Monday 20/02/2012


We took delivery of our new Kenwood TS-2000 on Monday night. After connecting the power supply and antenna a number of contacts were made.

Steve showed us his new toy.  It’s an XG3 which is a powerful programmable signal source that fits in the palm of your hand.






Spec fro the web site:
1.5-200 MHz with calibrated output levels: -107, -73, -33 and 0 dBm. Rich in harmonics to 1400 MHz.Frequencies programmed into memories above 200 MHz fundamental will automatically calculate the fundamental needed to generate the desired harmonic. 12 frequency memories, computer controllable. 
Dimensions:  4.3 x 2.5 x 0.8"    Includes serial cable.

We also managed to tune Alex’s now 70cm for the next balloon project.

Once again, another enjoyable evening.
