Re: Receiver availability?
Hi Phil;
I find what you are doing VERY interesting. indeed. I can look and see what the LF cores and the windings are. I may have them in my small stock. I have one RX ensemble unbuild and 5 other

Re: Receiver availability?
I have the HF and the LF Ensemble II and a third that I was going to build.
The HF version has one 74AC74 divider in it. The LF version has an

Re: Receiver availability?
Guy,
Thank you, I ordered the RX kit and the 16X board (16x board only 5.00).? I seem to remember that the Softrock LF Receivers that I built in the past all had the 16X divider already on the PCB,

Receiver availability?
Hi,

Re: RXTX no transmit

Re: RXTX no transmit
Phil
I'd start the other way.
Does it go into TX mode?
Is it being fed TX audio?

In the older laptops this same socket could be switched to a stereo input
