Hi As part of your “simple replacement” … keep in mind that it needs to act both as a multiplier *and* as a mixer. The two modes need to be reasonably separate from each other or you (likely) get a real mess. Bob > On Oct 25, 2020, at 4:26 PM, Ulf Kylenfall via time-nuts > wrote: > > >

Hello Time Nuts, I'm going to try a two antenna approach - parts are on order. Buying a 2nd board vs. trying to implement a low-noise amplifier is a wash for the cost for the 2nd audio board. It will require a few board mods - but they are simple. When I have some interesting results, I will

Disassembled the surplus Rx cell by first disconnecting the short jumper cable and then unscrewed the brass part. Inside was a tiny diode, color coded "391" as have been previously discussed in a thread some years ago. I recon that if a diode would some time in the future breakan external

That doesn't appear to give you 1/4 the base sampling rate as you suggest with "... to sample at 4 times the desired rate..." I do something similar on a 1kHz tone, generating I/Q at 1kHz sampling rate on a bandwidth up to 500Hz, ie 750 - 1250Hz Samples at 4kHz are S1, S2, S3, S4 Then I = S1 + S2

Thanks everyone for the responses. Enough for now. Time to make anything happen. Will let you know and perhaps start a new thread around this. Regards Paul WB8TSL On Sat, Oct 24, 2020 at 10:17 PM Graham / KE9H wrote: > Paul: > > The easiest way to convert a single sample into an I-Q

Hi There are two versions of the 10811, one plugs into the “target” via an edge connector. If that is the version you have, there are pin(s) that should be used for the oven ground connection. Bob > On Oct 25, 2020, at 7:11 AM, Joe & Gisela Noci wrote: > > Well, spent a good few days undoing
