ADT 6m experiments


 

Guys,

I did some experiments to convert ADT to 6m and the result was very positive. With a modified filter board, I got near 150mW output which is not bad. The filter is simple but effective.

Well done Adam, I was considering doing the same with my original board.
I would be interested to know which transistors you tried for the finals. I can't think of any small package through hole that would push 150mw at vhf, i did do some experiments using CB radio finals in class E driving it with a sig gen. Didnt get as far as a filter though.

Nigel ZL1NAY?

Best Regards,

Hi Nigel,

I didn't use the through hole part. Instead, I used the C3357 SMD which is ideal for 5V.

Thanks,

Adam

Ahh ok Adam, i do have some of those, i shall give it a try. Cant remember what the cutoff frequency?was for those, think its 500Mhz. Before i was experimenting in class E with mofets, i couldnt get reliable results with transistors. Maybe it was my loading coil not right.
Thanks again for your work on this.
6m is the only band i have nothing for. There are no kits apart from the six box. Would be cool to see some activity in this area of our bands with qrp.
