  • Another fantastic episode... Keep it up guys... Is it just me or is the Audio on this episode a little muffled?

  • @BlackAck90 There were audio problems this time for sure. We hope to have it corrected by the next show.

  • Oh wow, this series is on YouTUBE now. When did that happen?

  • @MadManMarkAu It happened about the time YouTube began. We got on before anyone knew much about YouTube.

  • @dubuque2010 Well, AC will have an effect if the stepper motor is AC driven. So, yes, a 50Hz step-down transformer might fail at driving your 60Hz load. Just curious, does the step-down transformer get warm if you try to use it for the sewing machine?

  • Jaycar Electronics in Canberra have a couple stores that still sells caps, resistors and other sundries related to electronics and have helped me many times, a big thanks to all the lads at the Belconnen store.

    Another great show guys! 73's

  • Jim, is AC freq (50-60hz) effect stepper motors? My XYL has an embroidery machine the runs on 120VAC 60hz and we are now living overseas at 220AC 50hz. A step down transformer does not operate the motors in the machine. I suspect that the reason is due to that the step down passes the 50Hz which is to slow for the motors.

  • Hmmm. Just looking at the stats. I am amazed that once again we are hugely popular in Namibia.

  • Another great video guys! Happy Thanksgiving all around (Including outside the USA).

    Good job on the Valve project, Peter!

    We also enjoy Radio Shack Project Kits here at our QTH! @K4TEP (Twitter) got his ham "ticket" in part to the lessons the electronic project kits taught him. We also rely heavily on Gordo's study guides!!

  • A great show - particularly liked Peter's regen set. I look forward to a test of it on 160/80/40 metres with extra coils (spiderweb coils seem to work well).
