Output power of this transmitter is around 0.8 watts sufficient enough for qrp operation.This circuit uses easily available old radio junks like shortwave osc.coil , audio output transformer, 2J variable gang condensers, which makes your job easy. If you have any suggestions or modification ideas please let me know at bcdxer@hotmail.com.

This simple BFO can be useful to resolve SSB signal in your shortwave radio receiver. Keep the wire from bfo near to ur receiver when you logged a ssb signal and tune the core of IFT till better audio.

Low Cost ATU for QRP rigs

The circuit shows simple low cost ATU for QRP transmitter projects. The coil is wound on a 12mm ferrite rod, which can be junked from old radio receivers.The wire will be 20swg and  the winding should occupy 4cm long.VC1 and VC2 are 365 pf Variable condensers used in radio receivers.

21MHz DSB Transmitter

See the circuit! DSB transmitter has no need of a crystal filter. It does not need a frequency transverter. It is easy to make. And it can make QSO with normal SSB stations. Therefore DSB is best modulation for the amateur radio builder. The mic amplifier makes the audio signal stronger. The VXO oscillates a 10.6MHz signal. This is doubled by the amplifier of the TA7320 IC. These two signals are modulated by the DBM of the TA7320. There comes the 21MHz DSB signal. HF amplifier makes this signal to 250mW.

Input transformer of this circuit is an audio transformer. The output transformer of this modulator is made by coil. This modulator is understood as a pair of base grounded amplifier for the carrier. But two output of collector is connected as other side of a coil. Therefore the carrier is balanced and can not be out for the antenna connector

This is oscillator using a crystal. This oscillator makes the wave 5 times of the crystal. 19.2*5=96MHz. And the frequency is modulated by the audio signal came from the base of the transistor.Do not joint the antenna wire for this transmitter! The frequency of this transmitter is stable than self oscillator. But it is not so stable as a normal crystal oscillator. The antenna wire changes the frequency.

Ramsey HR-40 CW/SSB Direct Conversion Receiver

Figure shows the circuit for the HR-40 Direct Conversion Receiver for 40 meters. Here’s how this circuit works. The incoming signal from the antenna is coupled through C5 and the RF gain control R1, to antenna input transformer L1. (A 10.2-MHz IF transformer, detuned to cover the 40-meter band, can be substituted.) This “tuned” transformer peaks the  desired signal and applies it to the NE602’s mixer section. The shielded oscillator coil, L2, along with varactor diode D1, R2, R5, C1, C2, C3, and
C4, form an oscillator network with the NE602’s internal oscillator. Rotating R2 varies the oscillator’s frequency over a tuning range of about 250 kHz. The NE602 mixes the incoming RF signal with the signal from the internal oscillator to produce an audio signal at Pin 4. The output audio signal is coupled to the LM 386 audio amplifier via coupling capacitor C8 and volume control R3. Capacitor C9 boosts the voltage gain of the LM386 to about 50. The high-level audio output is coupled from Pin 5, U2, to external headphones or a low impedance (4 to 8 ohms) speaker through coupling capacitor C12 and output connector J2.NE602.

An internal 9-volt transistor battery (or an external power source of about 9–12 Vdc, 60 mA) is used to power the HR-40. Note that zener diode D2, along with C10 and R4, form a 6.2-Vdc voltage regulator network to improve stability of the NE602’s internal oscillator circuit.

Cigar·lighter polarity Tester

image

Before you plug your equipment into the cigar lighter of your new (or an unknown) car, it's a good idea to test the lighter polarity. Fig shows a simple means of doing this. The circuit tests for a center positive condition at the lighter; if the lighter is powered, and + 12 volts is connected to its center contact, DSllights. Carry this gadget with your "pluggable" 12-V gear; it could save your transceiver from a quick demise.
