Here we see the completed pair of prototype antennas, RF board, and IF amp / sweep generator board (not assembled yet)

I will have to do some serious fixing to the RF board before powering it up though... if I turn it on at the moment it will be driving about 6 dBm into the TX antenna drive amp and the mixer LO drive amp, and that'll kill them... I forgot to put the attenuators in.
