Micro 908 project by René VE2MPA

The Micro908 is an antenna analyser for the H.F. band from AmQRP an ideal computing platform for ham radio enthusiasts and homebrewing experimenters. Designed and developed over several years, this multi-use instrument is kitted by the AmQRP Club and serves as a common hardware platform for a growing list of powerful applications:

This project was bulid by many members of the club and was supervised by René VE2MPA

Here an "easy" installation guide made by René to help you locate all the components on the main PCB Board
