Re: : Am or fm modulation

johnjdignan@...
 

HI There,
The circuit will need a wider crystal filter - Andy has done this for myself as I have been working on FM for some time... you will need to switch crystal filters - I have 3 mounted on a satellite board ?(CW/SSB/FM) I can help you with the switching circuit if you wish

The trick is generating FM that can be used with such a wide range of bands with enough deviation... I'm using a minikits VFO that covers all the way upto 450MHz ?the only way to get the multiplication you need it to build an FM mulitplier for each of the bands you want to use FM.... this is duplication that I've not found away around yet....


Am or fm modulation

kon.stamou@...
 

Is there any mod in order to use am or fm modulation with bitx? Is this possible in any way or must do significant changes in circuit?

I am totally astonished by you fowl view of things, what has happened to Andy is totally out of his control, I have dealt with Hostgator in the past, they can be a bleeding nightmare.

I was involved with Andy in the early days of DX Kits, I can assure you that Andy is a gentleman, who? is totally dedicated to Amateur Radio in both mind and spirit.

There are a lot of good Amateur Radio operators in this group that get many hours of pleasure from what Andy has produced for us all, he put hundreds of hours work into the G6LBQ Multiband.

I was there to help Andy get things off the ground, this we did together, then I had other commitments and handed it all over to him, it was a great pleasure working with him and I enjoyed helping him to assist the Ham community with his fantastic G6LBQ.

I have never had any copyright to any of Andy's work, it was always his interlectual property.

Take no notice of this fool Andy, there is one born every minute, I am proud to have been part of DX Kits and will always assist Andy in anyway I can.

Yours sincerely

Adrian de 2e0sdr

The post from John Lannigan should not have happened in the group and shame on him for doing this. Clearly he tried to humiliate Andy, ??I actually remember early chat with Andy re the fancy VFO with touch screen you were supposedly developing and I made a point of contacting Andy on more than one occasion for a progress update to which there were none!

?

Just thought I would add my thoughts to what appears to be an uncalled for and unfair rant.

Hi to the group,
Well I was shocked and flabbergasted the hear the comments of John Flannigan regarding his comments about DX Kits buisness of which I might add he knows nothing about and it does not concern him.
He also goes on stating things that are totally untrue and I believe defamatory,obscene language is not welcome on this site and within the group and Ham fraternity as a whole.
Andy is very much upset and taken aback at his statements which are totally untrue.Andy;s reply is a correct account of what the facts truly are
I know the group will agree Andys only concern is to help every one to enjoy The Multiband and dx kits projects,He alone has done his best to further our hobby so we can enjoy it
We do not need a plant pot screwball like John Lannigan who does not know what he is talking abot to be throwing spanners in the works where? they are not wanted,certainly not in our fraternity
It is not an easy task as you know designing new projects which will be coming to fruition in the near future with these stupid? idiots such crying wolf and stiring it up for attention which they shoud not get away with,that is why I have had to put my oar in on Andys side
I believe fellow group members and those who know him will back him 100% what ever he decides to do for the good of the group will be ok with us.
So keep up the good work Andy We are with you all the way

John

What can I say to your rant which is fully unjustified.

Let me straighten a few facts and also remind you of a few as it appears you have had a memory lapse of some description.

QUOTE:
"Andy, im a little disapointed with you..! Quite a while back, myself and another friend were prepared to help you re-design a couple of projects, you said where copyright with your business partner we were ready and waiting"

First of all the only person who has any rights to my work is myself and anyone I have given exclusive permission to (that does not include you by the way). Adrian Lane who was involved in the early days of DXKITS had no copyright or other claim to any of my work and I am sure he will confirm this without question.

Second point...

QUOTE 2:
"You did nothing but mess us around, and then remove both of us from Skype..!"

Quite the opposite, first of all you were going to help me with a new VFO with the help of a friend of yours, the VFO was to be a better an alternative to the one I already had available, indeed you boasted to me about your friend who was an excellent programmer and had time on his hands to develop the software as he was at home looking after his wife. Let me remind you that you furnished me with examples of your friends works via your forum and I was impressed by what I saw. ?I was interested to follow the development of the work your friend was doing and on your recommendation I purchased displays and modules to do this but to this day they are still gathering dust as I never heared from you nor kept in the loop of any progress and after many months of no contact whatsoever I chose to remove you from Skype as I felt you were taking the PISS and full of false promises. ?You may remember that I also sent you various items for your project as a means of goodwill. So as YOU can see John it is more the case that you have messed me around!

Oh by the way can you enlighten me as to what the second project is that you were going to help re-design as I have no recollection of this.
?
QUOTE 3:
"When you closed down the website, i looked a few times and it was available, but you didnt renew it, meanwhile your ex partner DID renew it, your fault, and YOUR problem"

First of all the domain has absolutely nothing to do with you and your comments are not welcome. Further more your aggressive stance is unacceptable, besides my ex partner Adrian Lane did not own the domain or renew it as it was in my name. The domain was set to auto-renew which failed end of story.

QUOTE 4:
"You like to portray to portray yourself as the 'injured duck' but in fact, you have in fact created this situation your self, all on your own."

I think you will find QUOTE 3 covers this.

QUOTE 5:
"We offered you help, with NO financial demands, just a true ham spirit, but you abused that, basically taking the PISS...!"

To put it simply I have in no way abused you or your friend and it would be impossible for me take take the PISS when you failed to get back to me or live up-to your own promises, thanks to your false promises I am indeed out of pocket having never received any help, information or development code which I would have given valuable input to. How you can say I have abused you defies belief, I waited months for an email or Skype call and received nothing yet you have the brass neck to accuse me of taking the piss!

John you have achieved nothing with your post apart from making a fool of yourself and hopefully on reflection you will realize that as your message certainly was not made in the spirit of ham radio but maybe fuelled by a different spirit!

The matter is now closed and any further posts will be deleted.

Hi Ken

I am still battling with Hostgator but as things stand they will not waver the redemption fee even though they admit there auto renewal system failed me. ?As a last resort I have asked for a discount but I don't hold much hope in that happening especially seen as I have not had a response back from them.

The Irwell project continues to progress all be it very slowly. Over the weekend I put some parts on the xtal filter prototype PCB's I had made, no xtals on them yet but I wanted to test the switching between the filter types and also the switching from RX to TX, all went well so I now have to match more xtals which I hope to do this week.

The receive section is almost complete and I intend to produce a board for this from the modules I have completed and tested, this will then permit the build of a multi-mode communications receiver, the transmit board will be a separate unit that will interface with the receive module to create the transceiver.

Once I have populated the filter boards with xtals I will post some pictures along with filter plots.

Regards for now.

Hi Andy

I am doing well and nice to hear from you as well. Hope all is well with you.

Sounds like Hostgator is desperate for funds. I assume you will come out with the Irwell at some time, so I guess you can put up another site then.

Hi Ken

Great to hear from you and I hope you are keeping well.

Unfortunately I can not move the domain as technically I no longer own it the hosting company Hostgator do.

?

The redemption period (theft period) allows Hostgator (launchpad) to take ownership of the domain for a period of something like 45 days and during that period they will release it back to me for $75 dollars.

?

So that Is the situation Ken.

Hi

?

With regards to the domain DXKits.com

?

The domain is currently in a redemption period and through no fault of my own.

?

To say I am fuming with the hosting company is an understatement, I had the domain set to automatic renewal in the hosting control panel and this process failed to work, as soon as I became aware that the domain was showing as expired I manually paid the due fee and thought all was now good and the issue resolved.

?

WRONG... The domain did not get renewed and I was even issued with a second invoice to pay the same fee's again!

?

Now the hosting company want a further $75 dollars to bring the domain out of redemption as well as the renewal fee I have already paid.

?

I have gone to a lot of expense to keep the DXKits website alive and have continued to pay the monthly hosting costs for some time but the domain renewal issue has been a step to far and an expense I can not justify or meet.

?

The Hosting company HOSTGATOR are apologetic that there systems failed to renew my domain but they will not waver the $75 dollar redemption fee.?

?

HOSTGATOR you suck

dxkits.com expired?

shearwater@...
 

I note that the domain expired back at the end of february and is now in its redemption period, which means that soon its records will be deleted and the domain name will be up for sale again. If dxkits.com is going to be abandoned entirely, perhaps the contact email address for kits on the main page of this group could be updated?

Re: : Filter

ah.electronics@...
 

Hi Matjaz

The value of capacitors for CS and CP will depend on the parameters of the xtals that you are using.

Have you matched a set of xtals for the filter ?

The input and output impedance for the filter should be close to 200 ohms.

There are many documents on the internet which cover matching xtals and building filters, you could start by googling G3UUR who developed a very simple method of matching xtals for building filters.

Regards

Andy de G6LBQ
