Welcome on F5HLA web site.

The original purpose of this site was to promote the french technical development in the way of HamRadio. At the beginning it was the portal of the project HLAPRS, but it has soon became my online memorium.

You will find my realizations mostly joined to the original documents I used. You will also find some that have been inspired to me, and finally some that I just picked up on the web, but that I do not want them to disappear since I think they are really good. In this last case, I usually try to give the reference from where thery come, but sometimes I missed them. In those case, please do not hesitate to e-mail me some link that I will put on my pages.

On the other hand, you will find their an  more professional part, in which I give some overviews of my research experience (PhD thesis entitled "Studies of radiofrequency structures in X band  on CMOS-SOS technologies").

My CV is available upon any e-mail request and my public LinkedIn profile can be seen here

Enjoy your e-trip.

APRS - I am back (AP510 - AVRT5) - by Gilles Petit 01/09/2014 @ 22:50

So, here we go, I am back with my APRS tests...But this time, the make or buy ended in a buy, mainly due to a very slow real hands on electronics market in France, while internet based component purchase, without touching...naaah...hi! And here is me, buying a little AVRT5 (or AP510) on ebay...100€ bucks, 2 times Chinese prices...20times the cost, but still the customs taxes for the sole bluetooth module...so... However, I "play" for some times (careful long timer reader would say 5years) on Mac, no other solution, I had to develop the configuration interface for may new "toy". Here it is for your pleasure, free (was a long long time), AVRT5 Configuration Manager.app or AP510 Configuration Manager.app, for your blinky Mac OSX 9.x. Enjoy :) PS: by the way, I am here
