August AI6YM Project Updates

Hey folks,

August was a good month! All FoxSniffer orders have shipped and I even have a few in stock for new orders. Another batch is in progress too. T42 Mini boards have been coming in, some are prototypes but a few are production boards.

Read on for more!

FoxSniffer Production Update

I’ve said this before, but FoxSniffer finally shipped! All preorders are out, replacements for the defective first batch are out, and there’s a few in stock for new orders. Another batch is in progress now but I’ll likely run out of stock soon.

My testing (including some destructive testing) shows everything is working as designed. There’s always room for improvement but it’s little tweaks here and there, nothing major.

I hope ya’ll like it. This project was a lot more than I expected. Please do send me feedback, the whole system is software based so there’s a lot I can tune. I’m working with a few groups to improve performance for locating ELTs and other applications.

T42 Mini Update

I have a lot of prototype boards to test.

Front panel PCBs and filter PCBs are in. Those filters are going to take a lot of testing and tuning but I’m really liking the BPF modules. They are tiny and very consistent so once I get tuning dialed in they should be rock solid. I took a chance on the LPF boards and ordered the full production quantity - I’m glad I did because they are perfect!

Enjoy some a few pictures for now. More coming soon.

That’s all for now folks.
