  1. SMSL PO100 Pro
    Dieser kleine Kerl bringt erstaunliche Klangverbesserungen an meinen aktiven Lautsprechern zustande. Gebe ich den Musikstream direkt per USB in die Aktivlautsprecher, ist der Sound eher mäßig. Der DDC scheint das USB Signal zu „reinigen“ und zu reclocken. Dann wird es per S/PDIF Coax oder optisch an den DAC der Lautsprecher gegeben. Das Ergebnis ist eine erstaunliche Verbesserung der Soundqualität.
    Highly recommended.

    Afgelopen week vond in Duitsland het congres van het Fachverband Rundfunk- und BreitbandKommunikation (FRK) plaats. Daar is veel gesproken over d

  3. #audio #electronics #coax Can anyone identify this connector? It's the inlet for the 75ohm FM antenna this receiver calls for: smooth barrel, male, no threads or design elements to engage bosses. (The waviness on the barrel is just schmutz)

  4. AND TO SHIELD GROUND

    WHY

    where I can get to it, the conformal coating itself does not appear to have become conductive, that was my first idea because it's pretty crusty BUT that's not it

    #electronics #coax #switch #WHY

  5. "antenna," "aux 1," "aux 2," and "cable" are all just... connected together. "vcr" is actually wired separately and as far as I can tell actually gets switched on the signal line, though the shield line is common across everything.

    but all the switches are there. and i think they're all real. why would you do this. why.

    the amount of resistance from desired source to output seems to change some but it also seems kinda random. selecting the source you're testing sometimes seems to make the resistance go _up_?

    this is an archer-branded switch so I think it came from radio shack originally. and every time i say "you have failed me for the last time, Admiral SHACK" i am again proven wrong.

  6. NOPE THEY'RE 100% CONNECTED ON THE SIGNAL LINES 100% OF THE TIME

    WHAT THE FUCK

  7. okay this just got super weird

    all four inputs on the left appear to be hardwired together? can that possibly right? antenna, aux 1, aux 2, cable.

    wtf actual

    input 5 (vcr) is not so connected and is the only one acting kinda like i’d expect

    what is going on

    this has to be wrong clearly i must be fucking something up. maybe the board connections are extremely counter-intuitive.

  8. yeah that is not a number you want to see on a closed switch. that’s not a good number at all.

    Traveling with my #yaesu #ht #FT5 #HamRadio. bag was pulled off security conveyor belt and opened.
    #TSA agent pulls out my #magnetic mount, 1/4 wave, dual band #2m / #70cm #antenna with the #coax wound around the base.
    TSA agent: “what’s this?”
    Me: “an antenna”
    TSA agent to the agent running the X-ray: “it’s an antenna!”
    I stuff it back in my bag and head to my gate. This is the first and only time this has happened.

  13. Have you tried taking it off the wall and turning it upside down?

    (Whoever designed the Virgin Media access point clearly lived on a planet without gravity. It’s left an unsightly bit of unpainted wall showing for the moment but otherwise should be far more robust now.)

  14. We already had Fiber-To-The-Home back when we lived in Sweden, even in our summerhouse in the middle of nowhere (at least from a Dutch perspective middle of nowhere). But now, about 7 years later we got #FTTH installed in our apartment in the center of #Haarlem. Very happy to be on #KPN fiber now. :)

    To get an idea on how much better KPN FTTH is compared to my old #coax based #Ziggo connection, below you see the measured latency between Ziggo cable 1gbps and KPN 1gbps towards our #sase edge.

  15. I prototyped some orange #coax using cable sleeve material over RG-58. I'm not super impressed by the color because the black is shining through. Have to check it out in the sunlight. I hope this helps making the coax more visible when operating /p. Can't wait for M&Ps colored coax line.

  16. Finally got the crimping tool in the mail so I could make my first RG316/U cable.
    I was pleasantly surprised with the lower than expected loss. When measuring it with my NanoVNA, it’s only around 16dB/100m (0.81dB for this 5m section) @ 50MHz

  17. I wish Messi & Paoloni came up with a RG316 replacement. Something just as or almost as flexible, but with way lower attenuation.

  18. @james There is a standard for ethernet over powerline. It's called #Powerline or #HomePlug #AV2. Also, the reason they use data-over-powerline is that it removes one level of complexity. The devices no longer need a #wifi adapter to work. For instance, in the #US some cable routers (#COAX into the home, then #ethernet to the wifi #adapter) also provide that ethernet over #Powerline.

    If the wifi adapter dies or breaks, the internet is still available to #Powerline devices.
