"Solent" G8MCQ 23cm Transmitter PLL
Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2018 12:28 pm
Hi All,
Couldn't see a introduction section here so first of all wanted to say hello!
I'm Dale 2W0ODS based in Newport South Wales, bit of a radio/tv/satellite and hifi enthusiast.
Currently messing around with a "Solent" 23cm C8MCQ transmitter, mine doesn't have the PLL board fitted and just has a multiturn pot to set the frequency. Bit of a long shot as this has been out of production for so long, I'm thinking about fitting either an internal PLL board if I can source one or are there any alternatives I can use/build externally?
Also currently starting work on the Portsdown project, gradually getting parts together for this and rather excited.
3.5" LCD will be with me tomorrow and going to 3D print a Bezel for it to go in a chassis, will share the STL file when I get around to doing that.
Actively involved with all things radio, especially SDR and active within the satellite RX community, I have a number of dishes here mainly for broadcast RX on polar mounts and diseqc motors, I have some PLL LNB's on order ready to modify for some 10GHz stuff and looking forward to Es'hail 2.
Although I'm a radio amateur I prefer higher frequencies and not active on HF these days.
Nice to meet you all, love the magazine
