It is a variant of a simple DC transceiver. Transistor
of PA works like a mixer in receiving mode. So, there is no any
commutation in the RF circuits. The transceiver has output power
0.35- Wtts, shift TX/RX- 400-Hz, RX sensitivity 2 microV. Power
voltage is 15-V, current at RX/TX- 30/120-mA.
Figure
1 shows schematic of the transceiver. VFO
is made on V2. C6C7L4C8C9C10 is tuned on 14-MHz. L3C4 is tuned on
28- MHz. When key (connected to X2) is "down" (TX-
mode) relay K1 provides plus 15-V onto transistor V1. At RX mode
the transistor works like a mixer. Audio signal (at RX-mode) goes
through filter C3L5C11 (3- kHz cutoff
frequency) onto audio amplifier made on V4,V5,V6
(amplification factor more the 10000). High-Ohmic headphones (3-
4-kOhm at DC, old military ones) are used with the amplifier. The
phones are connected to X3. Low Ohmic phones does not work good with the amplifier. |
Inductor L4 has 18 turns of wire in 0.6-mm (23-AWG) diameter, winding
length is 12- mm, coiled on a form of 8-mm diameter. L3 has 9 turns
of wire in 0.25- mm (30- AWG) diameter, coiled on a ferrite ring
10- mm OD x 5- mm ID x- 10- mm- H with permeability 50, tap made
from 6-turn from "cold" end. L2 has 3 turns of wire in
0.25- mm (30- AWG) diameter, coiled above L3. Inductor L1 has 10
turns of wire in 0.6-mm (23-AWG) diameter, winding length is 14-
mm, coiled on a form of 10-mm diameter, tap made from 3-turn from
"cold" end. L5 has inductance 0.15- H. It is possible
to use collector's coil from an output transformer from any transistor
radio.
