Or8 radionortheast, nice to see you mate! Hope you are doing great!
Yeah i can't sign in to post.. I'm getting better but was absolutely gutted because I've been over there for years probably before the nrg bloke took it over..
I know that i haven't got any radio, electronics skills and that but loved reading about it and looking at the schematics and i was soaking up some information..
And i miss being able to interact with people on there, especially you coz you're not far from me and have chatted about radio, which is what it's all about innit.
When i got the banned message i was gutted.. I didn't deserve a ban.. He could have just told me to mind me own business really but no, the man has a god complex and he is mightyer than anyone..
Funny really because when i told him about the site information and updates section on his site and told him that maybe he could have used that to let everyone know what had happened, he didn't like it. And 6 hours later he did exactly what i had said that he should have done!
I emailed him during my meltdown 'in bits and is was the end of the world and all that' and told him exactly what i thought of him and he obviously didn't like that.. If only i could have kept it together eh it might have been a different story!

maybe they’ll get the trance music back on, i’m glad when it resets all messages are removed, I wrote a message afew weeks ago noticed it was gone.

that radionecks profile has a lot of old pirate radio shows!! few of my mates have shows on there from back in the day

I sincerely hope the guy who ran these stations is ok, had a deep voice. I do wonder if he lives in SE still or if he
emigrated to somewhere.

He played this track Hocus Pocus by Focus very energetic track.

I'm working on an updated version of the PCB, which will be smaller than the original one I did, but has extra spaces for parallel resistors (or series in some cases) for the less usual values, so that it can alll be built with E12 series resistors (which will save constructors going shopping for some of the less usual values used).  For example, 50k 1% is difficult to find, but 100k 1% is a common value, so putting a pair in parallel will get you there. 

I'm rapidly getting a dislike of the policies of some component suppliers - small quantities (10s) are often as expensive as 100 off, and the postage charges are insane!

As far as possible, I'm trying to stick to common values and trying to re-use values (like the 6n8 used throughout the filter above).  This makes construction more economical.  I was going to redesign for 10n throughout (which would be cheaper, even at 1%), but the resistor values became horribly awkward and would need as many as seven resistors in combinations of series and parallel to achieve the values!

As usual, electronic design is a whole lot of compromises!
