I'm the owner and I have no idea who is doing this or how to contact them. None of it makes any sense.

Circuit for monitoring RF compression with a VU meter
Been reading QEX almost from the beginning and have enjoyed all my issues. I also have a fairly nice technical library. I have a question which I've never seen an article on and I wonder if some of

Re: Class-E Amplifier Woes
Hi Jim,
R8/R9 seemed to reduce the ringing, but I never proved this definitively.
The symmetry adjustments were included as a "just in case" feature, but I never did any further work to determine if

Re: Class-E Amplifier Woes
WRT my third question, I just figured out that the RC time constant of Q1's gate drive provides a soft ramp for the PA.

Re: Class-E Amplifier Woes
Jeff,
Your 80m amp inspires several questions...
* Is the purpose of R8/R9 to protect U8/U9 from excessive peak current, or to mitigate ringing, or...?
* Did you find the symmetry adjustment (R3/R6)

Testing a 3.395 MHz 500 Hz BW TS-520 CW filter
I was able to pick up a CW filter for my TS-520 and ran a series of tests using my 8593A SA w/ TG.
The photos show the "matching" network and the spectrum for cases I've tested so far. Next up are

Re: Class-E Amplifier Woes
Jim, I built a push-pull class-E amp some years ago (for driving an 813-based home brew AM rig).
In case my own experiences might be useful to you, my notes can be found via the link below.

NaN The "Not a NorCal 40" project
FWIW I am currently working on measuring and sorting 500x 5 MHz HC-49S crystals into 10 bins based on Fs at 0 C and then sub-sort into 10 bins based on Fs at 50 C drawing the crystals from a water

Class-E Amplifier Woes
My Class-E amplifier (Sokal, Jan/Feb 2001; https://people.physics.anu.edu.au/~dxt103/calculators/class-e.php ; etc) investigation has struggled to find suitable devices for the final and its driver.

Re: An IF in search of a radio
Sorry about the slow response.
I'm not yet aware that is an issue. I'm still working on the basics, e.g. measuring a Kenwood TS-520 CW filter and construct fixtures. But a tuned choke or two should

Re: Introductions
Welcome. I'm afraid this list hasn't had much traffic though I'd like to see that change.
I started the list as a venue for discussing articles in QEX, but then there weren't any that really

Re: An IF in search of a radio
We introduced the first SDR based Telemetry system as well. Our analog
designs had bandwidths down to 1 KHz, without crystal filters. Have fun,
but between my work with Telemetry and Microwave TV

Re: An IF in search of a radio
I'm a little confused. How is this related to implementing very narrow filters by using isolated sequential, partially overlapping filters? The Icom 705 will give single signal reception with

Re: An IF in search of a radio
I worked with high end Telemetry receivers at the factory. All tuned
circuits were Lc or RC. The only crystals were for LO or system clock
applications. The LC were aligned on HP Network analyzers.

*Everything* about the shape is reflected in every other aspect of the filter. TANSTAFL! One should never design a filter without examining the behavior in both time and frequency very closely.

Re: An IF in search of a radio
It's probably worth noting that the filter passband shape affects group
delay. This was noted and illustrated in EMRFD. The rapid transition from
a flat passband to sharp skirt rolloff yields some
