Nick looks at selected chunks of the broadcast TV spectrum with a spectrum analyzer.
Incidentally, I mis-identified KBWB analog 20 / digital 19 as KOFY in the video. That was their old call sign many years ago.
UPDATE! Ironically, since I wrote that, it appears that KBWB may have now reverted to their old KOFY callsign.
Gizmo and a friend playing around. Don't get dizzy, gizzy!
A lot of commenters were worried that Gizmo was hurt or frightened. This video is actually about the 8th time he came back to get spun that night. We're pretty sure he was having lots of fun. If he didn't like it, he could have gotten away at any time and he wouldn't have kept coming back and would have gone off to hide.
This is another capture of my ATSC ATV setup. This time, I am using the camera to give a tour of the equipment, including showing the transmitted signal on a spectrum analyzer.
I was hit by a CalTrain train back in May (I was injured, but made a complete recovery). To commemorate the incident, my wife bought me an HO gauge CalTrain locomotive, and I decided to flesh it out with a set of 3 Bombardier cars and a cab control car and some track.
I decided to film it to upload it, and Gizmo was sort of curious as to what I was up to.
The German DATV gear has arrived! This afternoon, I transmitted this video on 420-426 MHz with 1/10 milliwatt of power. I received it on my standard home TV antenna, saved it with my HDHomerun, converted it with MPEG Streamclip, and uploaded it here!
The transmitter came from http://www.sr-system s.de/
We fried our turkey again this year. This time, we got video of the event. The video of it coming out was a bit premature. The temperature of the meat was a little too low, so it had to go back in, but when it came out a bit later, it more or less looked the same.
All of the other videos I've uploaded have been transmitted on 420-426 MHz. But the goal is to set up an ATSC output DATV repeater, and that output is going to be at 918-924 MHz. This is the first successful end-to-end test.
