The VFO functions good

Re: It's Alive! [1 Attachment]
Good job Jeff!? I hope that when I finish mine, I have the same results!? The first 49-er kit that I assembled, also put out just under 2 watts.? Then for fun, I put my HF-Packer linear amplifier

Re: Got my ticket!
I am planning on going to a field day somewhere this Saturday. I suspect I will go to the North Fulton (Roswell, GA) one since it is nearby and I can only do it for a couple of hours. I've received

It's Alive!
I finished assembling my unit on the weekend and it seems to be working quite well. It picks up quite a few CW stations in the evening and I'm getting RF output of close to 2 Watts. I have to find a

Re: Pilot error?
I wouldn't unsolder them yet, until you're convinced they're bad. Check the voltage on the base and collectors of the transistors. I can't remember the voltages you should see on the collectors, but

Re: Pilot error?
Ah - you are on to something. As best I can measure, I see no output from either transistor. Its hard to believe that both are faulty, but should I try to replace both of them? Last time I tried to

Re: Faulty Mini 360 Buck voltage regulator in the nano-DDS kit
Karl, nice to see another "old timer" still at it! I'm 76, still having a great time (between the pain pills). I got an early start at 14, so I may have an advantage. Don't give up on it, you will
