Secondary Lightning Protector
Remember the axiom; "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." We offer this device as a secondary radio protector. This lightning protector contains a modified spark gap that provides that ounce of prevention. In addition, there is no substitute for a good earth ground, AC line surge, and spike protection. Keep all ground leads as short as possible. Where lightning is involved, we make no warranties.TOROID Bobbin is 1-1/4 inch outside diameter. Inside diameter is 7/8 inch. Type 43 material recommended use in Baluns 3-200 MHz. 2600 gauss @ 12 oersted. Ideal bobbin size for the heart of a 4:1 Antenna Matching Balun.

2N7000 These N-Channel Enhancement Mode Field Effect Transistors. These devices are used in many RASCAL GLX and GLK sound card interfaces, as they have been designed to minimize on-state resistance while providing rugged, reliable, and fast switching performance. They can be used in most applications requiring
up to 400mA DC and can deliver pulsed currents up to 2A. These products are particularly suited for low voltage, low current applications. Because of their insulated gate feature, they also perform a measure of isolation between gate and source.
This device is designed as a general purpose amplifier and switch. The useful dynamic range extends to 100 mA as a switch and to 100 MHz as an amplifier. Employed in many PSK31 interfaces as the PTT switch.
2N3904 NPN Transistor with short, formed leads for Printed Circuit Board installation. 5 / .99, 2N3904S
This transistor is used in some PSK31 circuits to activate transceiver PTT. Control of the PTT action is via software. The same PTT feature is activated in SSTV/sound card software.
YES, we have them, and SUCH a deal. While others sell the MRF 515 at 5 times the price, we bought enough to get large, Quantity Discount.

10 K pot for audio level control in PSK31 and SSTV interface circuits where transceiver (input & output)
jack(s) to sound-card I/O is required.
Used in PSK31 transceiver to sound-card interface, this shielded, twin cable has two, 3.5mm stereo connectors on one end. When using with PSK31, SSTV, RTTY, and Packet Sound card interfaces, only the "tip" of each connector is used; The "ring" is not used. NOTE that a large ferrite core is molded into each line near the sound card end of the cable. This is another means of preventing noise and RF feedback between the transceiver and the PC sound card. Twin cable is four feet long.

This case is made of durable plastic and is the same enclosure I use to house my personal PSK31 and SSTV ISO-KIT interface projects. When completed, the 2" x 2" circuit board, PSK31 interface fits easily into this project box. All sides and surfaces are smooth and the ''Live-Hinge'' lid has an easy open internal snap-lock. The snap-lock allows easy access to set internal pots and/or controls. 3-1/2"x2-1/2"x1-1/4". Made In the USA, exclusively for BUX CommCo
