1 Watt RF Amplifier - This is a universal 1

RF power amplifier is based on the transistor
2SC1970 and 2N4427. The output power is about 1.3W
and the input driving power is 30-50mW. It will
still get your RF signal quit far and I advice you
to use a good 50 ohm resistor as dummy load. To tune
this amplifier you can either use a power
meter/wattmeter, SWR unit or you can do using a RF
field meter.

Take your FM radio and search for the low-beat 'humbe-humbe-humbe-etc'
equal to the flash of the LED (Tony van Roon's
probably around the 100Mhz). Found it? If that

100Khz Crystal Calibrator - There is a great
deal of old amateur gear which many amateurs have
decided to restore and bring back to life. While
much of the early amateur transceivers work just
fine they usually lack a digital readout and must
rely on analog dials for tuning. The problem of dial
calibration is complicated by the non-linear effects
of tuning capacitors. This month's circuit is a
100Khz crystal calibrator using an inexpensive
microprocessor crystal and CMOS IC's which are
readily available at Radio Shack.... [Radio Amateur

provided a number of circuits so you can work out
the best type for your application and these

2N2222 40 Meter CW/DSB Transceiver - In spring
of 1998, NorCal sponsored a contest to design and
build a project using no ICs and 22 or fewer 2N2222s
as the active semiconductor devices. I thought this
was a really intriguing idea, so I set about to
design my version.

302 MHz Prescaler - A preamp that drives the
CMOS counter input and a divide by 10 prescaler to
extend the range of A Little More Serious Frequency
Meter. The MCT10280 prescaler can be set to divide
by 80, 40, 20, or 10, as a function of which pins
are tied to the power supply. I set this one to
divide by 10 since it is adequate for my needs, and
the mental calculation of multiplying the meter
reading by 10 is not taxing. One problem with the
MCT10280 is that if it doesn't have an adequate
input, the output is very noisy, which shows up as
counts in the couple MHz range on the frequency
meter. This noise shows up if the signal amplitude
the signal frequency is too low. For this reason, I
only intend to use the prescaler with inputs between
10 MHz and 300 MHz.
303MHz TRANSMITTER with 32kHz Crystal - We have
covered 27MHz (and 49MHz) links on P1 and P2 of this

channels.
We also showed how to produce on/off from a single
channel and how to detect 27MHz with a Field
Strength Meter.30m direct Conversion receiver - This simple
receiver was originally intended to check the
transmission of my 30m QRSS beacon. By tuning the
30m receiver to Russia's RWM time signal on exactly
9996kHz I was able to calibrate my frequency
counter, which I could then use to measure the
output of the QRSS beacon and adjust the reading for
a very high precision. Later, I modified my 1-valve
ECL82 CW transmitter for 30m operation and enjoyed
several QSO's on 30m CW.

3V FM Transmitter for 88MHz to 108MHz - The
important part of the circuit is formed of the
Colpitts type oscillator. C3,C4,C5,C6,CD1-CD2 and L1
determines the frequency. BF982 and dual gate MOSFET
are active parts in oscillator. When the input
impedance of the MOSFET gate inputs are high, LC
tank is not affected. However transistors force the
LC tank and cause phase shift. Two driver stages are
added to isolate the antenna from oscillator. First
stage (BF199) amplifies the low signal of the
oscillator and works as a constant load. The second
stage (BFR90) amplifies the signal going through the
antenna some more. A short copper wire can be used
as an antenna here. Attaching a large antenna to
this circuit is unnecessary because the output power
is low.
3W FM Transmitter - This is the schematic for
an FM transmitter with 3 to 3.5 W output power that
can be used between 90 and 110 MHz. Although the
stability isn't so bad, a PLL can be used on this
circuit. This is a circuit that I've build a few
years ago for a friend, who used it in combination
with the BLY88 amplifier to obtain 20 W output
power. From the notes that I made at the original
schematic, it worked fine with a SWR of 1 : 1.05
(quite normal at my place with my antenna).

5 Channel RF AVR Remote Control - How many
times you needed some remote control to handle some
electric device ? many times. There are lot of
remote controls like infrared, RF, SMS (like my
other circuit) and more. The basic small-range
remote controls are 2, Infrared and RF (Radio
Frequency). One of the weaks of Infrared is that the
signal can not pass the walls. So, if you want to
control your garage door, the only way is to use
some RF remote control. The circuit (transmitter and
receiver) use few components and ordinary (I love
few component circuits) . Its easy to build it
because you don't have to tune-up any coil or
variable capacitor. The RF modules are fix to work
in 418MHz area.
5 watt 80 meter QRP CW Transceiver - A great

transceiver is similar to other designs but contains
some unique differences.

is 2.5 to 5 watts, depending on input drive and dc

BA1404 HI-FI Stereo FM Transmitter
- The above
FM transmitter design is a result of many hours of
testing and tweaking. The goal was simple; to test
many existing BA1404 transmitter designs, compare
their performance, identify weaknesses and come up
with a new BA1404 transmitter design that improves
sound quality, has very good frequency stability,
maximizes transmitter's range, and is fairly simple
for everyone to build. We are happy to announce that
this goal and expectations have been met and even

fact a combined high- and lowpass filter. The first
stages are a high pass (f>70MHz) and the last stages
