Re: Mini FT8 Station
Jim
Would you be kind enough to share a parts list for your set up looks very
sharp.
You can email me direct if you wish. Looks like a perfect setup to keep in
the car.

Mini FT8 Station
Here are some pictures of my mini FT8 station I built for Field Day. It is built around a Sunfounder 7" hi-res screen and Raspberry Pi 3B. It uses a wireless keyboard/mouse combo, $15 GPS module and

I applied the following changes...Changed C5 to 105 and C6 to 103 (capacitive vs resistive divider) and applied audio drive just above the threshold for reliable VOX PTT...My DSB output went down to

Around 7V? Is 78L05 in the right place?

Re: No output audio
In my case I had an issue with the solder joints for the coils: the enamel
wasn't properly removed. TX would trigger but my signal was not spotted
anywhere.
I would recommend checking these joints,

Re: No output audio
Interesting so I just called cq on my other radio while monitoring the audio out put of the DSB and I can hear the signal but its really crappy. I.e I dont think it would successfully decode in

Re: No output audio
Daniel,
Start checking in RX the voltage on pin 8 of NE602, and then check the oscillating of the crystal. Based on your description, I suspect your NE602 is not working properly.
Thanks,

Re: Issue with high SWR on transmit
Any crystal will oscillate in overtone mode. All crystals can oscillate in series and parallel resonance modes at
fundamental and overtones. The only way the swr would be high with the D4D and not

Re: Issue with high SWR on transmit
Bill,
The crystal is not overtone type. Also the LPF should do the job to filter the 3rd harmonic products if any.

Re: Issue with high SWR on transmit
Can you receive 20 Meter signals on the D4D?
If not it is possible that the crystal is oscillating at the 3 overtone.
This could produce a VHF signal that would be way off frequency and produce a

Re: Issue with high SWR on transmit
Kurt,
I saw the same. Nothing is wrong at your side. I believe the main problem is the wide spectrum caused by IMD. The IMD modification should help, but I will not expect it will be gone.
