Video of Pete's VERY COOL Zia Build
This is cool in so many ways: 
I like the RF amp along the back with the LP filter off to the side. 
The stacked PC boards are very nice. 
The Display -- What can I say? 
Having stations from the Philippines (DU) for the receiver demo.  Nice touch. 
Mesh-like side panels!  And the plexiglass top!  Wow! 
PAINTING THE COPPER-CLAD FRONT PANEL BLACK!  WOW!  BLACK IS THE NEW COPPER! 
Nice feet for the rig.  Feet are key. 
NO NOTICEABLE PHASE NOISE.  No Si5351 output bleed-over. 
Love the name:  ZIA!!  (That was my only contribution.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Very, very pretty Pete. Nothing I ever build is neat enough to be that small. :-)
