Tkinter GUI for Morse program

This differs from the traditional import statement
in that it puts everything in the module into the
default namespace of this program, so now rather
than needing to refer to a textbox as Tkinter.Textbox
we can just write Textbox

Digital Bandpass Filter FIR design - Python

The python code generates the Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter coefficients for a lowpass filter (LPF) at 10 (Hz) cut off using firwin from scipy.  A highpass filter is then created by subtracting the lowpass filter output(s) from the output of an allpass filter. To do this the coefficients of the LPF are multiplied by -1 and 1 added to the centre tap (to create the allpass filter with subtraction). A second LPF is then created with a cutoff at 15 (Hz) and the bandpass filter formed by addition of the LPF and HPF coefficients. The program also generates a test sine wave of a given amplitude and power and to this noise from a Normal distribution is added.  The graph below shows the signal and nois, and the signal (green) after filtering. The input snr is approximately 3dB. The frequency response below shows the passband centered on 12.5 (Hz), the Nyquist frequency is 50 (Hz). from numpy import cos, sin, pi, absolute, arange from numpy.random import normal fr...

FT 817 Power Amplifier

This very simple 2 Fet power amplifier easily achieves 250W output with an FT817 5W drive. The key design details as follows: 3:1 broadband input transformer matches the 5.5 ohm gate load resistor (4 x 22 ohms in parallel) to the 50 ohms required by the FT817 . The 4:1 output broadband transformer presents 3 ohms (16:1 impedance ratio) to the balanced HEXFET pair each mounted on a 3mm copper heat spreader which is insulated from the 2 1w/degC heatsinks. These are blown cool by a fan underneath. The power supply required is 28v at 30 amps. The amp is around 50% efficient with a standing 750mAmp temperature compensated bias. An IC 703, with 10watts output will drive the output to around 400 watts. The output filter shown is a 5 pole topband filter with T130-2 torroids and 400v silver mica caps. Peak output voltage on 160 metres with 5 watts drive is 160v or 320v p-p in 50 ohms equating to 250watts. This is slightly higher than the reading on the 3kw MFJ power meter. The inline F...

Splunk Cheat Sheet (Linux)

1. set root's password:  sudo su passwd root Enter new UNIX password: < new_root_password > Retype new UNIX password: < new_root_password > passwd: password updated successfully # su - 2. Remove any existing Splunk directories & create user etc: # rm -rf /opt/splunkforwarder # userdel -r splunk # this will remove as above if user splunk's home directory # groupadd siem # useradd -g siem -s /bin/bash -d /home/siem -m siem # vi ~/.profile # chage -I -1 -m -0 -M -99999 -E -1 siem If above fails because of multiple passwd fails: # pam_tally --reset check with #chage -l siem # uname -a # check OS version # dpkg -i splunk-4.3.1...........intel.deb # chown -R siem:siem /opt/splunk # su - siem : $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk start --accept-license : $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk edit user admin -password newpassword -role admin -auth admin:changeme 3. vi ~/.profile (as follows) (OR .bash_profile) # ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for log...
