[DSP-10] A DSP-10 construction question

Mon, 22 Jul 2002 22:00:57 +0000

Rajiv,

this should not be a problem I think. First of all, 2m is not
very high frequency so I don't assume it is that critical
as long as the MMICs are soldered as close to the package as
possible.

Secondly, it sounds like you already have the correct version
that is preshaped from the MCL (Mini Circuits). My kit had the right
preshaped parts as well.

I am also at the moment soldering my DSP-10 kit so let us see
who can manage to get on the air first.. (hi)
