Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] SETI-quality receiver going cheap!

[tongaloa]

Yes.
Used to have one too. Uses external mixers but they can be cobbled by 
robbing
mixers/attenuators/hybrids from surplys microwave stuff that goes cheap on
the auction sites...
If anyone on the list bought it...
I may have a suitable belt. Email a photo of the drive line with a scale 
and wrap
a string through for length...
Write soon as I'm clearing out the edebris collection so Ican move to 
Hawai'i.
IIRC it's similar to drive belt used in some PCB automated production 
line gear.
