UV916-tuner Radio Receiver 45-860MHz

Under Category : Radio

UV916-tuner Radio Receiver 45-860MHz To build a Spectrum analyzer I needed a tuner. I also needed to learn how to control the tuner. In some old broken TV I found the tuner UV916. It is a common used tuner. The tuner is PLL synthesized controlled and the frequency can be set from 80-900MHz. The tuner [...]

Receive Converter 144MHz to 50MHz

Under Category : Radio

The converter uses no filters and is thus pretty broadbanded. All selectivity is trusted to the DB6NT converter and the Yaesu radio. The power supply is regulated by a three terminal voltage regulator, so the frequency won’t shift with input voltage fluctuations. The converter applies 13.8V to the coax line going to the antenna-mounted converter, [...]

Radio Control With MC-145026 & MC-145027

Under Category : Radio

These devices are designed to be used as encoder/decoder pairs in remote control applications. The MC145026 encodes nine lines of information and serially sends this information upon receipt of a transmit enable (TE) signal. The nine lines may be encoded with trinary data (low, high, or open) or binary data (low or high). The words [...]

1.8 to 30 MHz RF Power Amplifier For QRP With Low Cost

Under Category : Radio

RF Power Amplifier for QRP with low cost. This circuit is a broadband one from 1.8 to 30 MHz, so it is “no-tune” and you need only to regulate the quiescent current bias multiturn trimmer of each Mosfets couple. This means also low efficiency (for a lower IMD it is even low as around 20-30%) [...]
