Re: QDX - protection of BS17O PA
IMHO, this method is valid also but requires two diodes. Why not eliminate the spike at the source?
If you have two QDX, you might try using the L14 diode in one of them and see if it gives you any

Re: Dire need of a part
Dave,
I checked our stock at work and we use aTDK part: GLFR1608T470M-LR.
Described as a 47UH 0603 power inductor 20%.
From the schematic, it looks like they are power not RF. Let me see if I

Re: QDX - protection of BS17O PA
After smoking finals in 3 different bad swr occasions ?that’s what I do to protect my qdx finals and it works. Many use in the field with bad swr and even no antenna connected by error.

Re: QDX - protection of BS17O PA
For the QDX, install the 1N4148 in parallel with L14 with the banded end of the diode connected to +12V end of L14.
I personally would like to hear from anyone who has fried a BS170 with this diode

Re: FT8 for U3?
Why wouldn’t you use WSPR? That’s much more applicable to beacon use than FT8, which requires an operator…

Re: FT8 for U3?
Greeting all?
I am involved with a VHF beacon project and for some time the team had settled on using PI4 plus CW as the Tx modes. We are now contemplating if FT8 would / could yield more reports

Re: GPS disciplined oscillator.
Hello Alan
There should not be any 0.5 Hz frequency modulation. If ProgRock2 is set up
correctly and on a stable supply in a stable environment, within a few
minutes of power up, it should achieve

Re: GPS disciplined oscillator.
Roger,
My tests indicated that the PPS modulates the output.
Just a little +/- 0.5Hz, but I'd be wary to use it for a reference.
I have just left it, no further checks, there have been a few other

The real fiddly work has already been taken care of for you with the mounting of the SMD components. If you had to install some of those multi-lead packages on a PCB then I would truly despair.
