Nate KA1MUQ is still working on this rig and so has not yet produced any detailed schematics, but he sent this to us to show that true homebrewing is NOT dead. Indeed, his magnificent work shows that it is not! This is a 5 band SSB transmitter using both transistors and Thermatrons. I see a crystal filter from Mostly DIY RF in there. FB! And Nate tapped into Pete Juliano's tribal wisdom on homebrewing and hybrid rigs. Pete commented that the three 6146s in the final reminded him of a Yaesu FT-102.

Ionospheric conditions were much better for local contacts this morning and
we had 14 stations at least on frequency. Good reports including Stephen

The block diagram shows the Si5351 board providing 2 RF signals, but only one output appears connected. ???
ReplyDeleteI see two outputs, both connected. One is at 11.05 MHz. The other is variable.
