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. :-)
