Martin,

Thank you, Thank you.

That cash I spent yesterday on the Installing Sky Digital TV manual (below) is probably going to save my father at least £100 when they take the new sky digital system to France in March.

Friends paid the local satellite fitters in France, the equivalent of £100 each to get their systems aligned (not fitted!). Reading the manual last night I have already learned so much, details that will make purchasing the kit here in Wales a lot easier, and will head off problems in France - Cable speccing, alignment with minimal kit, little fitting tips. Wow! Well worth a few quid!

Fitting the satellite dish won't be a problem; the previous owner left the TV aerial on the roof, along with suitable brackets (checked against our Sky system here in Wales), therefore that side of it is sorted. Using your excellent manual will make the alignment and setup a lot easier than the alternative. The alternative being trial and error!

All the best, and well done on one of the best resources on the Net for Sky Digital stuff.

Paul

Be Found

by Martin Pickering

You want your web site to be found? The eBook contains a multitude of tips that I've picked up during the last five years of designing and using web sites. Many of these tips have never been mentioned previously, yet they are extremely important to the success of your web site!

The eBook is a compilation of notes that I wrote to help people who were new to web site design or who couldn't quite figure it out for themselves. (There's no shame in that. Heck, you can still see examples of bad page design on my own web sites where I haven't had the time or patience to correct them!)

I put my notes onto several web pages and they grew as time passed. Now I've decided to combine all those pages into a single eBooklet which can be downloaded and read at your leisure.

If you use my information you can create a HUGE increase in "traffic" (visitors) to your web site after only a few months - maybe even sooner.

Note: this eBooklet tells you how to design web sites that get listed in search engines. It gives brief details about designing web pages with text and pictures but it doesn't pretend to teach you how to design "killer web sites" with flashing lights, bells and whistles. Search engines don't usually care what a web site looks like. Your visitors will expect it to be neat, tidy and easy to navigate.

The CB EPROM Data Book

Advanced frequency modification techniques by Martin Pickering B. Eng.

Eproms are often associated with modern microcomputer technology and thought to be equally as complex! However, far from making life complicated, Eproms are as easy to use as any other electronic component and can make simple work of an otherwise difficult circuit. Using simple language and a good selection of diagrams, this eBook explains how to make effective use of Eprom technology in modern CB radios.

By covering a previously unexplained topic, this eBook will prove to be an invaluable complement to the popular reference manual "The CB PLL DATA BOOK".

This eBook is essential reading for anyone wanting to convert a CB radio to work on the American "Novice" Band, or 10 meter Amateur Band. Of course, once you understand the basic principles, you can figure out how to get other bands, too!

Some of the topics covered are:-

  • Fundamentals of Eprom operation - internal storage, Hexadecimal, Conversion tables.
  • Choosing the right device - Outputs, Transistor inverter, Input voltage, Output voltage.
  • Practical examples - The Cobra 148 on 10 Meters, Cobra 146 GTL, President Adams, Ham International multi-modes, general purpose Eprom board.
  • Programming Eproms, erasing Eproms, pinouts of popular Eprom devices, Decimal to binary conversion, 'N'-code tables for popular CB radios.
  • Increasing the frequency range by "pulse subtraction" using ordinary logic chips - a complete example with circuit and explanation is given for 10 metre conversion.
