Back in June we had a post about an amazing junkbox receiver project carried out by Tom in SW England: <\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

This was a receiver built around SBL-1 mixers and 10.7 MHz filters salvaged from an old satellite receiver. It was also the first radio receiver project undertaken by Tom. His use of FPGA technology is especially interesting. <\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

We asked Tom for more info and he kindly provided it: <\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

Tom also sent me Firmware sourcecode that may be reusable for STM8 users, and th<\/span>e FPGA design file (for Quartus users).
