I see fta-help.com has the beginnings of a glossary on there. Cascade, for LNB you might need to add "Downconverter" even though it's not part of the acronym. -- "Low Noise Block Downconverter" since that's the essence of the device, to downconvert a frequency block from ~11-12 GHz down to ~2 GHz and less.

fta-help is looking good Cascade, but looks like a lot of work, keep it up!

lot of work

Understatement

If anyone wants to contribute any tutorials, articles, glossary items etc they'd be more than welcome.
I'm avoiding ripping off other peoples work and centralizing as much info as possible in one place.

Nice start Cascade. Looks like you have a good idea. :up

I can't stand frames though.

Even at 800x600 screen resolution I have to scroll left and right to see the main page content. The title frame is cut off too. Either make the text tables relative to the screen size or lose the frames totally. At most I would go with a NAV frame on the left and main frame on the right.

Don't shoot the messenger, but thats just my $.02.

I honestly don't know the first thing about HTML - it's just a mock-up right now but if you can make it nice then go for it.

Edit: I think the width is OK, the frames for the title aren't.
Anyone who uses 800x600 ought to buy a new monitor or use large fonts.
