Linear PA without HV trafo – gu50

This is very small and light PA, but with power more of 300W output in CW mode and 500W pep in SSB mode. In the PA there is not trafo for HV. The plate voltage is the quadrupled electrical mains AC voltage. Continue reading

ampr-ripd and Amprnet Net-44 notes

In early 2012, Heikki Hannikainen, OH7LZB (the ham behind aprs.fi) modernized the amprnet routing by writing a custom RIPv2 daemon to receive RIP updates from the 44/8 ampr.org routing service, and insert them in the Linux routing table. This has replaced the encap.txt and munge script method. Continue reading

Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) VFO

This is a continuation of my previous DDS projects. This project uses PIC16F628A and AD9850 or AD9851. PIC16F628A is an 18-Pin microcontroller with 2K byte program memory, it is a FLASH-based and a member of the versatile PIC16F62XA family of low-cost, high-performance, CMOS, fully-static, 8-bit microcontrollers. PIC16F62XA devices have special features to reduce external components, thus reducing system cost, enhancing system reliability and reducing power consumption. Continue reading
