Message Date From Subject 784 2007-05-22 16:16:51 topossibilities Details on MC1496 based SSB Transceiver
transceiver.
I have created a folder in the 'Files' section named 'SSB QRP
Transceiver' with the schematic diagrams.
The version shown is for 75M (just need to change the filters and CO
for 20M operation). It was built on a 5" x 7" PCB. The mike pre-amp is
for a hi-Z microphone (used a Shure 444).
Had outstanding audio reportsand worked 88 countries the year I built it.

Very simple. Like the Plessey Manpack portable military designs (and
mentioned in EMRFD).
I particularly like the TR switching -- one relay from the PTT to
switch antenna and transmit and receive power lines. Then using the
bias voltages picked up around the filter to switch the crystal
filter with PIN diodes.
Did you make any measurements on it? MDS? DR? NF?
Informal measurements? Was the noise figure lower than the antenna
noise? Much lower?
I see all the 1496 are running at Moto speced 1.25mA. Something to
change to improve performance IMD :-)

This will remain so until we have to deal with
universal deployment of BPL. Then we'll all need QRO
just to make local contacts.
