Analog v.s. Digital

G Day Nugget Seeker, There is nothing sinister about it, The reason the level was raise to 25 posts is because we get people coming here just for the down loads and the down loads belong to YOU the members and those down loads are the work and efforts of the
members,

Now, you don't have to have 25 posts you are free to do what ever you like the only area that dose not gain you posts ARE,
the introduction threads and birthday posts and thats it, as for the amount of posts that i have is due to the amount of hours
that i spend here helping others such as your self per day,
So far my record is 29 hours straight and that was during this past week but my average is 18 hours per day of which i don't
get payed for it and i pay my own internet conection and i do it for free so what ever posts or gold i have does no matter it is the members that matter to me. and as a Fellow Australian i'm surprized that you seem to be having a shot at me, after i have gone
out of my way to help a fellow Australian, Thats not the Anzac spirit that I know,

One more thing to remember is that this forum is free and all that is asked is that we take part once in a blue moon.

Please feel free to just give us a shout if you need any more help and i will be glad to do so.

As for the 25 posts it is only the down load section and there is not a massive amount there.

If you have 1 post you can go anywhere on the forum so just go and nose around.
personally i don't get the time so i don't know what is there, as i am always too busy.
As i spend my time finding info etc for others.

First, Ridge Runner, I was not having a shot at you, but at the system. Although I did mention a few times in "My Name is Terry," that I was just posting here to run up my posts, and you didn't point out that here they didn't count. Incidentally while in that topic I did check an app to find out what time it was in London, and wondered when you found time to sleep. It crossed my mind that you had been at it for many hours.

Now to answer GoldDigger1950's questions. Well first, you don't need to be a full member to spam, anybody can do it.

But my main area of frustration is this. I'm here hoping to be able to find information on how to build a PI detector. I'm not here to socialize. I'm not here to talk about the weather, or other mindless chit chat. Believe it or not, I'm a shy person, and I'm not fond of talking to people I don't know about personal matters. I don't suffer fools lightly. Although, ironically I do like to write.
 
Now to the nitty gritties - As I said I would like to find out how to build a PI detector.
I have put in a lot of time on this site reading about "the pi detector for $50", and "the delta/sniffer XR71 detector." Both these topics are long and contain many technical details. I have found it extremely frustrating to be deep into reading these posts, reading about mods:- parts and design changes to the original, when from the very start I have been denied access to the schematic, board layout, parts list, parts placement etc, the things that the people writing on the topic are talking about.

Now about posting, both these topics are many pages long, the delta/sniffer is at least 60 pages long, and I can't post until the end. But at the end I can't post without understand what has gone before, that is, without having read it all from the start. So I have spent days reading, and trying to understand without the essential technical foundation of the subject. very frustrating - VERY FRUSTRATING. It seems when I do become a full member I will need to go back and read it all again, in order to understand it fully. No big deal, I guess. I would probable do that again anyway even if I was a full member from the start. like writing, I enjoy reading.

Sure I could go and look for a shorter topic that I'm not interested in and post crap to become a full member, but my time is valuable to me, and I don't like wasting it.

In Tucson as a Kid, I loved the State Fairs.

One time the National Guard had a Ground Radar set up.

Being Totally into Cool stuff I hung around for a while.

They had it set up to look at I-10.

Making a royal Pain of my self one of the troops ask me if I wanted to hear what it sounded like.

This thing was probably 1960's or so tech.  This was in the 70's!

The Dish was some what like a C-Band Sat TV set up.

All you could hear was a light wooosh sound.

Set the threshold down low so you could just hear it and it would talk to you.

In ten minutes I figured out the sound of a car.   Woooosh.

I figured out the sound of a Semi Truck.  Wooooooooooosh.

I figured out the sound of a Motor cycle.  Woop.

Two cars close together.  Wooo, Wooosh.

LOL!  Doesn't this sound familiar to you Analog Detector users?

What's ta be confused about?

Most analog detector sound the same unless it uses a Voltage Controlled Osc on the Audio.  Even then the do the same except the Pitch goes up and down with the Wooosh.
