Components And Links
by Harry Lythall - SM0VPO

Information

I don't normally add "courtesy links", but I was asked to add this link: http://www.datasheet4u.com. I know that I spend a lot of time searching for datasheets, and this particular link was just too good to refuse. I make an exception.

Component Suppliers

http://www.baltechno.se/ is A Swedish company, based in Gotherburg. Baltechno have been repairing RC electronics for nearly 20 years. They have built up a very well equipped work shop and are authorized by, for example, Graupner/JR, Hitec, Thunder Tiger, K.O. Propo, and Kyosho. They repair RC equipment for the whole of Scandinavia and sometimes get repairs from countries like Germany, France, Greece. E-mail . I found them VERY helpful obtaining R/C mechanics.

http://www.btinternet.com/~g4kqu/Mode_Components/index.html Many of those "hard-to-get" RF and other semiconductors. Personal and helpfull service in the UK. ctredwell@webleicester.co.uk

http://www.colomor.demon.co.uk UK supplier of Electronic tubes and RF components. They will deliver abroad (and answer their e-mail).

http://www.xs4all.nl/~barendh/ is well worth a visit. They stock those "hard-to-get" RF chips, such as prescalers and synthesizers, etc. They were the answer to my prayers after searching the web for weeks.

http://www.kitsrus.com is another fantastic supplier of both components and kits. They are based in Hong Kong and have quite a wide variety of kits, including an on-line catalogue.

http://www.bardwells.co.uk/ is a fantastic component supplier in the UK for the RF constructor. On-Line cataligue too! They even have stocks of the TCM3105. I started using them over 30 years ago.

Antique Electronic Supply company has an on-line catalogue. They can supply almost all you can wish for in valves and valve orientated components. Prices are quite cheap too!

Maplin Electronic components is a good source for modern electronic components at reasonable prices. They do not have a catalogue on line but they will send you a catalogue, even on CD-Rom.

QuartSlab Marketing Ltd. supply custom ground crystals manufactured to your own specifications. Pricing and information on-line.

Links'n things

Please do not ask me for "courtesy links" because the answer is NO. I will only provide rare links that are related to my homepage subject material and only links that are in some way 'special'. If you want a link somewhere then I reccomend you visit UK Amateur Radio quick links or http://www.ham-links.org/ where you will find just about all the Ham radio links I want.

Anyway, here are the 'special' links:
