Your LF Station's Best Friend - The Scopematch PT.II. As mentioned in Part I, my construction of the MØBMU-designed Scopematch has proven to be the most valuable piece of test gear in my LF station.

Your LF Station's Best Friend - The Scopematch PT.II

If you plan to become active on our new 630m band, it is well worth taking a few hours to build as it will make antenna tuning much, much easier than trying to get your antenna tweaked using other methods. After building and installing the new Scopematch, a quick check of what I thought had been a properly-tuned system, surprisingly revealed that my 2200m antenna was neither matched correctly nor tuned to resonance! In spite of my poor-tuning (using the system shown in my last post), I had still received a number of encouraging reception reports from VE6, Washington and Oregon, giving me false and undeserved confidence in my earlier tuning attempts. The Scopematch soon changed all that.

The condition shown below indicates resonance but with 'V' being greater than 'I', the resistive component of the load measures about 80 ohms. 600W Solid State Amplifier. Amplifiers are a favourite homebrew project.

600W Solid State Amplifier

Years back I had helped build a couple of valve (tube in the US) amplifiers using a single 4CX250B on 2 meters. This produces a 250 Watt amplifier and has a strip line inductor to match the output. They never worked that well, but they were a lot of fun to build. I wanted more power on HF so that I could make faster progress towards my homebrew DXCC. I wanted to try something different and modern so I setout to build a solid state linear based on the popular EB104 Motorola Engineering Bulletin by Helge Granberg.

In addition to these notes, you may want to read my blog posts which talk about the design and some of the difficulties getting this working: FT-817 Speaker Mic Plug by DH1ND. The following instruction is only useful for electrically talented people.

Using a Wouxun/Kenwood USB cable as a Yaesu FT817/857/897 CAT connection – IZ2UUF.NET. I was looking on the internet for a cable to connect my Yaesu FT857 to my PC.Aside of the expensive official cable, there were the usual RS-232 circuits plus several cheap Chinese USB adapters on ebay.Looking at them, I realized that most of the RS-232 conversion cables for any electronic equipment are simply 5v to 12v level conversion circuits.Given that, every USB-to-5v_SERIAL adapter should work as well.

For example, I got an USB programming cable for my Wouxun KG-UVD1P handheld, which have the same pinout of Kenwood radios. So, why not giving a try to it? I did not have handy a 8-pin miniDIN for the rear CAT port, but I knew I could use the front MIC port as well. That port has a RJ-45 LAN-like connector. I cut a piece of LAN cable and with three crocodile clips i conneceted it to the Wouxun adapter.

Eventually I got the right connectors and it works on the rear CAT port too. – Radio amateur technical blog. Vertical hf antenna diy crafts. Blog. Reviewed by Bob Allison, WB1GCM Assistant Laboratory Manager wb1gcm@arrl.org The time had come to replace my three-element Yagi antenna for 6 meters.

It was a homebrew affair, built during the remarkable solar peak of the late 1950s. The Alliance U-100 rotator that turned it was nearly asold and erratic. A new antenna was in order if we wanted to continue to enjoy 6 meters, which has many different propagation opportunities. According to some antenna experts, using two loops, stacked, might give e close to the same gain as what my old Yagi offered — about 6 dBd (6 dB better than a dipole) — but on all points of the compass.

Building and Running Fldigi for Raspberry Pi. Published: 2017-07-10 Updated: 2018-10-27 Recent versions of the Raspberry Pi single-board computers feature enough CPU power to run the Fldigi digital mode software. In particular, the RasPi 3 features a powerful quad-core ARM CPU. This is an important step forward, because it allows a low-power computer to do everything needed to add HF digial mode support to an HF radio, without the need for a notebook or desktop computer. The RasPi computers are small, and can be easily mated with a touch screen and just about any kind of keyboard, making a very compact, portable or mobile terminal for digital modes.

One challenge with Fldigi, however, is that the packages traditionally included in the Raspbian repositories are quite old, while the Fldigi package changes regularly. These steps should work with little or no modification on other RasPi distributions. The Basics Getting the Source The Fldigi website has links to download the various source packages.

Guides:tracking_guide [UKHAS Wiki] This is a short guide to receiving live tracking data from a balloon sending out GPS fixes. Covering setting up a radio, computer and the software to upload the tracking data to a central server. Another excellent guide can be found at Project Horus Translations Components Radio Receiver - needs to be able to receive between 430MHz and 440MHz (also known as the 70cm band (as the wavelength is 70cms long)) and also be able to receive SSB (single side band), it is important to note that this isn't FM, many radios only receive FM so look for SSB (which may be described as USB and LSB).

Background How does this all work? This is using the computer to do a lot of the heavy lifting, rather than the traditional way which might be an integrated radio and modem, which is a lot less flexible (and more expensive!). SSB (single sideband) radio was initially developed as a low power way to send voice. Antennes. Hier vindt u antennes en aanverwante onderwerpen.

MCT-III is just like the MCT-II except that it has an audio amplifier with sine wave output, an 8 ohm speaker, a 3-AA cell battery pack, and 3.3V regulator. The "a" version requires you to solder the 20 pin TSSOP package and the Audio Amplifier SOIC. The MCT is set up for the convenience of the operator in four different sections: Trainer Mode – This section is setup for the new person to Morse code. First, it introduces them to numbers and characters sounds, then quickly moves them to hearing the word sounds of the characters just learned, and learning how to send those word sounds. How to set up and use the new paddle for learning Iambic characters, and Mode “B” sending. Just like in the practice sessions but the word groups in each session are made up of characters just learned.
