Re: Plug and Play Receiver
Howard, On second thought, your modules could be a fine way to teach radio. Modules start to make a lot of sense as radios become more complex. Many who design radios for a career have created their

Re: 2n2xx Transceiver R.I.P.
That bitx20 thread on the ADE-1-24 is rather confusing. And to some extent, so is the ADE-1 datasheet: https://www.minicircuits.com/pdfs/ADE-1.pdf The ADE-1 pins are numbered like a DIP IC, pins 1,2,3

Re: 2n2xx Transceiver R.I.P.
Primary attraction of this rig is the "back to basics" analog design, nothing hidden in IC's. An LM386 for the audio amp is simple, works from 5-15 volts, but is not for the audiophile. From

Thanks Jerry. I spent some time this morning looking at the different versions of this rig, from the original to the Norcal version. The first thing that struck me was how crowded and complex the

Re: 7 MHz Oscillator Ideas
OK, last time, I promise. Jerry and All, I?expect we've been thinking grapefruit and tangerines...related but not the same...8^) Varactors used to tune an entire?AM or FM band?with a max C of 350pF

Re: 2n2xx Transceiver R.I.P.
I am curious as to the possible substitution of the mini circuits ADE-1 with imported ADE-1-24 devices.? The look of the two seemed to be identical.? Has anyone found success with the latter??

Re: 2n2xx Transceiver R.I.P.
The Raduino used on the uBitx consists entirely of a 5v regulator, an Arduino Nano clone, an Si5351, and a standard 16x2 LCD with backlight. Power consumption is 40ma without the display, the display

Re: 2n2xx Transceiver R.I.P.

Re: 7 MHz Oscillator Ideas
Chuck, I think we all agree that your design will be plenty stable. It is crystal controlled, going from zero to 12v on the bias for the varactor that is in parallel with the crystal can only move the

Re: 2n2xx Transceiver R.I.P.
The use of ADE-1 (or SBL-1) diode ring mixers make it possible for the receiver to have a very large dynamic range.? It also makes it possible for the receiver to suck down the battery much more
