Thought some of the people here would be interested in this one.

This one's a bit 'off the beaten path'. The product is a 75-meter AM transceiver board kit,. It measures 3.5" x 5.27" and runs 2.5W carrier/8W peak. It's supplied with a 3885 kHz transmit crystal, although a number of other crystal frequencies are available from both US and European suppliers. Its receiver is tunable over a range of 45-50 kHz, and both receiver and transmitter functions contain ALC circuitry to maintain decent audio quality. There's a story here. I'd spoken about the concept at Atlanticon a while back, but hadn't had a chance to follow up until recently. Real life- including a new home and family issues - intervened. I refused to let this frankly nostalgic concept die, though. After 5 years away from the creative side of amateur radio, it's nice to be back! It's at: http://smallwonderlabs.com/Retro-75.htm That URL contains a link to assembly instructions for the Retro-75. .......and on to the next project! 73- Dave Benson, K1SWL ______________________________________________________________ QRP-L mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/qrp-l Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:qr...@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
