Some members have requested a RIG TESTING & CALIBRATION EVENING. This is being planned for 25th March 2026.
There will be three test tables: two with Marconi 2955 Mobile Radio test sets (manned by Mike GM8KCS, Peter GM4DTH and Colin GM4HWO) and a third table manned by Brian GM8BJF.
The Marconi 2955 test sets can measure TX power, deviation, RX sensitivity, SINAD etc up to 1GHz . Brian’s table will be able to measure Rx sensitivity, noise figure etc, i.e. more complex testing.
You are welcome to turn up with your rig and equipment and hope for the best OR you can email gm4hwo@gmail.com with specific requests for testing and calibration etc.
It would be useful to know basic details of the rig type, what you are trying to achieve etc, aerial and audio connections needed – bring the manual if you have it.
Note the meeting will be held is in the larger BHH Gathering Room at the rear. There will be an opportunity to socialise, drink beer etc. This is being planned as a relaxed non-formal meeting. Feedback and specific requests welcome.
