* RE-PRINTED BY POPULAR DEMAND *
DWEEBTECH ELECTRONICS PRESENTS THE NEW SMALL DOPPLER
RADIO DIRECTION FINDING SYSTEM
A group of local Toronto hams were approached and asked to design a
doppler direction finding system, by a buyer, apparently representing the
interests of a large chain of stores specializing in high-tech electronics.
Since our local group on the repeater here has become known as the dweebs
we decided to call the company DWEEBTECH. Several late nights of work and
a considerable outlay of cash later the "buyer" left the company. After
about two more months of late nights, considerably more cash, and several
design enhancements later our "buyer" was nowhere to be found, presenting
us with an intriguing problem, ie; what to do with the product.
So you may ask, "How does this benefit me specifically ?". Since
the device was virtually ready to go into production we decided to release
the units to the public at manufacturers direct prices. This will be
entirely dependent on demand. If no one is interested then we will cancel
the project and forget about it, but if there is enough interest we will
produce the items as per the following description.
The unit itself will work with any reasonably good VHF/UHF receiver,
transceiver, scanner or similar device and will be available with these
features:
Compact size case (4 x 4 x 2 in. approx.)
16 LED display unit
Power on, overload, and low signal indicators
Averaging circuitry to help eliminate random bearing display
fluctuations
EXTREMELY high speed microwave switching diodes
to reduce switching noise on the received signal
Tape out jack ( if enough requests )
Dual switch selected inputs ( if enough requests )
Earphone jack with speaker disconnect
Built in monitor speaker with volume control
