A member of our sailing club asked about the feasibility of indoor winter sailing by using fans. Does any one have practial experience in this? Any information...
I think one of the northern clubs, wisconisn comes to mind, did this wist somewhat mixed results, with vicky's with a lot of fans and alot of swirling wind ...
The Toronto-based Metro Marine Modellers used to do this at the annual Toronto Boat Show in the 1970's. It worked well. We used four or five large fans (they...
Batteries, milliamps, volts, charging and discharging: All of this is very confusing to me. Is there someone out there who has developed some kind of matrix...

See if you can borrow a FM Dual Conversion Transmitter from a friend and try it with a FM Receiver. My club used AM Sets and we had all kinds of these...
Dick, You may have a bad receiver. Try swapping recievers between the boats and see if the problem follows the suspect unit. As for Tx antenna orientation....

That is an interesting point. The first thing that comes to my slow mind is: as you are tweaking, how can you observe when you have reached the optimum point. ...
The scope is attached to the output of the RF section of the receiver and will show the signal amplitude. Max amplitude = peaked tuning. Any RC radio repair...
There could be a problem, because trim caps are not linear, they're logarithmic. "Centering" between dead points may put you way under the peak reception...
