DiSEqC-Tester allows to test DiSEqC-Switches that uses 1.0 or 1.1 protocols. (DiSEqC-Switches with 2.0 and 2.1 protocol have backwards compatibility with 1.0 & 1.1 respectively and also may be tested). The device every second sends command “Switch next port”. [more]

Five by Twenty : A 5 tubes SSB QRP Transceiver for 20m Ham band.It is a true SSB transceiver built around just 5 vacuum tubes, with no transistors nor ICs. Superhet receiver with AGC and S-meter drives a loudspeaker, 5W transmitter. Very stable VXO uses CB crystals to cover 20m Ham band.[more]

This design use to boost the output power of low power FM broadcast band exciters, a number of these are available commercially, both as kits and ready made. The amplifier design is based on the recently introduced (1998) Motorola MRF171A MOSFET.The initial feasibility was performed using a linear RF and microwave simulation package, specifically Supercompact.

Here is my home-built, cloth iron soldered, range extender for CC1101 (included onboard) RF transceiver chip from Texas Instruments. You could say that it is a CC1101+CC2591, but for 868/920MHz band. I used MAX2233 RF amplifier from Maxim-IC. It can deliver up to +24dBm (250mW) of RF amplification with +10dBm of input.You can download the project files at the bottom of this page by clicking on red “download” button.
