Re: Bring back some old kits?
Hi Adam,
I tried to buy D4D FT8 DSB kit, but I have some issue at the momment to pay. Nowaday in my country (Argentina) PayPal is not allowed to operate, but is still possible to operate with credit cards.
Is it possible to buy only with VISA credit card? Let me know if you have some procedure
Thank you in advance and best regards,
73 y DX

Hi Adam,
I would like to buy the? CRX-10-A kit
?Is it local or in CHINA??
BOB AF2DX
Folks,
A week ago, I checked my inventory and found some parts for a few CRK-10A CW transceiver kits. One of my friend in China built a kit and was impressed by the good performance and smooth QSK. And this morning, I just realized that I have replacement solution for MC1350P so I can bring up the much loved KN-Q7A SSB transceiver kit. The initial testing was promising although the IF Gain is not as big as MC1350P.
I don’t know how long I can stay at home before my long time business trip, but I think I can do something to prepare. The old kits will be priced at more affordable point. Let me know if you like the idea. You can check out the manuals at ?to know more about CRK-10A and KN-Q7A kits.
Thanks,
Adam

Hi Kieran,
The wire gauge is 28# or 26#. Either one is okay.
Thanks,

C20 and C23 are reserved for modification of elliptical filter. You can just leave them not installed.

I am building the kit and am a bit confused by the Rev D manual.? It says in step 5 to "not install C20 of C23 for now".? I haven't so far.? But I don't see any place in the manual where it says to go ahead and install them, no do I see a mod that seems to replace that step.? Should I install them "for now" so that I have the basic kit complete then worry about what mods I might want to do later?

Folks,
Recently I received a few inquiries about club projects. I have two kits for your consideration, both at reasonable price under 40 USD.
R3500D ARDF receiver kit
Although I am not offering kit at my web site, I will be happy to accept club order of 10+ kits. It is easy to build and can be put into use to hunt a few foxes at 80m band.
D4D DSB transceiver for FT8
D4D combines the kit building with the modern digital mode of FT8. You don’t need any alignment after building. The kit is simple and fun.
The discount price for club is listed here:
R3500D kit 10+ 25 USD each, 20+ 24 USD each
D4D kit 10+ 33.25 USD each, 20+ 31.5 USD each
plus actual shipping.
Thanks,
Adam

From my experience, there are many mods that people are making.? Some better than others.? If you purchase the kit and assemble it with the Rev D assembly manual, things should work very well.? All parts are included in that kit.

Well, you'd better observe the spectrum. In my case, if the capacitor is too big, there is a peak at 1/2 signal frequency.

Sorry...Been away for a bit...Try anything you have between 50 and 100pf...It's not that critical but 82pf would be optimal...Your target output should be 1 watt or so...I'm sure it will do more but you don't want to become non-linear or create unwanted signals...Jim WB2LHP

I use VNC Viewer between my PC (in the house) and my Raspberry Pi/rig in the radio room.

I have already purchased the Sunfounder open box(it says something about a plastic corner being chipped). I am going to use your setup as a reference for this.
One thing I am eager to find out is if I can find out a way to remotely control the screen of this from another windows desktop. As this is what I am doing right now with a windows tablet with my regular station. The tablet is beside my radio and I use Google Remote Desktop to control the tablet just as if i was sitting in front of it.
It would be really new to be able to store this setup in my storage room closer to an antenna away from my regular one so that it can be ran like you will be doing with solar. I can use a photo switch relay combo to switch either to another battery bank that was charged during the day for night time use or to mains power. I'll have to wait and see.
Well anyway buddy, if you get a chance to make a video of this in operation, and maybe showing a few software shots and maybe some hints on how you got the software all setup would be great. At very least maybe just some footage of the software in action would be really cool.
If not that is fine I am very happy with the info you have already shared. Have fun buddy.
Thomas,
KJ4GK
