A "New Project" and it is not another homebrew solid state SSB Transceiver! I have been posting information about dBm and Ferrite/Iron Powdered cores with the calculations for turns and inductance. That was no accident that it was posted. Thus you are well ahead if you were able to follow that series. So we have a couple of facts --it is not solid state, it is not SSB and it is not a transceiver. That sure narrowed the field down (by a lot). But it is a method of generating RF and it is usable for communication purposes. Start scouring your junk box, your friend's junk box, eBay, Antique Electronic Supply, radiodaze.com and amazon for a list of parts that will be found on this link. (to be provided). We will endeavor to provide a insight into this homebrew project that goes well beyond whipping out your H4 and measuring SWR. I hope to cover some theory on why it works (lightly of course) and to share TKT's not previously exposed. [Ok you forgot, a TKT is a Tribal Know...

The Next Project a DSB Transceiver! 2nd Series of Tests of the MC1496 DSB Generator 7/11/2021 The Carrier Input Level is on the Critical Path and Affects Carrier Suppression!   Pete N6QW Some Pasta Pete photos from the 4th of July Cookout! This was Dinner for 4.5 (Four Adults plus my 8 month old Granddaughter. She had some of the grilled Salmon and enjoyed it using her new two front teeth!) A link to a Compendium of Information on DSB Transmitters from N2CQR So Ok you lack skills and lack experience in building stuff ! Thusly, here is your chance to overcome those shortcomings by building a simple VOICE transceiver only it is double sideband. Think of it as an AM Signal with no carrier.  Double Sideband (DSB) is an authorized form of amateur transmission and so rebuff any claims from the FLEX guys that you can't use that radio here -- to the contrary -- it can be used any place where phone operation is authorized! They are just plain jealous that they had to spend $6K to put ...
