You'll still need to make the 1st IF board yourself, but trust me, that's easy. I didn't believe Glenn at first, just follow the procedure in the article and it works! The receiver board is 4-3/4 x 5-3/4", double sided, and drilled, *but not plated through* (hence you'll have to solder top and bottom leads in some cases). This shouldn't be a big problem because there are no signal traces on the component side--it's all ground plane. Folks who helped make these boards available (though they may not all want to admit it :-) are Glenn Elmore n6gn (of course), John Conner wd0fhg, Ron Atkinson n8fow, Fred Reimers kf9gx, Bdale Garbee n3eua, and Jon Bloom ke3z. They're available from: Fred A. Reimers kf9gx FAR Circuits 18N640 Field Ct. Dundee, IL 60118-9269 for $15. Fred just shipped 8 to me for $5 postage, but I'm not sure what the rate would be for smaller quantities. 73, Bob, ke9yq ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1993 23:14:27 -0400 From: ve3mmn@gw.ve3rpi.ampr.org Subject: Radios on 9600 To: tcpgroup@ucsd.edu I'm not sure of the phone number for A & A Engineering, but they often advertise in QST and 73. They sell a line of low cost gadgets for amateur use such as low-cost spectrum analyzer front ends for your scope etc. I have their catalog at home, but I am working in Toronto for the summer and it will be a few days before I can get the information. I do have two of the filters here, and the markings on them are: TEMEX TE5120 Probably not of much use but you never know. The Maxar/Moxy radios look interesting for high speed, they are a single conversion receiver with no second IF. I installed wider filters in a radio last weekend to make a pair and have been burning them in on the bench since then. I don't think the second radio was quite as flat in the passband but I was using a different sweeper than what I used for the first so that is not too conclusive. So far though the results have been encouraging.
