SDR Misadventures. <\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

SDR on a tablet Just like WA7HRG <\/b><\/div>\n
Pi Day More RaspPi Linux observations TOO HARD <\/b><\/div>\n
The problem of Si5351 and updated libraries — old sketches don’t work! <\/b><\/div>\n
My SDR question: If we go with direct sampling, no need for I and Q at front end No image problem, right? But why is there often a digital I and Q in the direct sampling receivers? <\/b><\/div>\n
<\/b><\/div>\n
BITX MODULE<\/b><\/div>\n
Getting RF in through the DDS jack. <\/b><\/div>\n

The perils of a crowded box <\/b><\/div>\n
Building RF amp board (BITX Module design) for the NE602 rig.<\/b><\/div>\n
NE602s do not put out a lot of power. uW<\/b><\/div>\n
BITX Module Amp circuits very stable. <\/b><\/div>\n
Chassis as the heat sink. <\/b><\/div>\n
Mic amp? We don’t need no stinkin’ mic amp! But yes, we do. 741 on the way. <\/b><\/div>\n
<\/b><\/div>\n
Parts on e-bay very expensive! Back to the hamfests. On to Manassas! <\/b><\/div>\n
