Sirs and Gentlemen,

we proudly present our first diversity receiver made by ... yes the schaefers family.

To see if the system is working ( ... or not ) I decided to add a small 8 x 1 LCD display which hopefully switches between the batterie voltage and the RSSI signal strength. I am looking forward to test it :)

The  first layout looks like that :
