The prototype KWdiplexer and QSE boards arrived this afternoon. I was able to assemble an 80 meter diplexer filter with no problems. I will connect it to my N2PK VNA tomorrow. I will also start checking out the QSE board tomorrow. The RLC_Meter and the UHFSDR boards are due in tomorrow. The diplexer is definitely way overkill for QRP or medium power with the 4 T184-17 coils in the LPF section and 3 T94-6 coils in the HPF section! The LPF coils are wound with 2 strands of 16 guage wire each. The PCB is 8.1 by 2 inches and is .126" FR4 with 2 oz copper(1 oz is the normal standard). Dave - WB6DHW <http://wb6dhw.com>
