Minima QRP the BiDirection IF Amplifier



This is no build and tested.

RX  

R24 0,4mA, 
R26 8,17V 2k2 -> 3,7 mA
R27 7,47 V 220 ohm  -> 34 mA

Total current R22 0,39V 10 ohm -> 39 mA.

Put in 10,4 mV 20 MHz from generator 50 ohm to C34.
Get 40,8 mV out @ C38 this means 11,9 dB ?, but in Z is not 50 ohm.
More then -25 dBm in @ C34 is clipping in T11

TX

R13 1,28V 220 ohm -> 0,6mA
R17 8,8V 2k2 -> 4 mA
R18 8,13V 220 ohm -> 37 mA

Total current R10 0,48 V 10 ohm 48mA.

Put in 32 mV 20 MHz from generator 50 ohm to C29.
Get 56 mV out @ C33 this means 4,9 dB ?, but in Z is not 50 ohm.

50 mV 1kHz to MIC in measure @ C33 with 50 ohm power meter -23 dBm.
100 mV 1kHz to MIC in measure @ C33 with 50 ohm power meter -16 dBm.
172 mV 1kHz to MIC in measure @ C33 with 50 ohm power meter -10 dBm.
It start clipping at higher inputs!

After this i test Rx put generator to C34 -107 dBm. 20,001 MHz.
Give me a audio around 12 dB SINAD, i can clear hear a toggle on/off generator @ -120 dBm.




For me it seems that this part is working, better then expected.
Next time i start with the X-tal filter lock forward to test the 30 X-tal i have in my box.

Fox Hunting Transmitter for 80m



As i mention in this blog Fox transmitter 2m that this work has start.
After Christmas i received this PCB to start work with. Most work left is to set output level and make the tuning to the short vertical antenna to optimal. There is also little sw upgrade to do.

I will put info here when working.
