I received my replacement 24ghz transverter from KUHNE returned the non functioning one at Easter,initially they said €300 to fix it .Then they Changed to no it’s under warranty but we will have to build you a new one as we don’t have any stock anyway it’s here free of charge so all ok in the end

Testing some old Gunnplexers, yay, they all work. These transmit above 10GHz, the same range as satellite TV. No, you can't cook anything with them, except for your eyes, if you look directly into the waveguide opening when powered on 😲
