. One vacuum cap was fine and the other appeared to have a bit of air inside it. The video clips don't join together too well so I just uploaded the air-spaced cap test as a stand alone video.

I thought I had better upload something to show I'm not dead. I will be getting back into the amateur radio videos in the new year, unfortunately other stuff that's further up the priority list is absorbing all my free time at the moment.
What Are You Likely To Hear On 137Khz...
มุมมอง 2.8K5 ปีที่แล้ว
I heard some guys talking about what antennas to use on 137KHz today. I had never listened to that band so I thought I would take a listen and see what sort of activity was there. Ok, I was only using an FT857 but I think it showed me all I need to know. I won't be bothering with 137KHz personally. It's easy to listen to this band as most HF radio receivers go down to at least 100KHz. My old FT...

Old School Radio... My NOS RK (GK) 71s Have Arrived
มุมมอง 8626 ปีที่แล้ว
I can see why people say these look a lot like 813s. The idea is to triode connect them in parallel in series with the paralleled GU-81M screen grids to provide AM. And yes, I do know they're pentodes and not beam tetrodes.
VK6PM's "Pre Loved" Pi Tank ATU...
มุมมอง 3.5K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Peter VK6PM picked this ATU up for $10 at a recent hamfest. I think he was robbed... seriously though, with a bit of cleaning and component rearrangement this would be a nice little ATU that could take at least 100W.

This Choke Will Do
มุมมอง 1.1K6 ปีที่แล้ว
I wound another choke on a toroidal core I had handy but still had to move the dip in the response to a band of frequencies between 10m and 6m where it wouldn't bother the amp. I measured it... 169.9uH.

It's a good idea to check the response of any choke you're going to put across an amplifier output.
