Experimental CW QRP Transceiver: ANTENTOP-01 - 2006, # 008

This document describes an experimental CW QRP transceiver with the following specifications: - Frequency coverage from 14,000 to 14,200 kHz - Power supply voltage from 10 to 15 VDC - Transmitter power up to 5W The transceiver uses common VFO and electronic switching circuits. The receiver has a sensitivity better than 1 microvolt and selectivity determined by the quartz filter. The document provides schematics of the transmitter, receiver, VFO, audio amplifier, and electronic switching circuits. Adjustment and tuning of the individual circuits is described.

ANTENTOP- 01- 2006, # 008 Experimental CW QRP Transceiver

By: A. Dolinin, UA9LAK/UN7, Baikonur

Parameters:
General
Frequencies coverage: 14,000 … 14,200 kHz;
Supply voltage: 10 to 15 VDC
Size and weight: depend on parts, used at
manufacturing.

Receiver
Sensitivity: better 1 microV;
Selectivity: depends on quartz filter

Transmitter
Power: up to 5 W (on 50 Ohm load);

Design: The block diagram of the trcv is shown on


Figure 1. No one electromagnetic relay here, an
electronic switch is used. Circuits of the rx and tx are
almost independent.

Common parts are VFO and electronic switch. The Russian IC 174PS1 (international functional analog
trcv may be a testing area for experiments with NE602 or NE612) are used in the trcv. The circuit of
different blocs. the receiver and transmitter (main board) is shown on
Figure 2.

PSB: I did not design a PSB for the transceiver. I did it by
“ugly” montage. Each block is mounted on the own board.

Adjustment and Tuning: Nothing special at tuning the
unit. Do adjustment from Audio Amplifier, then Receiver
