Re: Simple FT8 DSB rig
Adam, What do you think of going SSB instead of DSB at least for the transmitter?? I believe this would just involve the addition of a simple 3 pole crystal filter and an additional SA612 mixer

Re: Simple FT8 DSB rig
Thanks Mircea, The price will be competitive of course. I hope more people can enjoy this tiny radio for portable/mobile operation. I will return home tomorrow after a 10-day trip to restart the test.

Re: Simple FT8 DSB rig
Adam - An excellent idea for this mini transceiver. If the price will be competitive, it will be a great success. I do not have crystals for those frequencies, otherwise I try a replica.
