I don't LOVE winding toroids, but I also don't mind it. At least not the ones that you're going to encounter in most ham kits: T37, T50, or T68 cores with reasonably flexible wire. The tiny sizes (T25

Humor is a funny thing... I thought it was funny for the same reason. Hams are grasping at straws trying to attract a generation for whom radio isn't magic at all. 9 year olds walk

Sorry but you are wrong. Highest frequency goes in slot ONE. It is in the manual. Roger G3YTN Get BlueMail for Android On 4 Apr 2020, at 17:50, dl2arl@... wrote:

Hello dear OM Andrew, I humbly disagree with your opinion above. Out of my point of view, the LPFmodule for the highest frequency should go into the slot closest to the PA. Related to the numbering

Well I suppose I am on the other side of this conversation. I did find it funny. When I read this I thought of my 3 kids not necessarily all kids. No way would they want to wind toroids and I can

Hi, Paul Here are my guesses: (1) R65 is mis-marked, actually 0.3 ohms. Or the topside wire is touching something. (2) There is a wire scrap wedged underneath R47 (3) There is a wire scrap wedged

I'm with Arv and Colin as well. I don't see what's funny about kids learning to wind toroids and bring introduced to ham radio. The abundance of small affordable kits these days could help rekindle

Well, I was blessed(?) with four aunts and some of them decided to teach me cork knitting so they could get on with watching soap operas in peace. It is not a million miles away from

I'm with Arv, I don't see what's funny. Getting kids involved with making toroids is a good idea. Winding a toroid is a fulfilling process, you can see instantly whether you've done a good job or

Thanks Andy, will have a look for it. I seem to vaguely remember seeing the thread some time ago. Hi Jakob, I'm getting about 0.5w on 20m and about 1w on 30m. Thanks for the help guys. Dave, G8PGO

Hi Dave, as its 20m your problem is most likely to be the caps on the lpf board, search the forum and you'll find several references to it. I can't remember which ones off the top of my head but it's

Hi Power measured on a U3S running at 5V on the PA at 20M bilfler wound, using R &S NRPS8: and Just under 7.5V PTP on the scope (7.375V) nothing wrong with scopes! 73 Andrew G8UUG

Ok, then that explains my concern when I saw one oscillator value of 27,004. So I wont change anything and judging from my recent QSO there was no mention of being off freq. Thanks

This drift in power output is most likely a thermal effect. The BS170 changes its offset voltage in function of the junction temperature. See https://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/BS170-D.PDF You may
