Obviously I can always tweak it later as well if it turns out selectivity is poor, I should get enough gain in the amp stages to cope with a bit higher losses. Plus then I’d have to accept somewhat higher insertion loss, which is now at about -3.0 dB with impendance of 89 kohm or so, that too is decent. Some of you will figure out what this is, the rest probably wouldn’t even be interested anyway.įrom my calculations I got a pretty nice 9.2 kHz bandwidth – I could maybe tweak it a bit more to something between 8.5 to 9 but then again I plan on having three of these so it might just be perfect as-is. In the meantime, here’s some random photos of one of my projects, I’m not going to comment much on it. There should be some nicer weather coming later this week so hopefully I can do a bit more Wizard testing then. Things are going slow because of the recent summer heat wave. My Saturday turned out very busy but this one is my own fault, I should’ve planned things better. UPDATE: It seems the USA-friendly times are not very lucky. You’ll get 3 of those horizontal ones, the extra one is so you have a spare in case the modding somehow goes wrong.Īlso in the center there’s the new switch that replaces ODE/CD-ROM jumper, it’s easier to operate though keep in mind it can only be switched when the power is off – that hasn’t changed. In case some of you didn’t get my confirmation email, here’s what the horizontal connector looks like (left), the correct vertical one (right) and what can be done with a knife and pliers to “mod” the horizontal to vertical in a couple minutes (center).

I’ve managed to test some Wizards so the ones that didn’t need vertical connectors should start shipping next week – watch your PayPal account. No family visits planned but then again the previous one wasn’t either… I have a small batch of GDEMUs ready to go so I’ll open orders this Saturday () at 20:00 CEST to make it USA-friendly.
