Re: U2 Kit and Trimble GPS module advice required
As Eddie says, I'd use a decent regulator rather than a zener.
Also what are you measuring the 1pps signal with ?
A DMM might not have the response time to show it properly,
especially if it's a

Re: U2 Kit and Trimble GPS module advice required
Hi Eddie,
I originally got my 3v from using a few diodes in series off the 5v reg pin. When this appeared not to work I then tried a pot but I may have limited the current too much with the output

Re: U2 Kit and Trimble GPS module advice required

Something is wrong re pin7 showing 0.79v. you have applied your 3v supply and here and you would expect to see that value, likewise with pin 8 the 10k should pull it up to the supply

I would say no. What I have done in the past where space is tight is cut long strips of sticky copper foil the same width as the body of the fet. Seems to work ok

Heatsinking the BS170s in the U2?
I've got four BS170s fitted to my U2 kit and will be getting it boxed up in the next few days.
Is there enough physical space there to fit four of these clip on

U2 Kit and Trimble GPS module advice required
Last night I tried hooking up the gps module to the U2 kit. Nothing happened.
I had 3v going to pin 7, earth at pin 9 and 3v via a 10k resistor on pin 8 which is the pull up to take the unit out of

Ultimate2 statistics
Hi all
I finally got round to typing all my order details into a big spreadsheet
and doing some statistics. From time to time I'll update the charts.

Re: U2 spotted
Thanks for posting the image Eddie,
My signal looks ok, I've never really studied what a wspr signal should look like but mine seems to be able to be decoded on any band.

Hi Group
I will start a folder of captures of the U2.
To start it off here is GJ7RWT U2 on WSPR this morning.
There could even be other U2's there, mine is shown but is merely on soak test into a

Re: U2 and all LPF kits finished
Hi Colin
Instead of square waves you may be getting a low level squiggly sine wave as drive from the DDS, try adjusting the blue potentiometer on the DDS board for equal mark / space ratio on pin 7,

U2 and all LPF kits finished
Hi to all members.
I have just finished building the LPF's and I get about 500mW on 160m up to 17m which is about 300mW and then for some reason 15m = 70mW only and 12 and 10m must below 10mW (my

Re: Something else for the wish list ?
Ok well I think I have space for it.
I removed a feature which I have never heard of anyone using which is the
"Inv FSK" feature. Removing that created a little more memory.
