    Can anybody identify this?

    It is not easy to, but taking a wild guess, it looks like a leaf switch. Possible part of the muting circuit for the turntable audio during the change cycle.

    Reserved Parking for "Green Vehicles"

    Just because you may see some empty spots does not mean that many times I have not see the spots full or had people park in the manner I described. Of course your blanket statements (four of six spots always open when a lot of places I go may only have one or two HC spots) mean I will never...

    Reserved Parking for "Green Vehicles"

    "Even ifsome jack a$$ decides to park in onewithout need, it's not causing a realissue." I can tell you that for me and others that have legitimate handicaps it is. I need the space afforded be the van accessible spaces. Leaving aside that every step that I take can be an adventure in pain...

    A cent or two about Sensitivity.

    "had 20 db less efficiency than " By the way efficiency is not measured in decibels it is measured in percent And the efficiency of a passive speaker is always less than 1 Speaker sensitivity is measured in decibels per unit of voltage/power and distance From back in the days when I tried to...

    Impedance Mismatch

    "Constant-voltage speaker systems are also commonly referred to as 25-, 70-, 70.7-, or 100-volt speaker systems; distributed speaker systems; or high-impedance speaker systems. In Canada and the US, they are most commonly referred to as 70-volt speakers. In Europe, the 100 V system is the most...

    Stacking dipoles for enhanced rx

    In a perfect world stacking two identical antennas or result in a 3 decibel increase in signal strength If you use the standard to Port hybrid combiner to combine the two antennas it will have about a 3 DB insertion loss so you will lose about what you gain In the commercial RF world...

    Stacking dipoles for enhanced rx

    the online specs it should be about 56 in Long Quick calculation off the top of my head tells me that a half wave antenna for 98 MhZwould be about 57 inches The matching Network in the base of the antenna that matches the several thousand ohm impedance of an end fed half wave antenna to the...

    Speaker cable gauge considerations

    "There certainly isn't any voltage difference between a braided or twisted cable and an unbraided cale but there's a sonic difference" Not exactly If there is a discernible difference in sound quality then by definition there must be a difference in the voltage going to the speaker The...

    Speaker cable gauge considerations

    Again it's all about our friend Ohm's law and the input impedance of your DMM which is likely 10 megohms A quick small amount of back-of-the-envelope math the current flowing is going to be in the small micro amp range and unless your DMM has a lot of digits and a fair amount of accuracy you...

    Your indoor antenna show them to me.

    It is a basic 4 Bay UHF antenna It's frequency coverage range is basically from about 470 megahertz to about 890 megahertz This is somewhat above the frequency of the FM broadcast band When it comes to receiving antennas it's all about the amount of signal that is available for the antenna to...

    Speaker Output from Battery Radio: AC or DC?

    See the picture It is a very simple direct current powered audio amplifier Note to test amplifier is operating from 9 volts direct current Also note that there's a capacitor between the transistor and the speaker the capacitor blocks the 9 volts of direct current but will pass an audio...

    Shield Connections - This Way or That Way???

    When it comes to a complete circuit it is all about where the source starts where it goes what happens to it along the way and how it gets back home to the beginning What is typically called the ground connection is actually what more accurately should be called the return path for the signal...

    It is called a triac think of it as a solid state electronic switch that turns on when it receives a necessary control signal By the way back in the day this type of protection circuit was called a crowbar protection circuit

    Shield Connections - This Way or That Way???

    This is true if it's standard coaxial cable with a single center conductor and an outer Shield If there are two conductors that is a signal carrying conductor and the conductor for the return then using a single point grounded Shield as in the examples "N" and"O" in my above post

    Shield Connections - This Way or That Way???

    It is true that if there is not an issue with unwanted common mode current and induced noise into a audio system via the interconnecting cables then there will be little or no difference with the addition of ferrite common-mode chokes That does not mean that common mode currents do not exist...

    Shield Connections - This Way or That Way???

    it can be more effective because it can help to mitigate unwanted common mode current on the outside of the Shield while still providing shielding for the signal carrying conductors. Ferrite chokes are also used to help mitigate The Unwanted impact of common-mode current on the outside of the...

    Comb filtering and time of arrival in this case are not necessarily the same thing Using the example given above around 500 Hz which would give you a wavelength of about 27 in or half a wavelength of about half that amount Musical notes have what is called Timbre It is what allows us to...
