They no doubt add a small amount of inductance and capacitance which could affect VHF operation, something to keep in mind. McMaster-Carr has them on page 819 of their online catalog: http://www.mcmaster.com/ Very nicely done!!! Thank you. These are the ideal thing for an experimenter. -- regards from :: John Bartley 43 Norway Spruce Street Stittsville, Ontario Canada, K2S1P5 ( If you slow down it takes longer - does that apply to life also?) -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- One thing to watch out for.

Wherever are you going to find temperatures in a receiver that would melt any plastic? Polystyrene miniature tube sockets were used in "UHF" radio receiving projects. Soldering to their contacts took some skill to avoid melting the plastic, but there was no problem during operation. I'll grant you that transmitting firebottles might bother a polystyrene socket. |

That was what I was thinking. Someone trying to use a sweep tube to build a small transmitter, and having heat problems with the socket. -- Michael A. Terrell Central Florida |
