This is Nuclear Radiation Detector

which has been modernized with Gamma detector tube Geiger Muller (SBM-20) and digital counter .

Once it saved health of my family !

 

  USB to serial UART RS-232 + PTT from DTR/RTS

Morse Code Beacon Keyer

My old design with AT89C1051 www.cqham.ru/beacon21.htm , for VHF beacon in repiter RR3WA, program (asm file)

My new design with ATtiny13 with long dash 10 sec. program (asm file)

10 MHz Rubidium Frequency Reference EFRATOM LPRO-101

I use Frequency Reference for operating on the microwave bands 5,7 & 10 GHz with narrowband modes (CW)

I use small power beacon with TXCO 10 MHz for control my microwave system from precision frequency of EFRATOM LPRO-101.

Beacon make many spurious - and have good level 5760 and 10370 MHz for comparison and calibration my LO XVTR 6&3cm.

Spectrum measurements with R&S spectrum analyzer

 

 

Spectrum measurements with Anritsu spectrum analyzer, Fnoise better 100dbc/Hz.

 

"Lazy" LC tuner 1,8 - 30 MHz

 

I like old vintage receivers. You can see photo my old USSR VEF-202 radio receiver.

Manufactured in Riga, Latvia, VEF

(my receiver was made on 1979)

Super-Heterodyne receiver

( only 10 semiconductor transistors) have LW and some SW broadcast band.

I added 19m and 17m bands.

(easy for this receivers, you need only free band-plate for make new band).

I have made also CW local oscillator (LO) in IF frequency 465 kHz. This LO mast be set near IF amplifier and receiver modification to enable them as CW/SSB-reception.

These are the VEF-202 IF filter modifications with ceramic filter 465 kHz.

The VEF-202 uses the simple LC filter 465 kHz with bandwitdh about 13-14 kHz and not good selectivity perfomance. You can install low cost ceramic IF Filter PF1P-õõ with bandwitdh 6-8 kHz. (also FP1P-õõ)

After you installed ceramic filter - you mast adjustment L32 L33 L34

and may be L36 for better bandwidth and min loss in passband !

You can see and listen my receiver after modification, i did not save voice from BC station, ....but saved CW and SSB in RadioHam`s 17 and 40 m bands:

Air 40m band

Air 17m band

Windows Media Video - WMV file

17 m SSB

17 m CW

40 m SSB

You can ask me about circuit diagram and all modification of VEF-202.
