Re: DSB transceiver for Digital mode
Adam, Thanks for your helpful, informative responses. So it sounds like the 40 meter version may be significantly more stable than the 20 meter version because of the lower frequency crystal.? In

Re: DSB transceiver for Digital mode
Ron, SNR is 5-10 dB worse. However, I found that I only can make QSO with radios of -15dB SNR or better, so I think this is not a problem. Same as QRP communication, you have bigger chance to QSO with

Re: DSB transceiver for Digital mode
Adam, Thanks much for your responses. When making comparisons with a big rig, how much worse was the received SNR report?? With the little rig, would you say it was 5 dB, 10 dB, or 15 dB worse??

Re: DSB transceiver for Digital mode
Ron, Thanks for the questions. 1. The PCB size is around 100x64. 2. The heating resistor is recommended for 14MHz. It is really a balance between short term and long term but I see overall

Can R3500 work on 8.4V?
I would like to use LiPo battery with R3500. I suppose I have to use 2S cells which means maximum voltage could be 8.4V. Is that to much for this rig?

Stay tuned for more analog kits
Folks, I just realized that FT8 is so popular that someone loves it and someone hates it. However I hope in here both digital and analog kits can coexist. D4D actually is an all analog transceiver

Re: DSB transceiver for Digital mode
Ron, I use 14.070MHz HC-49U crystals and pull them high about 4kHz. The crystals were customized before and I have enough stock. They work perfectly for 14.074MHz. Thanks, Adam
