Fun on 10GHz – 5 ‘Completed AD8307 Based Noise Meter – 28MHz / 144MHz IF’
I have been testing the noise meter modules with them connected to the 144MHz IF output of my 10GHz transverter. To make best use of the noise meter when working in the shack it ideally should work at 28MHz, i.e. … Continue reading
Fun on 10GHz – 4 ‘AD8307 Based Noise Meter – 144MHz IF’
My small (~ 65cms) dish 10GHz EME experiments have been great fun. More information can be found here. The next step is to install a larger 1.2m off-set dish. This will initially use my existing AZ / EL system, the … Continue reading
Enhanced USB-to-Serial PTT Interface
Many of the modern transceivers today support direct USB connectivity to your shack PC. This USB connection typically enables 2-way audio and CAT control allowing more or less full control of the transceiver, including PTT keying. Where CAT control for … Continue reading

A ProgRock and a very old MMT 144/28 Transverter
Having got the 10MHz side of the ProgRock project working (see here for details) the next stage was to look at the 116MHz output. If this was also acceptable, I would have an alternative means of generating the two frequencies … Continue reading
23cms VLNA Finally Installed at the Masthead
It’s been a long slow process but today I finally finished installing the G4DDK 23cms VLNA at the masthead. The extended timeline was partly due to some other improvements that needed to be done to the 2m EME setup and … Continue reading

23cms EME
The challenge to try EME on another band was made much easier when I heard about the SG-Lab TR1300 transverter. I could see that this could be fairly easily integrated into my existing 2m setup. Things have and continue to … Continue reading

Tidy-up of the 1.3GHz Transverter
Having completed the 1.3GHz PA and established that things work well with the transverter (TVTR) and PA located in the shack it was time to tidy things up a bit. I had a spare enclosure that matched the Anglian TVTR and … Continue reading

A Fun Couple Of Days On 23cms
Having recently completed the ~20W PA for 23cms I was looking for some activity on the band to see what difference the extra few watts would make. Unfortunately I had just missed the monthly UKAC session. Reading the UKMicrowave Digest I … Continue reading

1.3GHz 20W PA
My plan to be QRV on 23cms EME continues to move forward albeit at a rather different pace to what I’d originally envisaged. After a period of many weeks where little progress was made I’ve focussed my mind on getting … Continue reading

1.3GHz Transverter – separate TX / RX ports
The SG-Lab TR1300 transverter continues to impress me. My current setup on 1.3GHz is the TR1300 with Sam, G4DDK’s VLNA and a single 67 element long yagi. The Anglian transverter is used on the 144MHz IF side, both transverters are locked … Continue reading
