Poor mans Portsdown

Post by VK5BI » Sat Jan 13, 2018 4:24 am

The BI PI a DATV TX based on the U2790B modulator.
Next step is to getting it driving my 1296mhz, 5.7ghz and 10ghz transverters.

Hi Wayne

Great idea! Do you simply switch in appropriate LC filters for the IQ signals?

It would be good if you could publicise the circuit design to allow others to follow suit.

Thanks Dave,

the IQ filtering if done with 2 of the boards from the digilite era in CQ-TV252. These are switched with the 4 pole toggle switches.
