Default Re: Perf board

I used veroboard in my college project microprocessor system (4 boards including power regulation each plugging into backplane - 1MHz clock). College staff were skeptical but it ended up being very reliable even when powered up recently after more than 25 years).

When playing with minature VHF FM transmitters I have used such board but obviously low power / non critical.

In my experience, tidy construction and thought given to possible issues (resulting in removal of tracks / links which may give unwanted inductive or capacitive effects) can make all the difference, but, as I found with my microprocessor system, expect some initial teething troubles in which the reason for poor operation is often not obvious.
