I have been playing with a new Triquint ULNA device (TQP3M9036). It
Shows a lot of promise. It is like a MAR or MSA device in that it is
50ohm in and out. and has a claimed NF about .4db nf ( their numbers).
I have built several pramps to test them and have gotten even better
than they claim and they cover 50-1296 with ease and NF is .4ish or
below. The S11 and S22 are both great and the OIP3 is +35db also
...very nice device. It has great promise as a good terrestrial LNA.
Preamps are foolproof to build and would cost under $50 if all the best
quality parts are used.
Just for information only ...

Hi all,
I’m ready on 6cm with the same dish I’m using on 3cm.
Despite the strong local 5 GHz WiFi noise, had a nice 579/569 first QSO with this setup today with HB9Q, thank you Dan !
Setup is a 3.7m dish and 60W at CP feeder.
I can be QRV on 6cm or 3cm most of the days, skeds and tests are very welcome, as usual.

I stumbled on this site and discovered interresting things.
2m Dual-RX (Special RX converter for 2m adaptive (EME) receiving)
http://www.ha1ya.hu/htmkepek/dual_rx.htm
ME2-XP 2m dual RX (EME) transverter (The first dual RX color display
transverter on the World!)
http://www.ha1ya.hu/htmkepek/me2xp_spec.htm
Does anyone have feedback from one of these 2 devices?
It sounds interesting but I'm looking for someone who has this kind of
device to exchange feedback, especially with the use of MAP65 (setup -
configuration).

Hi mooners,
For 10Ghz only one preamp is available and we will close further production after delivering more then 100 pcs.
We expect a crowed band in the coming time,hi.
We are currently preparingthe first batch of a super LNA for 24Ghz with NF: 1.1dB
Furthemore we would like feedback for the design and production of an 24Ghz SSPA.
Design goal is: 10Watt rf out, Vdc: 15Vd and WG connections.We will design against a reasonable price but need your feedback.
Thanks in advance,
Jan PAoPLY
Hello everyone:
I seek to add a camera to the center of my EME array to know when it¹s
on/off the moon.
Requirements:
1. wired camera (not wireless nor Bluetooth),
2. CCTV type is OK if available
3. All weather capable 20 deg F through 110 deg. F
4. Reliable all the time
5. Monochromatic or color (either one) is OK
I recall there was some detail about viewing the moon that a certain focal
length (lens) is best and I¹d welcome (please) camera recommendations
available today.
Questions:
What specific camera manufacturer and model do you recommend?
What specific monitor (manufacturer and model) recommended?
What cable type is required? (impedance, number of conductors and gauge
for 150 foot or 48 meter length)
Thank you; very 73,
Dave KJ9I

I am almost done with firmware for MABMPU simple controller. This is a potential replacement for DRO levels that can be expanded in the future to work with various popular EME trackers like RazTrak, DrzTrack, OE5JFL, F1EHN.
In order to use this setup, one MABMPU encoder board takes on role of the controller and reads the US Digital SEI bus encoders and displays the results on the LCD. This simple controller works with US Digital A2 and A2T encoders or MABMPU encoder board (using MAB25, MAB28, ETS25 or MPU9150 inclinometer).
Power (+12VDC) is provided to the encoders over the 6-wire CAT-3 cable from the MABMPU simple controller. In theory, the US Digital SEI bus can drive cables over 100m.
For those that already have a EME tracker which utilizes US Digital encoders, I have a version of the MABMPU LCD firmware that monitors the SEI encoder bus for encoder read position commands and simply displays the positions on the LCD display. In this configuration, the power to the MABMPU monitor is obtained from the SEI 6-wire bus.
Simple Controller:

Hi everyone.
I am new to 6M EME but getting the parts together to build a 4x5 element 6M
EME array.
I think I will need a 6M mast-mounted preamp. I would like to have one that
is heavy duty, problem free, and will handle bypassing 1500 watts when I am
transmitting.
Any suggestions or advice?
73, Richard
