I was hearing shortwave broadcast signals (Brother Stair!) and even strong 20 meter CW signals. I thought the problem may have been with the bandpass filters, but after thinking about it I focused on the diplexer coming out of the product detector. I put a simple diplexer (from W7EL&#8217;s Optimized Transceiver) in there and the problem disappeared. I still plan on beefing up the Bandpass Filters &#8212; the dual tuned circuits I have been using are, I think, inadequate. I needed some more space on the wood board so I installed a sort of &#8220;back porch&#8221; &#8212; you can see it in the video. I will build a power amplifier (RD6 or RD16) and a mic amp. Soon I will be on 15 and 10 with this rig. On this one, I am going the full &#8220;radical fundamentalist homebrewer&#8221; route: no ICs, no manufactured PC boards, no VFOs from old Yaesus.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The receiver is mostly done on my 15-10 rig, and I am following Farhan&#8217;s BITX20 advice: &#8220;pause at this point and listen to the receiver that you have built.&#8221; In the video I mention a problem with out-of-band signals.
