In the `DSP` tab`s `Local Oscillator` section, click on the button marked `Single Band` and type in the desired center frequency (7046000). This sets Rocky`s center frequency at 7. 046 MHz. Set up your transceiver (or other signal source) to transmit a low power signal at 7. 059 KHz into a dummy load and loosely couple it to the board with a short wire If your signal source

can sweep the frequency, observe Rocky`s spectrum display as the generator sweeps through the "chunk" of bandwidth centered on the center frequency. Inject an RF signal of about 10 mV RMS at the ANT and RTN pads on the right side on the main board. The signal should be a few kHz either side of the selected center frequency (e. g. , inject a 7. 059 MHz signal for a center frequency of 7. 046 MHz. Look for the output at the R (ring) and T (tip) pads on the left side of the main board. It should be an audio frequency representing the difference between the injected signal and the selected center frequency and it should be approximately 5 V p-p. Once the mixer tests are completed and the extra hardware is installed, you are ready to take the radio for a spin. This final test will use Rocky as the SDR Software. This test assumes you have the following:
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
