I was wondering if anyone in the mid-atlantic usa area goes to the Timmonium Hamfest?
I believe it is comming up in latter april.
In addition to lasers I do explore amateur radio.
N3IDS for those who know.
There is usually some laser stuff there.. mostly hene stuff...
I do intend on being there.
once i get the date i will post it.
Bengal... You need to bring my "car powered" 180mW unit there... just to mess with them!
Its basically like every dpss head i have here only i connect it to a pure sine wave DC/AC inverter through my cigarette outlet. Very neat toy.
This year I will know what to look for.
I got pretty much all I need for my other "hobby"
50 Watts on the "3 meter" band. ;)
Reminder,
Timmonium MD hamfest April 2,3
Anyone going?
If so I'll have my Ht with me , prob 449.3175 -rpt (yes its a low power portable repeater)
N3IDS is the call, so if your a ham and into lasers give me a call, prob be there sat.
If your not a ham, have something with photon lexicon written on it and il be sure to find ya!
CQ 532 nm
Yeap....
I'd sure like to go...Be a nice trip :cry: unfortunately too far
Maybe someday ...we'll meet
see ya 532nm ... cq cq cq Dog Xray...
Hum...only hearing static right now
Ahh there is other 3 meter people here aye aye saze de pirate!
i am in need of a small rf amp in 100 mw --out 1-10 watts wher or who can I get one min. amount of mula...
104.3 all solar powered
I have a few of these Ramsey PA-1`s that are modded with more adjustable ceramic cap
I have not tried these yet..
1 watt amps are easy, they are obsolete now, but there are similar modules ,
the ca2832 catv amp module will take 1mw in 1 watt out
it does run at 28v though
sony makes some similar, but these all run on 24 v
the minicircuits hela -10 ic is also a 1mw in 1 watt out , it does need a few external components. but it runs on 12 v
the amps draw approx 400 to 600 ma
these amps are very wideband, no tuning needed.
the ramsey tx is not the best to use. there is a Belkin fm tx (also known as a cd adaptor) it sells for about 35 bux around here at wal mart, it has a synth lcd disp, and stereo generation, in a very small package, if you use a era-3 ic you can get about 3- 6 mw, drive an amp i spoke of and you have a nice little tx.
I would but... Being in England I think I might have a little problem making a day trip!

nice info!
ok where can I get these broadband amps?
The mini-circuits can be gotten from the website, if you say you want some samples, (and you have a multimega corporation to put in the position field) ;)
you can get some for free. 1 or 2 quantity. as evaluation or sample units.
Made an error, the modules i said were sony are actually motorola.
i dont have a part number right now. but will post once i get it. its usually a mc something number
you could do a search for motorola catv amplifier
the modules are very simple to hook up , a cap on the input, a cap on the output, (.1uf should do) filter cap on the power, and hook up an antenna and signal source. and away you go.
