Hi everyone, just a quick intro as ive just joined
Im an electronics student.
19 from Uk
Ive always taken things apart and built things (proberly no different to you lot).
I am interested in RF and radio but alot of electronics in general aswell


heres some pics:

my little corner:



You can guess what these are(?)











microwave gunn modulator:


good old gunns:

 

Ahhh organised chaos

I spy lots of Maplin stuff

Give it another 17 years and you'll have caught up with the amount of junk I currently own lmao

Welcome to Electrotech by the way - what part of the UK are you from ?

 

I think its the 13.8v psu and soldering iron from maplins. Im really not that keen on Maplins!
Next on the list is a spectrum analyser
The rest of the room is filled with boxes full of components etc.




cheers for the welcome

 

That's more parts than some small stores.

I WANT IT ALL! Guess I gotta get me a job. I got a modest collection of junk, you have quite the small cuban nation of parts there.

Wow! I think you can be a teacher or a very rich student.

 

They look like quite high power transmitters, intended for low VHF operation.
But their exact application eludes me.

Don't know if you're joking or not?, no smiley, but they look like pirate radio transmitters, which is why he ignored requests as to his location!

Yes that thought had occured to me, but looking at the coils, they seemed a bit large for 90-100Mhz.
I was thinking of a bit lower in frequency.
Also, there was no obvious input for the baseband signal (audio or data).

On edit:
Having had another look, I think that Nigel has it sussed!
The boy has a production line going there, all those boxes of components are for the frequency generator section of those transmitters.

The construction quality is very nice on those

I see no grounding on the metal boxes ........

 

The whole box forms the ground plane.

 

Not the ground plane - earthing to save you getting zapped if anything nasty happens to your mains input.
