I have working on the installation of my new Farhan-designed JBOT amplifier in my old Azorean DSB transceiver. I&#8217;m really enjoying this project, and I now see it as the first in a series. My shack has a number of creations that were built during the peak years of the last solar cycle, but have since fallen into disuse. Many of them were partially cannibalized &#8212; usually it was the RF amplifier that was taken out. The JBOT was just what I needed. I plan to refurbish all of these rigs, adding a bit of India to each one of them. This is very much in keeping with our &#8220;International Brotherhood of Electronic Wizards&#8221; ethos. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">The installation went fairly well, but with all of the ups and downs that accompany this kind of project. The amp worked fine on the bench, fed with a signal generator and into a dummy load. But of course, life got more complicated when I installed it in the rig. Yes, it took off on me. This was no fault of the amplifier &#8212; I just needed to add some additional shielding. It is working fine now. See above. I moved it out of center stage and put it off in the corner to avoid feedback problems. More discussion of this in the next podcast (maybe this weekend). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Our book: &#8220;SolderSmoke &#8212; Global Adventures in Wireless Electronics&#8221;<\/span><a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" href=\"http:\/\/soldersmoke.com\/book.htm\">http:\/\/soldersmoke.com\/book.htm<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Our coffee mugs, T-Shirts, bumper stickers: <\/span><a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/SolderSmoke\">http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/SolderSmoke<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Our Book Store: <\/span><a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/contracross-20\">http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/contracross-20<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8216;ve been remiss in posting to the blog, but I have a good excuse: I&#8217;ve been melting solder.
