Sorry for having deferred the description of the transmitter. The recent days I have been concerned with a new frequency layout for the transceiver. I found that the 17m-band could be an interesting topic because when tuning on internet based SDR pages the last days I saw many strong signals appearing. This might be due…

“Gimme Five” reloaded – A compact 5 band QRP SSB transceiver in SMD technology
Follow-up articles published so far: Digital and analog main units: VFO, Local oscillator, Display, TX-Gain control Receiver unit Transmitter unit Abstract A compact SSB transmitter/receiver will be presented. This unit covers 5 bands within the amateur radio spectrum (3.5, 7, 14, 21 and 28 MHz). Receiver is a single conversion unit with an interfrequency of…
An experimental HF 6-band SSB transceiver – Part 1: Basic outline
Abstract An SSB radio for the HF bands will be presented. Featuring 12 to 20 Watts of output power (depending on DC supply), full DDS frequency generation, covering 6 major frequency bands (1.8, 3.5, 7, 14, 21 and 28 MHz) within the short wave amateur radio spectrum. The rig also features colored LCD and front…
Improving the receiver for the 7MHz QRO transceiver
After having done lots of QSOs with the 7MHZ QRO transceiver I found that the receiver still had to be improved. The sensitivity was great, the sound also was but there were some difficulties when operating the radio during evening and night times because some (minor) interference was audible. This symptom had been caused, as…
A very compact SSB transceiver for 40 Meters with 50 watts of output power (IF amplifier)
The if amplifier has been slightly revised. I added a preamplifier after the 1st mixer to enhance overall gain. Due to the fact that the veroboard is crowded with the components that had already been installed, the preamplifier has been worked out in SMD technology using the reminaing space on the reverse side of the…
