Components
I replaced the original 400 mW PA (2N2222) and his 10 Ω emitter resistor with a 1 W PA
2N3553 and 4.7 Ω resistor : some more dB, for a stronger signal over my poor antenna system.
U3 is a pre-programmed IC used for :
1. Sidetone
2. Frequency Shift between TX and RX
3. Frequency Shift Reverse
4. Built-In Iambic Keyer.
The sidetone is a square wave frequency connected to phone thru C8 (0.1 uF).
The sidetone level depends on C8 reactance, so you can replace this capacitor with a smaller
one to decrease the sidetone level, and, if the cap is replaced by rc filter (100 ohms and 0.1 uF
in series and 0.1 uF from Q1 source to gnd, the sidetone will become sine waveform ; final
values depend on impedance of phones.
The frequency shift (~0.7 kc) determines the pitch of rx audio signal due to the difference
between incoming and LO (Y2) frequencies.
The frequency shift can be reversed, to work another station.
The built-in iambic keyer is default 16 wpm, but can be modified by following the simple
instructions.
Grounding the two Xtals is very important to improve their mechanical stability and
shielding (Y2) from broadcastings.
Input Filter
Dave (dave@smallwonderlabs.com) solved the problems of the broadcastings by projecting an
input xtal filter, composed by Y1, the same frequency of (Y2) LO xtal, and some components.
The loss of Y1 is compensated by U1 (SA612 SMT IC) gain: the result is a 3 x 2.5 cm front
end/amplifier/product detector.
