04:31 PM polprog: I got this for $20
04:31 PM polprog: it's a CATV analyzer
04:31 PM polprog: but it has a spectrum sweep option, and a speaker to demodulate the given carrier
04:31 PM polprog: 5M to 1G sweep range (because broadband uses that)
04:32 PM polprog: I just managed to demodulate the local FM station, it works like a regular spectrum analyzer
07:44 PM rifraf: bored hole to 125mm deep and ran out of boring bars :/ , spent ages looking for extra long boring bars and then found an old liner borer i made
07:45 PM rifraf: and somehow found the 3D printed clamps to hold part on crossslide and they fit, this is a double bonus
