This transmitters' intended purpose is for morse-code only in the 30 meter band (10Mhz). It is a low-power QRP type and needs to be connected to your existing tranceiver. The harmonic rejections on the prototype were measured at 40dB on 20Mhz and 50dB on 30Mhz. The transmitter is build as a Colpitts Oscillator with a strong 2N2219(A) transistor. HF-output of the oscillator is 100 to 500 mW, depending on the supply voltage of 5 to 20 Volts. The transmit frequency is stabilized with the 10Mhz crystal. A slight detuning is possible by putting a 150pF trimmer capacitor between C2 and the xtal.

The
oscillator signal is taken from the collector of Q2 by induction and via a low-feedthrough filter and guided to the
output. This particular filter is called "Chebychev" and uses standard E12 type values. The oscillator is keyed by
Q1, which biases as long as the morse-key is open and the base of Q1 is at ground level. By keying the morse-key Q1
is blocked and allows Q2 to freely oscillate. For best results, use the double sided pcb as shown above. Coil L4
exists of Primary 6 turns and secundary 3 turns of 0.5mm magnet wire on a Amidon T-94-2 donut. Outside diameter is
24 mm and inside diameter is 14mm; the A(l) value is 84µH per 100 turns and permeability of 10. Q2 needs
a coolrib! The whole circuit needs to be mounted in an all-metal/aluminum case. If you're unable to obtain an
all-metal case, then use a roll of self-sticking aluminum tape (available from your hardware store), just make sure
that all individual pieces of aluminum-tape are conducting with each other. Works fine. Don't forget the coolrib
on T2.
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.....
