Yep. Talking of that transceiver, it’s receiving now, which is a miracle. Fully synthesised TCXO based frequency control and receive current of 40mA into earphones. 4% of the power my Yaesu uses on receive
... need to work out how to do noise figure and sensitivity measurements next. Plan is to make an FT-817 minus the power consumption and crappy audio and cost and 2m.
PA still keeps exploding though. I’ve started wearing safety glasses when I key down now.
That TF930 counter gets used more than any other gear now bar possibly the power supplies.
