I've been playing with my ARR-41 receiver trying to figure out how
to use it in a "Transceive" mode similar to what I did with the
R-390A. (see link below) The plan would be to use the the main
ARR-41 "VFO" that covers 2.5 to 3.5 Mhz. I would use this signal as
a drive signal for the transmitter converter. How ever this
signal (2.5 to 3.5) is very weak around .1 ( point one) Volt PP and
any additional load on this signal degrades my input into the 1st IF
and reduces receiver sensitivity.
I need a couple of volts PP and would like to stick with a fairly
simple converter using a doubler, a osc/ mixer, and a 6CL6 stage -
- - then use the output to drive another transmitter oscillator
stage or operate QRP with a couple of watts.
Any suggestons?
