Thanks to all who wrote me with questions, interest, expectations and positive “WOW” feedbacks. This urged us to move fast forward and start production of the first ten ready-to-use units. We plan to have them finished till next months. Then
After the successful presentation start of RGO one we made some contacts on 40/20 meters. Here is a short video of a special event station for the hamvention – W8BI
RGO ONE homemade transceiver will be presented during this year HAM convention in Xenia, OH (18-20 may 2018). We welcome everybody to visit our booth #8014. Congrats for friends from AMECO who will give us a shelter. Right after the
Rgo ONE HF transceiver has built in CW iambic memory keyer. 1. Speed 5 – 45 WPM 2. Keying mode – Curtis A; CMOS B (Accu keyer;CMOS keyer but with 30% more tolerance) 3. 4 memory locations with 128 symbols
CQ WW DX contest 2017 participation. First QSO’s with my new transceiver Rgo One. Here are the results: Band QSOs Pts ZN Cty Pt/Q 3.5 235 265 8 44 1.1 7 275 405 16 58 1.5 14 108
This unit includes the following: intermediate frequency IF amplification – MC1350 optional crystal filter (4 pole variable crystal Jones type filter) RX product detector – SA612 AF preamplifier – MC33079DG RX MUTE and sidetone input circuitry AF final amplifier –
In order to form DSB/CW modulation on TX, a SSBGEN board is used. It consists of the following parts: Microphone preamplifier and TX audio amplifier – TL082 Switched input: LINE IN or MIC (MUX 4053) DSB modulator – SA612 CW
Six band pass filters were built to cover 10-80m bands on RX. Schematic utilizes Skywork solutions AS169 PHEMT GaAs SPDT switches, used in modern wirelless equipments. In order to perform individually “fine tune” a variable coil inductors are used. The
Three types control knobs are used in this project: MAIN dial knob – for VFO frequency tune ENCODER knobs – various functions DUAL CONCENTRIC knobs – AF/RF gain control
To bring more professional and stylish appearance we decided to design custom front panel especially for this project. Next question was: Injection plastic mold or machined aluminum First, we made one prototype of machined aluminum in order to test if
