First time with 'Manhattan' style construction, although it worked perfectly and was very easy. In this video I just did a scan from about 7.100 to 7.210 MHz. As you can see, I took advantage of another ham's 3D prints.
After all, if an idea is worth doing, then... it's worth overdoing.I used a Milwaukee 1/4" Diamond Max hole saw to cut circles for the solder-points. Everything else is ground. Later, I found that I missed a point, so I used a single "MePAD" glued in that spot.I found the default audio amp to be a bit quiet. I plan to replace it with the 'push-pull' version. I'm definitely keeping this to hang up on the wall.
