MidwestGadgets.com - Repeaters, Field Detectors, Generators, Extenders Oh Myyyy! New Product and Stock Announcements Thread

With the latest announcement of 145% Tarriff on china products i am suspending current prototypes of:

Pro Field Meter - Dual Display (LED and Analogue) version of the field Meter

125khz LF Repeaters.

These are currently in cart for fabrication, but given fabrication costs and the current situation with the Tariffs the US is imposing on chinese goods I have to wait this out to see what comes of it as it will not be worth it for me to have to owe 1.5x the prototype costs for something that may/may not be functional. Sorry Everyone.

Current products however are still In stock and should be for a while.

This is entirely understandable.

I don’t speak for everyone here, but I’m sure others will share the same sentiment: Please don’t be sorry, I don’t think you have anything to apologize for.

Thanks Guys. I was really hoping to get this analogue one out earlier but a couple design changes after taking with the guy that made the case for the V1, and then waiting on a switch and display for the pro set me back.

I’m glad I got the bulk order of the displays in before the announcement. It’s just timing is bad.

Re: 125k repeaters. These prototypes are in. I have one soldered up but I can’t test it. I don’t think it’s correct and may need adjusting. I was working on essentially a decade box but for capacitence instead of resistance to kind of fine tune it but without a reliable VNA ATM I’m at a standstill. I’ll get some units to Satur9 tomorrow and see what he says.

Really cool demo that Rocketgod did of the field generator, field meter, and an MFGC.
