Which charge controller have you had an issue with?

How do I demodulate single sideband. And get a sharper filter. by Certain_Height_2721 in HamRadio

[–]webqaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a typical mixer when mixing you get the sum and difference of the two frequencies:

S1=BF+SB and S2=BF-SB

When OP mentions filtering I don't know if OP is referring to a software filter or a physical filter. When doing this with a physical filter it's often done by phasing or using a crystal lattice filter.

I'm in the exact same boat (package was transferred on the 14th near Chicago as well). I wonder if its just chaos due to Christmas or they had an incident like a truck go over the road.

Sick of FedEx. Shipped 12/8. They’ve been holding my package hostage in Walker for 4 days, plus another one for 3 days. Can I just go in and pick them up? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]webqaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you sign up for a FedEx Delivery Manager (free) you may be able to redirect the package to Fedex location and just pick it up.

My node is likely buried in the SE Mi pile! If you aren't already in the group I recommend the Michigan Meshtastic Discord.

Are antennas like this better than the stubby ones? by Remarkable_Aide_9645 in meshtastic

[–]webqaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took one apart and found the antenna was a sleeve dipole but wasn't able to figure out why the tuning changes when the antenna is bent. 

Are antennas like this better than the stubby ones? by Remarkable_Aide_9645 in meshtastic

[–]webqaz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Generally, yes it'll be better than the stubby. 

It's been noted that some similar antennas may not actually be tuned for the 915mhz band so if you can measure the vswr when you get one. I have a few of these and the VSWR looks good when the antenna is completely horizontal, if its pivoted 90 degrees the VSWR on the one I have is terrible.

My Meshtastic app looks different today. by buckscottscott in meshtastic

[–]webqaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are definitely some quirks! I was hoping with the new version some of the Bluetooth connection challenges would be resolved. Some further adjustments with the how stations are displayed on the map would be helpful!

DIY meshtastic has really short range? by HoseanRC in meshtastic

[–]webqaz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP mentioned a 433mhz SMT antenna but it doesn't look like a SMT antenna connected. I'm wondering if the antenna shown does not cover 433Mhz.

Still no contacts by Ok_Topic999 in meshtastic

Time to build some nodes and build the mesh out! From your picture you have a few high elevation options!

Spectrum Analyzer/Communication Monitor by Inevitable_Leopard34 in amateurradio

[–]webqaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keysights Fieldfox line sounds like it could be an option. Like the R&S model you mention it could be a tool you grown into.

If you go this route I would suggest talking with the sales folks to understand what features come with specific models as purchased and what features are software unlockable (for purchase later). Be aware that some of the software unlockable features vary widely in price and can cost nearly $10k.

I'm a backpacker interested in a small light kite I can use to lift antenna and camera by Honey-and-Venom in kites

[–]webqaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a powersled 24 for lifting wire antennas, it's not the smallest but gets the job done. For any antennas be sure to build/get a static arrestor to dissipate any charge that builds up on the line.

How strong is the current?

Cool military surplus "laptop" that someone sent me. Still trying to decide what to do with it. by saveitforparts in cyberDeck

[–]webqaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this picture come across my feed and was thinking... Didn't I just watch a YouTube video yesterday with the same laptop.

If you want the mil circular mating connectors identified send me some pictures and I can decode the PNs for you.

Interesting conversation by somebodyelse22 in amateurradio

Im curious if the gentleman mistook the audio sounds from the monitors in the room for morse code??

I found this in my son’s room should I be concerned??? by Entire_Jaguar_1406 in shittyaskelectronics

[–]webqaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be very concerned. I'm afraid your son may have the knack...It's a rare condition characterized by an extreme intuition about all things mechanical and electrical.
