Filters: Crystals, LC, Mechanical, SAW, etc.


I thought this was an interesting look at filters and crystals.  And even mechanical filters.  Remember:  Those little SAW containers became the lapel pin symbols of the FMLA.  

 I know there are readers who object to anything produced using AI.  This video is in that category.  But those who object would presumably have accepted the videos or other content found through the use of a search engine, right?  Perhaps those who object to this kind of material should just turn off their computers, wait for the next delivery of QST or 73 Magazine (!) and hope that no AI tools were used in their production. Also, I would point our that reading this blog is entirely optional.

  1. Hold on . . . it can't be true that reading the SolderSmoke blog is optional. You should ask Gemini about that.

    It *is* true, though, that AI productions closely resemble ones created without it. Both kinds are prone to factual error, unexamined biases and suppositions, naïve interpretation, sentimental distortion, and padding of content to play to YouTube algorithm and monetization considerations. Preferring one kind over the other is more a matter of taste than substance.

    AI is a *human* creation intended for *human* purposes, and to quote Maya Angelou, "Nothing human is alien to me."
