This is what I use. You need an 74LS161 and a half a 74LS74 or CMOS equivalents. Dead easy! 73, Dave G3WCB IO91RM -----Original Message----- From: owner-rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org [mailto:owner-rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org]On Behalf Of Dick Sent: 18 August 2006 21:07 To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org Subject: Re: LF: QRSS QRG's Ok thanks, hmmm unfortunatly I am a bit late in discovering this, as I already made the first part of an X-tal oscillator for 136.320kHz........ Well, I guess I have to start looking in my X-tal again. Problem is how to make 137.7 (or better 137.7x2) from an X-tal. Of course I have nothing in my junkbox that can be divided to this frequency, in fact even for 136.320 I had to manually modifiy an X-tal by opening it up and painting it. Anyway, meanwhile I got QRSS running! Now I only need to built something that creates the right fixed frequency.... My VXO will reach it, but is not acurate enough , I guess. 73 Dick, PA4VHF QRV tomorrow 14-15 utc in beacon mode around 136.550kHz with 8wpm. QRSS activety to follow soon, I hope. Unfortunatly I can't listen, because band is blocked by heavy QRM/QRN from a light dimmer somewhere in the neighbourhood......
