I planning on homebuilding a QRSS setup, and I don't know where to start. There is just SO MUCH information out there. Would anyone be willing to help a new guy out? |

John,here are two links to electronic kits for low power QRP Transmitters from MFJ and Ramsey Electronics. They both can be setup to transmit below 1/2 watt. http://www.mfjenterprises.com/Search.php?searchit=transceiver+kit http://www.ramseyelectronics.com/hk/default.asp?page=ar Here is a great online powerpoint presentation of QRSs and QRPp by Don L. Jackson, AE5K made on April 5, 2003. I personally have never built a QRPp transceiver nor worked QRSs but being an RF Engineer this mode sounds very interesting and the principals of Signal to Noise Ratio on which the transmission and reception of weak signals is based is true. Good luck on your endeavors. Larry Thank you Larry, I've found plans for small CW receivers/transmitters, But I can't seem to decipher the schematics into a plan I could assemble on a perf board or the like. If you or anyone has a good teaching tool, or willing to be "elmer" to a newbie, re: Schematics I would appreciate it. John, I taught Basic Electricity, Basic Electronics, Radio Fundamentals, and RF Ground Radio while in the Department of Defense and I'm also a ARRL Licensing Instructor and would be honored to help you learn to read and understand schematic diagrams. How do you want to do this? You can email me using my email address shown here on Elmer Shack by clicking on my call sign. |
