    1st purchase from AliExpress - success!

    I've noticed that they are now accepting PayPal, so I thought I would browse around. Purchased a few items a couple of weeks ago and received first item, a multi-tester, TC1 for $11.48USD + free shipping. It shipped from a depot in eastern Canada. I've had one of these for a few years now but it...

    Dissatisfied eBay customer ...

    Just came in from a dissatisfied eBay customer; "All the caps are 36 volt while my radio is 12 volt. Is this some illegal kit designed to boost power beyond the FCC limits? If it is I will contact Ebay as I am not a criminal. You will take the kit back or I will contact Ebay tomorrow." Oh my...

    School me on SSTV on 14.230Mhz ...

    I was monitoring a local SDR on 20m and viewed something I've never seen before ... a call sign displayed on the waterfall. How is that done? If it is only a function of the SSTV mode, could it not be incorporated into a voice mode? Like a roger beep feature that would ID the station at each key-up.

    MLCCs - Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors, anyone using these in-place of electrolytic's in our radio's?

    Many advantages. Me not being a RF or Audio Engineer, I ponder how these new devices would operate in our vintage CB/HAM radio's. A few links of interest below; https://product.tdk.com/en/techlibrary/solutionguide/mlcc_replace-guide.html

    Cobra CA-72 electrolytics ...

    I do not have one of these microphones on hand to physically inspect but after reviewing the schematic I count 6 electrolytics. Worthy of me putting together a kit.

    Can anyone top this? ... 202 days shipping from China

    Pleasantly suprized/shocked when I received an item from a Chinese eBay seller the other day. Took only 202 days since I ordered. I received a refund a long time ago due to non-delivery. 50% of my orders from eBay China never shows up. I guess this is a good thing that it actually arrived...

    I was forced to do some maintenance on my IMAX 2000 installation. Earlier high winds had unscrewed the top section and threw it to the ground. It was stuck in the ground like a javelin. Fortunately and amazingly no damage was done. I cleaned up the threads and reattached. I have a bottle of...

    10.000000Mhz TCXO clock for $15???

    Just came across one of these. I've been looking at 10Mhz reference clocks for years and watching the price continue to drop. Is this something a hobbyist could use on test equipment that has provision for an external 10.00000Mhz clock reference? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/224041680715?ul_noapp=true
