ABM-1-KIT Ramsey Passive Airband Monitor Kit ABM-1-KIT Ramsey Passive Airband Monitor Kit
* Frequency range 118-136MHz * Type: passive AM detector * Sensitivity <2µV for detectable audio * Audio output 700mW (8-24 Ohms) * External antenna: headphone cord coupled * Supply 9V DC battery (not supplied) * Size 63.5 x 116.8 x 228.6mm * Weight 114g (with battery) * Supplied with case & earbud headphones

This kit once built allows you to monitor the entire aircraft band without tuning. This is done by using a passive design which means that it does not have any local oscillators, thus it can be used on aircraft without generating any interference to the pilot etc.. Its great for airshows, just listen to the air traffic, even to unknown frequencies. Multiple aircraft signals can be heard simultaneously with the strongest one the loudest which invariably will be the closest one to you. All without any tuning or looking up frequencies. The receiver is in a compact case complete with a belt clip. Just plug in the provided earbuds or your favourite pair of headhones into the receiver. A squelch control is also included to mute background noise and interference. Reviewed in 'Monitoring Times' November 2006 issue and 'Radio User' May 2007.

* Two Independent Touch Circuits * Drives loads up to 100mA * Great for light switches, radios, keyers * Power 6 - 12V DC * PCB size 58 x 42mm

The TS-1 Touch Switch uses low power CMOS circuitry and functions on the principle of hum and noise pick-up when the input is touched. There are two independant Touch circuits. To activate touch the input and the electronic switch will operate. To switch it off, touch the input again. Or use it so that it operates only as long as it is touched. The touch contact may be a door knob, small coin, or small piece of veroboard. The TS-1 will drive loads up to 100mA such as relay, bell or siren etc. For switching greater loads an external relay is recommended. It can also be configured to operate as a Morse code keyer, information included in the instructions.
