Steve,
Apparently your green LED is polarity reversed.

Steve,?
I saw your good soldering at a? glance.?
But usually this view deceived us. Check everything again.
Strange. I recommend check out voltages during this status. Then you will find out

Re: D4D receive light only activates during transmit
Anyone have any ideas? Thinking I need to start by testing the transistors and work out from there.

D4D receive light only activates during transmit
Hi,
I've built the 20m version of the D4D kit and when I connect it both lights come on then both lights go off after 1 second.? Plugging into a computer I get received signals that are properly

Re: Operation under emergency conditions
Hi LU7DID,
If you really need to work at 5V, it is recommended to replace 78L05 by a LDO type 5V regulator.
For the TX amplifier, the output can be as low as 100-200mW if you power with 5V. You can

Operation under emergency conditions
Adam,
In a bare bones emergency situation to which extend the D4D works with a high capacity 5V pack as it's sole power supply? (assume connectors worked out properly).
?Does the D4D work with less

Re: D4D
My solution is a dual output (12 and 5V) Li-Ion battery pack similar size of D4D. Let me know if you guys are interested as it needs special shipping. The freight is higher.
Thanks,

Re: D4D
I just picked up a 12 volt lithium ion battery pack from Amazon it is rated at 12 volt 11000 mAh. The size is just a little bit bigger then the D4D.
The battery comes with charger connecting cables.

Hi Adam,
I did the C5 105 addition in my build. Fortunately the IMD isn't too strong and WSJT-X can decode within 100 of the signals.I got my st QSO at 1235km on CQafter dark here - I'll spread the

Re: D4D
Thanks for sharing your experience. Considering the small size and low power consumption, field operations with raspberry pi is recommended. Autumn is coming and let¡¯s go outside!
Thanks,

Re: FT8 1500/3000
Bret,
Congratulations on the success of building the kit. The strong signal you see on the spectrum is called Intermodulation Distortion (IMD). It is mainly caused by over driving the mixer stage.
