NavSight Holdings (NSH) - Near NAV SPAC Targeting Company Similar to Palantir

Good day fellow SPAC investors. I am back with another company trading close to Nav that I think has immense potential to find the next Palantir. I am hoping to generate some discussion around this and get others thoughts on this company. As always, I am by no means an expert, so do your own due diligence.

NSH - NavSight Holdings, Inc. - 10.21

Why I invested: The leadership of this SPAC is dominated by multiple people who have spent their careers working in national security as well as providing differentiated expertise and technology to U.S. government customers in support of their national security, intelligence, and defense missions.They have worked at top government agencies in this area including the NSA, have grown businesses in the space and have invested in many others. In doing this, they obviously have developed an extensive network of contacts and relationships which will provide substantial sources of acquisition opportunities. They should have a lot of insight into finding an ideal SPAC that will hopefully be successful and provide a great return to investors. For me, this is a company that could invest in the next Palantir and I am hopeful that it will be something that I can hold long after the merger. My guess is that this will be in the cybersecurity space based on the leadership’s past experience. I have little doubt that they won’t find an ideal target as this is such a niche market that other SPACs are not targeting and the management team has so much experience in it.

Any experience with Mantech Lasertech Desktop Co2 laser? Or with Mantech?

Hi everyone, I’m considering purchasing the Mantech Lasertech Desktop Co2 laser later this month and there is currently a 3 month waiting period in the UK for it. Before I commit does anyone have any experience with this company or with this laser? I like that it’s a UK based company, so I wouldn’t have to import it and they appear to have good customer support. They also give you training on the machine, when they install it. I want to use it for a mix of glass etching (they have a rotary axis included) and small wood signs.

Any response would be greatly appreciated.

Please help with a simple audio amplifier design

Hi, I’m trying to make a little intercom thing so that a guy on one side of a glass barrier can talk to a guy on the other side. Commercial solutions are really pricey and I can’t afford any of them but I figured that I could probably make one by replacing the guts of a Kocom outdoor station with a regular amplifier. My soldering skills are ok, but my knowledge of audio electronics is weak. I just want to take the little microphone in one Kocom DS-2D and wire it through an amplification circuit to the speaker in the other Kocom DS-2D and vice versa so that the guys on either side of the glass can hear one another speak. The speakers are 8 ohm 0.5W but I have no information on the microphone.

I’ve tried using these https://mantech.co.za/ProductInfo.aspx?Item=15M6431 but they don’t work.

I then tried using a velleman preamp kit (can’t find the link now) wired up to one of those and it didn’t work so I then tried the velleman preamp wired up to one of these https://www.communica.co.za/products/kemo-m031n

To be clear, by doesn’t work, I mean that I have to put my mouth onto the microphone and make noise for any audio to come out of the speaker. That is for all configurations.

I've gotten to the point that I've given up with kits and will make my own circuits on veroboard but I don't know what design to go with - the internet has a bunch of different ones but I don't know if they would suit my purpose. I'm leaning towards using this (http://archive.communica.co.za/Content/Catalog/Documents/D0793670597.pdf) as a basis but not having the switch to select talk or listen.

Can someone help?

TS is in JPAS archive (I retired 23Jun) and ManTech is talking about making it active with an SCI

I have applied to a job in CA for ManTech that requires TS with SCI. I have had a TS for years but never had an SCI. I retired in June so the hiring manager told me my clearance has been archived in JPAS. So they would need to bring it out of the archive and get an SCI.

Is that a long process? What should I expect?

TIA!!!
