Good afternoon Tony, A first feedback from the Netherlands:
Ids it possible for you to adapt the frequencies al little bit? Here we cannot use the numbers 3 and 5. The 80-meter band goes up to 3.5MHz and the 40 meters up to 7.2MHz of wich from 7.1 up to 7.2 useless is becaus of stron broadcast SSB activity is just below 7.1MHz. 73, Henk, PA0KEP ----- Original Message ----- From: kb9yig To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, May 09, 2008 12:04 PM Subject: [softrock40] v8.3 Lite+Xtall kit details Good Morning All, The v8.3 kits that are being mailed today are sorted into four small zip-loc bags. One bag contains the circuit board and the packet of ICs. Please look carefully in the IC packet for the two SOT23-5 ICs in the rolled up end of the IC anti-static bag. Abbreviated markings on the top of the FIN1002 IC indicate that it is the FIN1002. The four BPF module kits are together in a zip-loc bag. Included with the BPF kits is a 9-pin length of a SIP socket strip. This socket strip is to be used as a tool to align the 2-pin and 3-pin sections of the header pins on the v8.3 circuit board. Afterwards the 9-pin socket may be snipped into 2-pin or 3-pin lengths as spares for the sockets that mount on the bottom of each BPF board. The third and forth zip-loc bags in the kit include the resistor/capacitor bag and a hardware bag. Included in the resistor/capacitor bag is an anti-static bag holding the programmed PIC, the PIC socket, the DIP switch and the 5 volts LM7805 TO-220 cased regulator IC. The 5 volt regulator mounts on top of the circuit board and the tab is fastened to the circuit board by 4-40 hardware provided in the kit. The programmed PIC, (Tom's v2.4 code), contains the following set of center frequencies for DIP switch inputs 0000 to 1111. 0 1.846 1 1.892 2 3.546 3 3.846 4 7.046 5 7.221 6 10.146 7 14.046 8 14.271 9 18.114 10 21.046 11 21.321 12 24.936 13 28.046 14 28.092 15 28.346 Feedback on the kit would be appreciated. Thanks and 73, Tony KB9YIG ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- avast! Antivirus: Inkomende bericht is niet besmet.
