Baofeng UV5R accu eliminator part2

Received 2 very small DC-DC converters from China.
How is it possible 1€ free shipping from China?

Decided to break open  the  "accu eliminator" I payed 15€ local prize 
 loosing warranty but this type adapter does not work. 
  From China 5€ for the cartridge and power cord and 1 €  for the dc-dc regulator still is a bargain
The plastic case had to be forced open with a knife
Inside as expected a linear regulator with a 7808
A much too small heath sink  for 6W heath loss and  thermal protection trips after a minute with a UV5R.  I did not hear about problems with this adapter? must have  been
 first one sold?

The dc-dc converters need minimum 470uF elco on the output to filter switching ripple 
  
 I did not have a suitable 9V suppressor TVS diode for over voltage protection.  

like a  Unipolar Transient Voltage Suppressor Diode 5kW

Break Down: 8,33V...10,2V 5mA
Max Clamping: 14,3V  350A
DO204

10+€ 0,30  5KP7.5C    but crazy 7.5€ shipping  


The smaller regulator performs even better at low input Voltage.
10V -20V  input   8V out   drop 20-30 mV  with 1A load 
Impressive performance,  much better then I could get with the emitter follower regulator.
at 1A the the switching IC off the smaller became hot 50C-70C about
the total conversion loss is 100-400 mW estimated
Precaution  is needed these regulators have no short circuit-  reverse polarity- over voltage- or thermal protection 

  

For the UV5R  I used the bigger regulator
with the original Cap's  used with the UA7808
over the output extra  470u  and input 100u


the original  useless 7800 regulator


this tiny regulator performed best but heats up a bit at 1A
a tiny heat sink on the regulator IC would be enough or a very small PC fan


first result was okay had a long talk over the local repeater
No problem . the 7808 would trip thermal after 1 minute.


the small type uses the  MPS  MP2307N   claimed to be better then the LM2596
 the 1.5MHz switching frequency that was in some specs is a misprint
it's around 340kHz in the MPS specs.  chip seems to have  no internal protection.

2011-01-22 DIAMOND 2m 70cm 1m30 Colinear inside

Having relative poor signals on the local 70cm / 2m channels using this X50 Diamond collinear 70/2  1m antenna at a height of 25m. I needed to investigate what could be wrong. Measuring the cable only 3W is left for the antenna of the 10W 435MHz output from a IC451E The cable is 30m type H100 Z50 10mm outside diameter it is semi air-spaced but has an impossible 4mm² solid CU inner conductor not much air left. I preferred the H43 Z75 cable having lower loss and mechanical better ratio in conductor size. My antenna uses SO239 connector UHF type semi air spaced isolator.  3W should be enough for a comfortable noise free FM signal. But only 27km away at PA0A the signal is weak too weak something must be wrong? I made a simple reference dipole of 2x17cm CU wire. With this dipole the signals where totally worse. So the Diamond does work? I got curious to look inside. Maybe moisture penetration degraded the antenna. This  antenna is rainwater close in its n...

SPF5189z Low noise preamp 23cm

 14-4-2018 updated Above the low noise  preamp 50 - 4GHz    ebay  6€ Tested  2 small porto antennas 1 Baofeng UV antenna left   2nd best signal on PI2NOS 2 eBay DIAMONDSRH805S  wide band 144/432/1200  it works for its size as expected 3 piece of wire :   best signal in the setup... Unit under test at workbench. It was stable  50mA  at 5V   few days,  but sudden the current went up to 100mA And i could  no longer adjust it with the negative bias Voltage. The - Voltage went to zero and the SPF input port became low Z. This SPF5189z was broken  no oscillations, no input overload just it broke while i was receiving the PI2NOS 430.125 using a small antenna at the workbench. The specs of  SPF5189z  say it has an internal circuit  regulating the bias current. Replaced . again   with an other of the 5 spare SPF i have. The new one again could be adjuste...

BIJZEN mast en ontwerp fouten.

In 2013 heb ik een Bijzen aluminium mast 3 x7m  opgehaald  bij iemand die hem niet mocht plaatsen Gemeente Oss  dat zegt misschien al genoeg.. Pas in 2018 heb ik hem geplaatst had ik veel eerder moeten doen. Mooie mast, mijn xyl vond hem zelfs mooi. Hij is licht, de 3 delen wegen  235kg  het vaste deel 102kg dus het te lieren gedeelte weegt   slechts 133kg + ca 50kg rotor + antennes etc.  De elektrische lier is wel erg zwaar 30kg misschien wel maar die zit onder    Antenne  3ele Steppir  19kG  +  G2500DXC rotor: 3.6kg  + rotorbuis 12 kg  +  kabels 10kg  + 5/7 ele 6m beam. ongeveer 50kg Je moet niet te dichtbij  kijken, dan valt op dat het Aluminium lastwerk heel slordig is gedaan, scherpe bramen aan de lassen waar kabels door kunnen worden beschadigd of haken Er is zeer ! weinig ruimte voor de rotor een YAESU G2500DX past net maar dan ook net  met beetje buigen van  kruisverband. Het...
