Great Service
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
|
I ordered the semi-kit and added my own discrete parts to use in a bitx20a. It worked great till something happened. I e-mailed Doug and in two hours he answered me. He asked me to send it to him and for only the cost of return postage he replaced the IC and several other parts and I had it back one week from the time I mailed it to him. I don't know how the service could be better. It's also an excellent value, regardless of which version you get. I ordered another one, the full version, and am looking forward to getting it together as an accessory for the shack.

Should be a '10'!
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I have a large collection of boatanchors, but I have been spoiled by the accuracy of digital readouts.
Searching for an inexpensive unit, I came across the N3ZI kit. Doug has several versions of the kit. I oped for the complete kit. $30. I had it together and working in no time. The quality of the PCD is just fantastic and marked perfectly. Since there are so few parts involved, one could assemble it without instructions.
The s/w is excellent and VERY simple for even a DD (Digital Dummy) like me to understand.
I have NO connection with Doug, just a VERY happy customer!
P.S. He is about to release a version for 'Vintage Receivers".... I've already got my name in the queue...

Fine Freq Meter
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|

I buit this frequency meter using full kit from Doug. The prescaler PC board is very well designed and easy to assemble. Took me less than 20 minutes from start to finish. I made it with a prescaler to measure frequency. Testing with a crystal oscillator proved it accurate within 120 Hz. I used my FT-950 to zero beat the crystal oscillator signal as a calibration device. When used with prescaler the display updates too slowly making it not suitable for use as a dial display.

Phenomenal Value!
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

For 10 bucks, the semi-kit is a great value. I bought it to add a frequency display to an SWL-40+, but it is usable as a general purpose frequency counter. The internet offers multiple pages of how to connect it to various radios old and new. The buy experience was great, also - quick communications and shipping. The documentation is excellent and the seller offers the PCB and a parts kit separately if you decide later that you want all the pieces. 73 N4CCM Cliff Evans, GA

$10 and My SW +40 got a redadout
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

Phenomenal deal. It works beautifully on my Small Wonder Lab SW+ 40 after hooking it up to the buffered VFO output (pin 7 on U1 SA602 or SA612)and setting the IF to 4MHZ.
Settings are done in a blink and there is room enough on the back to dead bug build it with no issues. I fitted mine with an optional 78L05 to run it on 12V in the SW+40.

Great Deal

This is a simple KIT to build a Digital Dial/ frequency counter. For $10 you get a semi kit consisting of the 3 key components, LCD display, micro, and Xtal. I supplied a handful of standard R's and C's to complete the kit. It works great exactly as advertised. At the time no PCB was available so I built mine dead bug style, but I understand a PCB is in the works for a few extra $$.
