Well Gang thanks to all who sent words of encouragement during this
seige...
The badgers are still chortling over the guy who had never wound a
toroid til the NC38S kit (and wound all of those backwards) who
jumped into that RadioKit and took most of them out to 'check that they
were correct'....
Tell you one thing... Now I can check inductors and capacitors at the
drop of a hat with the trusty MFJ-259....Nothing like doing it to learn how.. :-)
We didn't get th job done, but we now have a VFO thats on frequency
(subject to verification by those who now have the opportunity to
joust with not only the original builder's work, but with that of
debugger #1 as well... :-) )
But who am I to deprive all the others of the 'Joy of DeBugging' too....
Now I can power on my NC38S with a little more confidence...
Didn't even have time to learn how to use the Radio Shack probe and
and software...
Did pick up a nice little 4.0 AH battery on one of my parts sweeps that
should run the NC38s for a while... Neat for the bench too. Its a
BP4-12 ... paid 15 bucks for it.... Don't know if that's a good deal...
Well now to organize all this stuff and get it on the way to Mike....
And tear into that 1/2 bushel of crystals....
And you badgers....Go west.....
