Send Me the Code!

My time is limited these days as I write this at 4AM. I often get emails, and I really try hard to be responsive for requests for information.

In one email I received yesterday, the text read " Send me the code and the schematics." Nothing more and no other clues. I sent a blistering response to the effect that while I have successfully built over 55 different SSB Transceivers one thing I have not mastered was mind reading.

Often these requests come from offshore with English being a second language. But that is no excuse for not adding just a few more words like P3ST or the MC1496 DCR. 

I also suspect this individual is a "wannabe homebrewer" with little skill in building a SSB transceiver. He thinks having the code and full schematic will make up for the deficit of actually knowing how to fabricate an SSB transceiver. In many ways it is rocket science to put a rig together and have it move beyond well it kind of works. BTW I don't do full schematics as everything I build is done with modules.

In the future I will not respond to such emails. It is a waste of my precious time! So, if you author an email saying send me the code without further explanation -- It goes in the trash!

Deal of the day! About $70 from Lauren Sanchez's boyfriend gets you the 4GB RAM Model. 


Raspberry Pi 5 SBC.

For about another $20-30 get the special heatsink and the 5.1 VDC 5-amp wall wart.

If you ever move from analogue ancient technology rigs and build a homebrew SDR this is a perfect jewel to host the QUISK software from N2ADR. If you own a Hermes LITE 2, this is a perfect host machine.

My Current radio is a Hermes Lite 2 (remote about 100 feet away) + RPi4







Them that know can make it go.

January 26, 2024. A simple CW Transceiver/Transmitter

Cruise through the lower part of the ham bands bands and what do you hear? Well, FT-8 and CW. Often you will not hear any SSB stations yet go to the lower part of the bands, and it is a cacophony (I love that word) of bad sounding signals and some high-speed keying. Fast is not so much of the issue as is bad, run together and jerky keying. But none the less our hobby started there.    So, you could crank down your ICOM 7300 and watch the waterfall on CW or you could homebrew a radio. Actually, to do CW right you need more thought up front than you do with a SSB transceiver. Often, I will state that a CW Transceiver is much more difficult to build than a simple SSB rig. I published two articles in QRP Quarterly on CW transceivers and all I got was a yawn so maybe history will repeat itself.  Yawn!   30M CW Transceiver with RIT!   Of interest is that the LO is a Varactor tuned LC oscillator using a NE602. Look closely at the RIT circuit which is only activated on ...

March 31, 2024. Happy Easter to those who celebrate this day.

What a great day to Binge on Chocolate and experience the pain of that filling that has been leaking.  I would be in that category with the leaking filling(s) had I not just spent an amount equivalent to one of the fancy new uptown appliance box transceivers on two filling repairs. Well at least I can binge on the Chocolate bunnies without fear of pain. Regrettably everything appears to have jumped in price including the price of parts. Well not so much the parts as the shipping costs.  That notably is seen in the eBay treasures. I spotted a nice heathkit DX-20 for about $50 and the shipping was $65. Likely it is a twofer with part being a way to in effect charge a higher price by inflating the shipping and in part by increased shipping costs. Shipping with insurance across the US was about $150 for this jewel and that was three years ago. 6AM on the Left Coast ~ 20M Easter Sunday! My only hope is the cost of Chocolate Bunnies remains steady although a pound of See's Candies f...

August 30, 2024. A PNP 20M SSB Transceiver

Shown below is the Block Diagram for the 20M PNP SSB Transceiver steered in the  Transmit Mode . The components shown in the dotted block are relay steered so that the block module is single pass and amplifies in a single direction. The Block diagram show steered in Transmit.  Essentially the steering process works so that the IF Module input follows the Balanced Modulator on Transmit and then the input side follows the Receive Mixer on Receive. All done with some relays and a bit of RG174U coax. For those who count things in detail, this block diagram is not unlike what was used for the PSSST Transceiver which can be found on my website . Yes, a warmed over P3ST only using PNP devices. TYGNYBNT. 73's Pete N6QW
