Re: 2nd U2 kit build
Is that a 'Denco' filter?

Do you remember the Denco plug in coils? long ago, I had a regenerative
receiver kit that handled band changes just like that. They were really
terrible things, they

Re: 2nd U2 kit build
Done a mod today to make use of Hans pluggable LP filters...
Mounted the filter sockets on some PCB on the lid of the case.
These are coax wired internally and I can just swap out filters without

Re: Exciting news re GPS...
Good morning Hans (and all),
I am still working towards getting my U2 kit built and on the air and I have been taking note of the discussions around GPS and new versions of firmware.

Re: Exciting news re GPS...
That's great news Hans.
I solved the problem with my Up501 gps by adding ferrite beads on every lead connected to the gps. It would seem that gps modules do not like being close to rf fields. It

Yey, that will be fun.I shall mug every passing Postman for the next few days.:-)
Indeed that would be excellent progress, I do hope that widespread compatibility is achieved.

Re: Exciting news re GPS...
Sounds very good to me.
Will this still be happy with the Adafruit unit and the 100mS pulse width?

As some of you know, I have what I call a "GPS Simulator" which is an
ATmega88 I programmed to send a NMEA string with the $GPRMC sentence, and
it also has a realtime clock which updates

2.02k installed and working very well
Today I took delivery of 2.02k and some extra LPF boards.
Along with my Adafruit GPS, it's working very well. I've been running WSPR and FSKCW on 30m within the same ten minute frame for a few

Re: Note about ordering...
The updated software [and additional LP filters] arrived this afternoon.
Clearly and competently packed, as before.
Busy tonight, but I will try a couple of GPS modules tomorrow.

v2.02a not quite doing what it should with gps up501
Hi all,
I seem to be having some trouble with the new chip. The kit locks onto the satellites no problem and calibrates and sets the time fine but after a transmission period the time is wrong which

Re: v2.02k - Twice the fun, WSPR and QRSS together! (and new feature request)
Yes Hans, that is basically it.
Just like you do now for WSPR with the 4 digit locator but with the option to specify between 4 & 10 digits (depending on the accuracy/transmission time you want).

I never said I could do that for him. I just wanted to make sure I

Well, if you can do that for him, I want one that will turn the kit into a
time travel device so that I can visit my ancestors and show them why they
