Here's a rather nasty looking sweep of the 30M LPF with everything in the box - not the same as when it was on the bench!
I have some work to do! Mark On 30/01/2014 16:28, John Greusel wrote:

I've just done some experiments this morning with a new design/replacement for the 15MHz LPF, which I can't get quite right as Farhan designed: http://g0mgx.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/minima-remaking-15mhz-lpf.html I'll do the sweep requested later today as I move onto TX testing...

I knew you'd finish before I even turned on the iron!! Good audio on the video. Thanks for posting. 73, Steve.
