I was really pleased to see Shane G0JNR finish this receiver. He has been an active member of the SolderSmoke community for many years. For example, back in 2018 we see him commenting on KU4NO's FB rig:

Shane G0JNR here. I've just got my Soldersmoke DC rx up and running! The thing that put me off earlier in the year was the 3d printed coil former. But my son has now got one and printer and printed one for me - as an added bonus, it glows in the dark! It didn't work straight away but perseverance has paid off. 73
Thanks Shane! Congratulations and Welcome to the Hall of Fame.
Glow-In-The-Dark PTO Coil Form

OK, the glow-in-the-dark coil form is very, very cool! I haven't done a whole lot of Manhattan style building, I love the dead-bug pot on the board idea too! Building around here for the last week or so has been un-building--the power relay for my rig gave up. However! Uninstalling the relay led me to the discovery that the rig was getting three volts less power that it was supposed to, so all in all, I went from the rig having no power to it having more power than it did before it broke :)
ReplyDeleteDude. A glow-in-the-dark PTO. That is inspired!
