I use a nice little foxhunt sniffer made by VK3YNG which is remarkable for the incredible dynamic range in its front-end (quite a sensitive lo-noise receiver, but you can still DF when you're standing on 100W of RF transmitter, it doesn't swamp).
Anyhow, he found out the hard way that a commonly recommended decoupling method, namely a small cap closely paralleled with a larger one, often causes major problems when the small C resonates with the inductance of the larger one.
... just one case in point.
If anyone has an idea how to build a front-end like these have now that the dual-gate GaAs FET is unobtainium, I'd like to hear it.

Speaking for yourself i see. .
Sure. I don't know a lot of things that Jim Thompson believes to be true. The ignorance of the real world invoved is entirely Jim's.

Colman's mustard tins. I made an arc lamp out of one once.

Altoids, tobacco tins (I used to smoke a pipe ;-), all kinds of useful packaging out there.

I love to cook with wine Sometimes I even put it in the food
You can build elaborate structures from bits of copperclad FR4 and solder.
My grand-dad used to smoke cigars and gave me the cigar boxes, and I'd store stuff in them or build electronics in them. Cigar boxes are great.
That would be cool: a cigar box oscilloscope.

Nice.
The Altoids secret is out. Even round tins:

A fat-free low-carb receiver. Now that's progress :-)
