Re: WSPR on 28MHz
Further update on this problem.
G0FTD seems to have intermittent thin WSPR data trace and no de-codes on 28MHz but has seen a decode or 2 of his own signal after fiddling.
My unit is absolutely

Re: WSPR on 28MHz
Thanks Philip
Glad yours works on 28MHz, knowing that you use outboard LPF was an influence for my test without the Output FET powered in case there was feedback.
Your report puts us back into

Sounds great Hans. Thanks for all your work, service and offering these kits at very reasonable prices. Cant wait to get my U2 built.

Re: WSPR on 28MHz
Did a couple of hours test on WSPR 28MHz earlier
Got a few spots which considering the band conditions and
my Windom's reluctance to tune on 10 meters was a result..
The PA FET gets hot on this

WSPR on 28MHz
Hi Hans
I tried various setting of the calibration, clutching at straws again, Andy FTDbhas negative values ie. 124,999,xxx mine is 125,000,555 there was no improvement in the narrow 3 Unit WSPR

Re: PA problem on new QRSS TX, some progress ;-)
Ok Hans. I don't think my efforts here will be terribly helpful.
I made the circuit (ugly style) and I have a problem with it. It had no
efect.
Listening with a walkman earphone, I can hear the

Re: WSPR on U2 tests, 28MHZ WSPR solved I think.
Yep. Odd thing is I decided to put the rig live on 10m and the
trace went funny. So it wasn;t the DDS ref afterall then.
Just plonked it on 30m now. Whaddya know - I can see all 4 bit
streams for the

Re: WSPR on U2 tests.
I've had the U2 kit working well on 20m WSPR (but without the GPS which still doesn't work here?). The kit still only has a single FET at 5v as the PA and the antenna is a "loop" made

Re: WSPR on U2 tests, 28MHZ WSPR solved I think.
Odd. As such calibrating will / should do nothing to the signal data as long as you are in the WSPR window which you can see for yourself anyway. The GPS does it spot on anyway.
OK test in my mind,

Re: WSPR on U2 tests, 28MHZ WSPR solved I think.
Oh no, not another gong ;-)
I've just had a thought to recheck my 125Mhz DDS clock frequency.
I did notice a shift by 25Hz when I plonked the heat shieled on the
DDS module but didn't think

Re: WSPR on U2 tests.
Good idea.
I have just seen / heard seen a WSPR signal on 28.126167MHz, does any one here own this signal. I could hear it clanging and banging just like my U2 on 28MHz and the signal did not

Ah thank you Sir Foad
I was just perfecting the knot in this 6feet of rope I have attached to the rafters in the shack. I shall now either put it away or send it in the post to Hans.

Re: WSPR on U2 tests.
I forgot to add that the 28Mhz trace appears to be only about
2 - 2.5Hz bandwidth on Spectran.

WSPR on U2 tests.
I've retitled this thread, since to the best of my knowledge there
is no longer an issue with the PA on 28Mhz once the DDS pot is given
a little tweak.
Now I've done some tests on WSPR.
18Mhz:

Yes I know all that, but you knew exactly what I meant and in my engineering circles we always bandied terms about, quickest simplest reference term is PIC and an SI570 does digital synthesis

Re: PA problem on new QRSS TX, some progress ;-)
Hi Eddie
No no it's not such a debate. This is just a simple one. PIC and AVR's are
both micro-controllers, quite similar, they are just different families
from different manufacturers. It's like BMW

Yes, I see that - inconsistent, you are right! I will correct that in the
manual.
Also I will put it in the v1.09 version along with the other change that
was requested. AND, I'll make sure
