Re: LF: My 500kHz 10W Transverter is almost ready

[Roger Lapthorn <rogerlapthorn@gmail.com>]

Thank you for your kind words Steiner. 

There are a couple of errors on my schematic that I must correct (T50-2 red, not T50-6 yellow in the buffer and the wrong value of coupling cap between the LO and buffer). I measured the harmonic output on a friend's spectrum analyser today. If you are not using a sharply tuned antenna like a loop or short Marconi (like me) then I recommend adding an additional low pass filter on the output. The one on GW3UEP's page would be ideal. (6n8s and a 15uH inductor).

Hi all,

My 500kHz 10W Transverter is almost ready (just a little cosmetic
remains) .

A big thanks to Roger G3XBM for this nice and simple design.

I don't have the the right equipment for testing the output, but the 15W
50ohm dummy load is getting really hot .

The big issue now is the antenna. My first thought was a kind of a T(
top hat)-antenna, but I have a loop antenna about 80 meter in
circumference and 6/7 meter above the ground . What about using the loop
as a capacity on the top of a vertical or using the loop as an ordinary
loop antenna for 600m ?
