Searching for a SDR transmitter suitable for lowfer, I found the HF I/Q
SDR transmitter DT2
by YU1LM. See http://yu1lm.qrpradio.com/ for schematics and layout for PC
board. I think there
is a corrected version at the end of the site called DT2A.
This is a transmitter capable of generating all modes via the computer
sound card. Injection required is
4x center freq. This could be accomplished with a 74hc4060 and a
microprocessor xtal. 6.0mhz divided
by 8(750khz) would give a center freq of 187.5 khz. The generated signal
could be +/- 24 khz of this freq.
Paired with his SDR rec this would make a good tranceiver project or a
stand alone tx( with computer).
The DT2 is all standard parts, easily built, and inexpensive. The author
claims circuit is good from 30khz
to 30mhz.
I want to build the DR2a rec first as a dedicated lowfer rec. Then try the
tx for multi-modes.
There is much info about SDR rec construction and software but little
about software for transmitting. Can anyone
suggest links to software for tx by SDR?
Thanks
