[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 975171, member: 325666"] So ..another flash of perspiration today .. I have in my posession a 20db LNA which required an external supply voltage between 3 and 6v ... Not an LNA4ALL ....though this too would fit though the smas might need moving & resoldering to allow it to fit .. The LNA however has had a 10uH inductor added to allow 'phantom' power over coax .. I want however to weatherproof and RFI proof this 20db LNA ... Then it hit me whilst I was working today .. A small section of 28mm copper pipe ...which I already had ...and a quick visit to the plumb centre to pick up a couple of stop ends ... real cheap at 99p each ... et voila .. I now have a suitable 'container' (see pics) the stop ends will be drilled to allow the sma connectors to poke through ..and a couple of nuts to secure the whole assembly ... this when completer could be glued ...or soldered ...both of which will make later access difficult ...so will wrap a piece of self amalgamating tape round it .. This will be my ABSB pre-amp ...so will mount outside ..thus the need for shielding .. rgds VS[ATTACH=full]94252[/ATTACH] You know I like to name things ..so this will be known as the 'Suppository LNA' [/QUOTE]
