Here is a kit that provides an external “SON OF ZEROBEAT” detector.

The colored LEDs add to the effect….

Note that there is also a somewhat more refined version of the circuit called “GRANDFATHER OF ZEROBEAT”

Enjoy 😉

Thanks much, Anita.  Which IDE on Python.org. ? What’s it name?  Python.org is a great site and they have an area with many IDE’s described by platform.  I’m just starting the project so can switch if yours beats PyCharm.  The project involves using R-Pi to coordinate 2 XBees working together for an IoT to control/monitor home devices.

As for reference books.  I have both hard copy and e-copy of Lutz’s “Learning Python 5ed”.  It’s good for detailed descriptions; less so for sample problem practice.  However, there are lots of sites with problem exercise sets; I like w3resource.com. Many yrs ago, I had a novice knowledge of coding in Python.

Patrick —

Are you concerned about the antenna performance or lightning protection?

I have numerous antennas, wire and otherwise, and I disconnect them all if there is any threat of lightning.

For the Yeasu 817 — I’m assuming you have an external power supply for power, which is likely grounded via the ac line (assuming it has a 3-prong ac power plug). Also, the low side of the 12v line to the Yeasu is very likely connected to the Yeasu chassis, so by default, your probably already grounded via the ac mains. However, that won’t protect you from lightning.

Best bet is keep the radio/powersupply grounded via the ac mains and disconnect the antenna in the face of eminent lightning. I think you’ll find many hams that disconnect their antennas during thunder storms….

Best,   Mike H. K1VLB

Passing this info on from his daughters FB page…

A celebration of Greg’s life will be held on April 29th, 2017 from 6-11pm at the Puritan Backroom Conference Center, Suite B/C, 245 Hooksett Rd, Manchester, NH.

Family and friends are invited to share their favorite memories of Greg over food and drink.

Even if you can’t make it, I’m sure he’d appreciate a toast and a nod from wherever you are.
