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.

Re: Simple FT8 DSB rig
Sounds like a good idea. Here we have a ham already tested this system okay. Thanks, Adam

Re: Simple FT8 DSB rig
Adam, Thanks for your response.? I was thinking of combining it with a Raspberry PI and batteries in a single enclosure for portable use, and use my phone for the UI. 73, Ron (KA3J)

Re: Simple FT8 DSB rig
Ron, The 20-meter version will be announced later. Why a version without an enclosure? Do you plan to integrate to a big system? Thanks, Adam

DSB transceiver for Digital mode
May I call it D4D - DSB transceiver for Digital mode? This 1-watt DSB transceiver will provide lots of fun of building and operating. The VOX circuit will provide even more convenience to the

Re: Simple FT8 DSB rig
Ron, A kit is being designed based on this circuit. I will announce in a month or two. You will likely see the prototype in digital mode forum in Hamvention this May. Thanks, Adam

Re: FT8 HT
Folks, Thanks for encouragement from many hams. I have decided to make it a kit to include more features including: 1. VOX control 2. Better spectrum purity 3. Better frequency stability 4. A metal

A dedicated page for simple receiver
Folks, JL1KRA made a dedicated page for the simple receiver I introduced earlier. The design is quite unique but the performance is acceptable regarding selectivity and sensitivity. You can give it a

Simple FT8 DSB rig
I built it on my perf board. I made the first QSO days ago with a ham 1168 miles away. It is a 20m DSB 1-watt transceiver with VOX.

Re: Yet another FT8 DSB rig
Folks, I managed the first QSO with this 1-watt DSB FT8 rig on 20m with a ham about 1168 miles away. The short term frequency stability is still an area for improvement due to final stage heating the

Add VOX to CS radio to better support FT8
Gang, The VOX circuit is very simple one like this: https://www.electroschematics.com/354/vox-circuit-schematic/ I changed 47k to 10k to shorten the hold time. Here is how I modified my radio

Re: Poor man¡¯s FT8 transceiver
Very nicely done Adam! ?? There's nothing more satisfying than completing QSO's using a transceiver you built. ?Especially so for one built from scratch. 73, John AA7US
