Project 2 - 80m QRP SSB Transceiver

Our second project is the MAKARS80 transceiver, with optional CW adaptor.

The transceiver has:

• 5 watts output
• trus SSB (not DSB) with crystal filter
• superhet receiver
• all components mounted on a single PCB
• metal case

The transceiver kit was designed by G6ALU of the Milton Keynes Amateur Radio Society. However, we are currently proposing to use a locally designed AF oscillator as the CW adaptor.

Project 1 - Direction Finding Receiver

In recent years, the club has held mini Direction Finding contests in the school ground using a small, low powered top band transmitter. Members used a variety of receivers to hunt the transmitter.

The DF transmitter.

In order to promote construction, a small battery powered direct conversion receiver was designed and built by a number of club members.
