NRG founder

[LeeCavanagh]

The NRG name came from me,

Can you tell us more abut that?

Not too much to say.
I went over to see Stephen like we did every now and then, and remember we were in his kitchen discussing the fact he was being forced to give up the trading name he started. I suggested the name NRG (infact I had been running a station on and off called NRG which used the alfasound feel the energy package) it was fresh in my mine, and i explained that it felt like a good fit…. NRG was short and indicated power. I was thrilled the group of us all like the name suggestion, we went off to the pub to talk about a website refresh, I rebranded the website and the rest is history.

The company was later split by Christine after Stephen’s death, Gareth bought into it in New Zealand. And Andrew carried on selling on eBay in the uk

The link below is a statement written by stephen in 1999 regarding Paul hollings steeling his designs and company name veronica, veronica was establish by stephen the transmitters were designed also by stephen.https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgr ... 26ZH3TMsJM




As 3 mtr jim stated the pll transmitters stephen sold evolved from a vfo exciter that operated at quarter of the frequency with a pll that was programmed with wire jumpers, this then evolved into the 50meg version with virtually the same pll circuit with a few improvements such as dip switch frequency selection way before paul hollings got involved.

Stephen J Moss made an improvement version of the Kallitron oscillator.
The oscillator is based on the Kallitron oscillator developed by Mesny in France in the 1930s.
It was an early way of developing powerful VHF signals from valves with limited upper frequency response.
