@ dyarker: Nope, we've been fooled again! :roll:
Take a look at his info on the right of his post.
In the location part, he put a link for some website.

Re: Antenna for Cell Phone!

If you are referring to the "sticker" antennas, no. They actually tend to do a bit of shielding and reduce the factory antenna range. You would need an active booster / repeater. Not sure what would work with the current 5G (5th Generation) protocol, but I'm sure you could find out. I eou...

Re: Battery pack for Ivation cordless tool

I agree with dyarker, Try that, or go to a Battery Plus+ Store, and see what they have. That will work as a replacement. I've got a Altocraft Drill/Screw Gun that is going to need a new 18V NiCad battery. I bought it for about $20.00. I can get the replacement battery for it, but it will cost over $...

Re: eking advice on choosing a driver circuit for high-power LED control with a microcontroller.

Yeah,

I kinda think some of these last postings are just spamming attempts.

But they also got some of us to start talking about some subjects. :roll:

Re: Contact (David Ponting)

On-line search gave a December 2004 reference to a December 2003 article about an adjustable resistive load. Is that the one? I did not find the article itself. To be resistive I'm guessing FETs instead of humongous wire-wound pots. And cmikowski has not logged in again. Oh well . . . Yup, that's t...

Re: Contact (David Ponting)

I checked my 2003 Nuts&Volts CD-ROM Disc, and found a December article by David Ponting.
But there was no contact info with it. :sad:

Re: microphone parabolic

I think he is talking about this article in Nuts&Volts: https://www.nutsvolts.com/magazine/article/the_big_ear But, I think there was one article back in the 90's also. Only I don't have any of my old mag's any more, so I'm not certain. :| And I only transferred 1999 to 2004 mag's to CD's, and I...

Re: Looking for a new gadget....maybe new idea ?

Dave, I see one big problem with this. Will you be able to hear it? If the tester unit is on the same floor as the Breaker Box. Or maybe on one floor above where you are. Then you could hear it. But if your in the Basement where the Breaker Box is, and the Tester Unit is on a second, third floor, or...

Re: EXTEC meters E320X

Hmmm............ I seem to remember an old analog VOM {?Simpson?} that had a battery indicator on it. And some of the Bench Style VOM's would have rechargeable battery packs in them. So you could take it to the site where you were working on equipment. As for recharging through the probes...... Nope...

Press the Mode button to awaken the meter. To defeat this feature, follow the steps below. 1. With the meter OFF, press and hold the M (MO...

Re: EXTEC meters E320X

Hmmm.................. I wonder........... Try this: Just turn on the meter and start the egg timer at the same time. Do Not Connect The Probes To Anything. Now see what happens. If the meter shuts off, after 30 minutes. Then I'd say. The meter starts it's sleep timer when it doesn't sense anything...
