Anglian transverters
I am pleased to announce that after a long delay, a small number
of Anglian 3 144MHz transverters will shortly be offered for
sale.
I agreed with Leo Bodnar that he could manufacture the
transverter. Leo is initially making available a small quantity
of the transverters, to the original design.
When these are available they will be advertised on this web
page and on the Leo Bodnar Electronics web page.
Subsequently, the design will undergo an update to make the
transverter more assembly friendly. Kits will not be offered.
These will be built boards.
Beacons
Efforts are under way to re-establish the Martlesham microwave
beacons. To date the 23cm beacon is back in service after a
lengthy absence. Both 9 and 6cm beacons continue to work
normally. The 3cm beacon is currently undergoing on-air test
from my home QTH near Felixstowe.
The 24GHz beacon was moved to Bedford to assist OFCOM with some
propagation tests.
The 13cm beacon has antenna problems and these need to be
addressed before the new beacon is installed.
The current state of the Martlesham beacons can
be found on the Martlesham beacon web page (new). https://mrsbeacon.org.uk/
VLNA and PGA preamps and kits
These are no longer being manufactured as DDKits.
The PGA432 design has been adopted by AMSAT UK and
re-designed by G0MRF for use with satellites. Kits are
available from AMSAT UK
A 23cm version of the PGA preamp, using the existing board,
is available from G8AFC. This is very suitable for use with
the IC9700, to overcome typical feeder losses.
