A New Line of Transceivers

Transceiver Architecture 2.0


Several posts back I covered a few of the current crop of approaches to transceiver architecture. Judging by the number of visits to this post, it seems to have struck a chord with those who frequent this blog.
 
Over the next few months I intend to cover in detail a line of N6QW designed and developed transceivers that I call DifX. The acronym DifX is a simple contraction of the words Different than a Bitx. While due respect must be given to VU2ESE and the solid Bitx design --there are other creditable designs and I think the DifX series satisfies that criteria.
 
Hopefully you all will enjoy the journey. Stay tuned. The Big Kahuna (photo on the masthead) is a DifX.
