It seems a lot of the complaints are from oscillator drift and tuning drift. I have a few questions Does anyone know if the main problem resides in the exciter, or the power amp? My plan would eliminate all problems related to the oscillator because the Tx and Rx will be generated from a pair of Numerically Controlled Oscillators well filtered. I have already designed the entire circuit. Now, if Anyone knows where the problem may lay then I will be able to take care of the problem an external PA that I have or an exciter that I can buy cheaply. The power supply should be okay and it has been stated that the receiver is quite sensitive. If necessary I can add a 5 or 7 pole helical resonator to the front end.
