Re: Accurate way to measure RF power??
Bill, Please excuse the intrusion; I don't wish to hijack the thread, but I have always found using a scope to be reasonably accurate from the bench. (I realize you may be wanting to do so in the

Re: uP40 Transceiver
Ian, What a great project. Thanks for sharing! If you have 40-50db of opposite sideband rejection, I'd say you don't have any more work to do. That's excellent performance. I am curious about the way

Re: Accurate way to measure RF power??
Nick, Thanks for the heads up on that article. That, and EMRFD that was recommended, confirmed what I'd suspected: a basic diode detector, properly built and applied, can be a very accurate measure of

Re: uP40 Transceiver
Hi Jerry Sorry for the late reply. I've been fixing bugs and investigating your question. I don't have an easy way of determining the side-band rejection, but on receive and listening to an S9 signal

Re: Accurate way to measure RF power??
I like the BAV21, which is a high voltage, small signal diode. I built a wattmeter from an article by W8TEE and AC8GY in QST of November, 2018. It's an Arduino based project. I didn't build their

Re: More VXO stuff
Mike, thanks for bringing that to our attention.? It solves a problem for the 40m SST.? It uses 4.000MHz x 4 crystals for the IF and BFOs and 11.046MHz for the VXO.? By using two 11.059MHz, which

Steve Great info. My mind still aches from understanding low phase noise stuff from working with oscillator geeks. In a mere vxo for ham radio, well at least per W1FB experiments (or someone's he

Antenna Change Experiment[long again]
Been on 17m for 6.5 weeks now and you can see my results thus far in the signature block.? Using a QRP-Labs QCX-mini at 4.2W with a one element beam (sounds better than a dual hamstick dipole) at 4m.

Re: More VXO stuff
Low Q inductors have a drawback when used in oscillators: Phase noise If you are designing a simple radio, then this might not be of much concern. However if you are designing a more complicated

Re: Crystal Searching[long]
Good stuff, yes the constraining math of quartz acoustics. We are blessed by its unique properties and having lots of quartz material. It's the scarcity of manufacturing. Similar acoustic behavior

Re: Colpitts Details: Do You Like Math?
Chuck et al : FWIW, I extended the tuning range of one of my 20m W8DIZ One-Watters by paralleling a second crystal of the same value in the oscillator. This idea is sometimes referred to as an SVXO or

Re: More VXO stuff
Also for a VXO using a low Q inductor can slightly increase the tuning range. Any it's worth trying. Of course we all appreciated the era of low cost kits. The stars were norcal, njqrp, neqrp and the

More VXO stuff
Forgot. Note, in the SST, Wayne went with molded inductors.? When NorCal did this (and Doug can verify) I'll bet that molded inductors were much cheaper than toroids. They do heat up as a side note.
