Hi Folks,
Just to ask what did you get for Christmas LPF ? . Post your replies and some photos.

This was delivered to the base post office Christmas day. A coherent 40 watt 806-810 nm FAP.
Does the FAP produce any, or full output? Was it zapped if someone touched the DC contacts without the static strap? don't know, but the price was right and can be returned. Due to the sellers location and scrap business, I believe this was purchased as part of some scrap from Coherent, doesn't appear it ever made it into equipment and might have plenty of hours left on the FAP. Aside from the possibility of having a FAP in like new condition, what I liked is the optics are all there. No TEC present and due to the circuit board and chassis having multiple thermistor sensors I believe the whole assembly was meant to be mounted on something to control the temperature.
Robert, OK, you did it, I ordered one of those RGB's too, have been watching them for a long time.
Edit: I just opened this thing up a few minutes before posting this photo, appears what I thought was a YVO4 crystal is perhaps a mirror, but I don't see any adjustment for it and the other side of where that N167 piece is appears to have a place to mount a coupling, perhaps a temperature coupling, don't know. If anyone recognizes this piece, please let me know what it might have come out of or was designed for.
Hi RedFamily exchanges token stuff although I did have a nice steak dinner and I bought myself some guns, a portable ham radio and a RGB module which is pretty good for what I paid, the white ( RGB ) is pretty good but the yellow ( RG ) and sky blue ( GB ) are really good and well aligned which was a suprise.

This is my RGB and it outputs 120mw@520nm, 300mw@638, 400mw@450nm which was a pleasant surprise as it was listed as 520nm(80mW)+638nm(120mW)+445nm(400mW) ............the green and blue are a very good match as for beam dia. and the red is very close, pleasantly surprised for 60 bucks and it was burning my wood backstop when I powered it up doing 800mw, just can't beat it for the price, right now I have the 3 diodes switched on/off but I will make a box for it with PWM control for each later.
**Power test on my LPM but wavelength is just my best guess by eye.

Exactly what Ive been buying as of recent, you have fine tastes my friend . What radio did you pick up? I got a few Baofengs when the Oct 1 FCC change went into effect - but that didnt seem to effect anything regarding availability. When you get into them, its like 303 lasers - they lead to a desire for learning, better quality handhelds, and then SDR.I bought myself some guns, a portable ham radio and a RGB module which is pretty good for what I paid
