Well, there we are then.

The buggered videosender transmitter that blew up some weeks ago is now fixed.

Turned out to be a shorted 0805 ceramic decoupling capacitor in the RF unit.

Dunno what capacitance it was originally, but it turned into a 1 ohm resistor.

It's now been replaced with a 10nF 0805 & seems to work ok.

Sometimes I amaze even myself.

Put an amp into the thing & waited for sommat to get hot.

Huzzah!

I'm staying, the coffee is excellent, freshly ground beans not any of that instant tulipe!

Decent pub while waiting for Cojak. We went to find Cojak but she had accidentally found the pub we were already in so headed back there.

Yes, that sounds like our dear moderator

They have given me a Windows machine to use, all the keys are in the wrong place and the mouse scrolls the wrong way

And in other news (of interest to no one but me) the Panasonic TU-CT41 freeview box wot detonated its powersupply the other day appears to be working again after I found the repair kit I'd so carefully hidden from myself.

I'm going for a coffee, who wants one?

I'm going for a coffee, who wants one?

Given up coffee, I now drink lemon tea.

I blame the norovirus.

It would appear that, looking on the bright side, I won't be doing any gardening this evening.

[zeitghost]

However, it looks as if I shall get extremely wet on the trudge home this evening.

I can't decide if I'm interested enough to watch WH13 on SyFy this evening.
