Neal, I use a Raytheon RA-250 on 160 and for the VFO I bought a master oscillator for an ARC-38 from the Fair Radio Store. I think that it was around $35. Inside this beast is a Collins PTO that tunes 1.75-3Mhz, I may be off a bit on the freq range.
I built a regulated power supply and added a cathode follower circuit for the PTO and use it to feed the grid of the oscillator in the RA-250. Works great, very stable and easy to use. Looked at your web site and saw the RCA, looks great. I am in the process of re-working a RCA BTA-1R for multi band operation. You can have a look at it here, http://photos.yahoo.com/kc8opp I will be using a Kenwood 520 for an exciter for the RCA. I have been using this same radio with a HB rig for the last year and seems to work good. Good luck with your projects. 73's Roger KC8OPP --- Neal Newman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jim Do you have a website up? > I run a few broadcast transmitters on 160 Meters > AM.... looking for a > crystal replacement to change Frequencys On 160 > meters.. any plans on a > VFO for these type Rigs? > Neal Newman-KA2CAF > Big Iron collector > http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/wttm/rca.html __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
