There is some tool bag causing interference on a local radio repeater. Armed with my SDR and a Yagi mounted to a wooden broom handle, the hunt is on. I quickly discovered that it is difficult to hold the antenna while holding and manipulating a compass, while looking at the display on the SDR. This mounts the compass to the broom handle, eliminating the need for a 3rd hand.
- Broom handle hole dia. - 0.9 inches
- Set screw - M6 (prints with thread, may need to run a tap through it after printing)
My compass has red markings that don't show up well against the black PLA, so I cut a piece of paper to fit. The paper also hides the slightly rough surface that comes from a bottom layer being printed on supports.
