METEOROLOGICAL INSTRUMENT MICROSONDE MARK II
THE ELECTRONICS ARE ON TWO BOARDS, DATA AND RF AMPLIFIER
THERE'S SENSORS FOR TEMPERATURE (THERMISTOR) PRESSURE (CAPACITIVE ANEROID) AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY (CARBON HYGRISTOR)
THE RF AMPLIFIER (THE SMALLER BOARD IN THE PHOTOGRAPH) IS DESIGNED TO GIVE AROUND 240mW AT 403MHz
INCLUDES A WATER ACTIVATED BATTERY THAT PROVIDES APPROX 7.5V AFTER A 2 MINUTE SOAK
THE MICROSONDE SUPPLIED WILL BE UNUSED IN A SEALED ANTI STATIC BAG
GOOD ONE FOR THE HOBBYIST AND SHOULD BE A SOURCE OF USEFUL COMPONENTS
