Multiband exciter stages....

G6LBQ multiband exciter is almost finished.

Couple of things in the todo list including the LSB/USB crystals and crystal filter unit.
Certainty I have not tested any of the stages other than 1 & 2. I just measured the current consumption of both stages.  23-25 mA deflected in my multimeter.

MK2 exciter uses LM380 as the audio amplifier.LM380 (8 pin) version is not readily available in the market, I need to look for a good source.

Starter Post

Well , This is my first post about experiments in Amateur Radio....

Recently I started building one Transceiver based on the G6LBQ MK2 Exciter.

Couple of weeks back I received the Exciter board from DXKits




Exciter Stage - 1 is just finished :)...


I have built one Band Pass Filter which covers the entire HF Bands..


G4CFY kit(SPECTRUM COMMUNICATIONS) is used to build the BPF.

I will post test results of BPF, and new pictures of exciter stages in coming days..
