[amsat-bb] Ouch, ham tv iss

[Robert C. Campbell]

Ouch, just checked the price list for the KU LNC
MKU LNC 23 TM ATV Converter mounted into water resistant case, in 2320 ...
2450 MHz, 1404 … 1534 MHz IF 216,00 €
That is before shipping. If I don't buy litter for the cat in the ham shack
this zone will soon become uninhabitable. That is before shipping from over
there.

Does anyone have options that are more reasonable for a LNC? I would really
like to do this project but was a stretch to get just the PCI tuner card.
If anyone has another option you may e-mail me off list. Not too technical
please, I have not used a soldering iron except to do wood burning for wood
crafts as a teenager. Will a US made universal work? In the end tho I would
like to produce a quality product.
