C'mon you belong to all of the obscure social media sites, you have the latest iPhone, and Smart Watch, two FT710's and matching Mercury Amps, an 84-inch wall mounted TV with 500 channels and gasp you even voted for what is his name... yet you don't have a CNC Milling Machine.
Yesterday I spent a bit of quality time fabricating boards for the new Hybrid Wireless Set made all the easier because I have a CNC Milling Machine. No messy super glue and cut copper pads, just chuck in a blank board and push the start button.
The additional advantage of the CNC is the board layout is standard and pays attention to preventing unwanted feedback loops, provisions for heatsinks and standard mounting arrangements. I would rather spend my bench time soldering parts to a board versus trying to unstick my fingers or remove superglue from my fingers so I can use biometrics with my smart phone.
Two BPF's and an IRF510 RF Amp
According to a guy who should know, he stated that smart phones are dead! Gee, you just downloaded an app that tells when your Girl Friend might get pregnant. You don't need that app if you are homebrewing radios using your CNC machine.
Them that know can make things go. In a prior blog post the schematic for the BPF's was shared. The IRF510 is a standard design and can be found throughout the n6qw.com website.
