Re: level and wave shape after balans mixer?

 

开云体育

Hi All
?
I rather agree with Mark - I have done a lot of construction in the past and the absence of such info takes a long time of searching for a fault.? AND It will make great testing and fault finding practice for my club members whilst I am building the project.
?
the question is how best to show it ...
?
I suggest a second schematic so that the first is used during construction and then the second during testing.? At the point where? a value wants to be put annotate with an arrow and letter and then list the information separately ..
?
Mark if you give me the info then I would happily try to do a suitable sheet and post it to the group fro discussion
?
Regards Charles

I would welcome test measurements - two days of head scratching so
far! The RX is alive in my rig but not yet kicking! I have a lot of
BFO audible in the output also I have had to bypass the xtal filter
and the band pass filter to get any signal strength.

I'll tell you all this story just for fun. I had no joy with the
band pass filter and nearly threw the rig out of the window. Then I
realised that when I had "made" 2.2 pm out of 5 x 10pf caps I had
them in parralel and not series! Oh boy, the basic mistakes!

I try some more tomorrow.
