The DRO is a ceramic piece glued to\nthe PCB with a metal case around it and a adjustment screw. Some are fixed\nin a metal can. The Mixer is used for 3.7 to 4.2 GHz Y may be able move it\nup to 5.8 GHz. The LNA may be able to go there as well. The ARRL and THE\nRSGB have several books on making things in this band. A lot of surplus\nequipment at sites is being changed out for new, and you might find\nsomething that can be tuned down in frequency from the 6 GHz band.\nMini-circuits has several Low Noise amplifiers and mixers that can be used.\nSuggest you check out their web site. Try to fine some Amateur Radio\nMicrowave Activity in your area. Most of us will spend time helping others\nto \"get on the air\" \n\nGood Luck,\nArt, KC6UQH\n    http://www.minicircuits.com/homepage/homepage.html \nGood luck with the project\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: Lizeth Norman [mailto:[email protected]] \nSent: Sunday, November 11, 2012 10:04 PM\nTo: [email protected]\nCc: [email protected]\nSubject: Re: [amsat-bb] receiving 5.8 GHz\n\nArt,\nHow do I recognize the Dielectric Resonance Oscillator?
