[Flexradio] Universal Controller Board for SDR-1000

2006-11-09 Thread Philip Theis
Several months ago, during the Central States VHF Conference I agreed to take on the project which had been started in early 2005. At this time I have just ordered the Alpha Prototype boards and anticipate that all will be well and I can begin ordering parts for the UCB kit. My question is how

All right! Progress at hand. I suggest a back diode across K17 coil and a series diode on the 13.8 V power input for those of us who have the bad habit of using the same color wire for + and - DC feeds. Also a bit of bypassing on the PTT input lines. Onward. 73, Larry K2LT Philip Theis wrot

The darlington diode doesn't protect against a high plus voltage at the collector. The collapsing magnetic field in the K17 relay coil at turnoff produces a reverse polarity pulse across the coil which turns out to be a big positive voltage at the collector. ( I think) Larry K2LT Philip The

If U10 and U11 are ULA2003 driver chips then they have the anode of a diode at each output. All the cathodes are connected to the CD pin 10 which is then wired to the plus side of the relay coil supply. This puts a back diode across each coil. When I first started to use my SDR-1000 with my D
