RTC03 HF Transceiver Controller with Si5351 Freq Synthesizer VFO/BFO + Enclosure This listing is only the Controller and Enclosure, you still need to add Exciter, Power Amplifier, LPF/BPF to do communication, RTC03 is the newest version of radio transceiver controller (RTC) Jalapindai/Homebrewpartner. This RTC version used Si5351 as frequency synthesizer and used 2 of 3 output on the chips....

Jerry VE6TL at the University of Calgary Amateur Radio Club Welcome to my Arduino Ham Radio Starter Kit, a “virtual box” of ideas and motivations with one objective: More hams and their clubs engaging the local maker community as a gateway to amateur radio.  First of all, let’s think about the three waves of technical hobbies over the past century. In a technical hobby, individuals and groups...

Icom IC-7300 HF/50 MHz Transceiver - wide band modification. 1. Check the radio to be disconnected from power supply 2. Please, use ESD discharge measures! No kidding, use ESD countermeasures both for your body and for the soldering station! 3. Use a lot of soldering flux! The diodes are very sensitive to high temperature and the solder Flux (I use GEL type) help in reducing the temperature for the areas...

The K9AY is terminated loop. It consists of a wire loop of any convenient shape (diamond, delta, etc), hung from a single support and with a ground rod at the bottom. A 9:1 impedance-matching transformer is connected from one end of the loop to the ground and terminating resistor is connected the other end of the loop to the ground. This antenna is directional. Favoring signals are arriving from the feed...

Weekend VHF QRP FM transceiver is an Open source project that was started by Jure, S52CQ in March 2015 when he started using DRA818 in his transceivers. He has made many variations/modifications since then and now the Weekend project is a nice project for HAM novice operator that within a weekend makes his first FM transceiver, antenna and passes his HAM novice class - all within one weekend,...

Many hams find that their HF mobiles receive more noise than they do usable signals. Common noise sources include the ignition system and alternator. Spark plug noise is propagated through ungrounded body panels and the exhaust system, which is normally suspended from rubber vibration dampers. The rubberized supports insulate the exhaust from ground, essentially creating a radiating spark antenna. To...
