I have been following ScratchbuildwithJohn on Utube, He is in Australia and using 433 MHz with his sub.Gerald.Have not heard of the 344 band, brings up two questions:-are they still being made?-are they legal in the US? Things do vary by country.Okay, 3 questions, who makes them?Some in our club with ham license use 53 mhz, think it is.

He is using a add-on unit from one of the Chinese sellers (maybe Hobby King) which fits on the back of his radio transmitter replacing the RF from the radio with a 433MHz band transceiver. One of the links he gave listed the legal frequencies and for Canada and USA they listed 344MHz. I think that most of the equipment he is using is from Hobby King or Bangood. As to whether it requires an Ham license I don't know.Gerald.
Great work on that. Do you have digital readouts on your mill. I get watching and enjoying the write-up and photos and then there is a shot that reminds me that this is a small Sherline you are doing it on, fantastic.Gerald.
Hi Chris,Beautiful sequential photography here! John
Sounds like they have a lot going on! If you hear of a date for the steam weekend this year, I'd love to know, would be great to see it, and would definitely take the model.

How did 30 years go by so fast!? Mark your calendar now for our 60th Anniversary celebration September 15 & 16 2018" (the "30 years" is in reference to a photo they had of a ribbon from their 1st "Steam weekend", which was their 30th anniversary celebration.)
