1 Group build proposal Michael G3WOE

2 MISSION A 10 radio for Whitton Members BITX

3 Group build project A new mission with a worthwhile and tangible outcome. To provide a new practical focus for the club meetings. Previous Club Projects Satellite Award. AO51 Satellite tracking system. CQWW entries (48 hour). CQ WPX contest entry. IOTA entry. Individual Projects EME moonbounce. (G1KAW) VLF to USA. (G0MRF)

4 Why this design? Good performance at very low cost Minimalistic design providing really useful functionality Uses main components bi-directionally. Where possible the same components are used for both transmit and receive. Interesting design which performs very well

5 BITX transceiver Essentially we are building a transmitter which works in both directions.!! IRF510 6w PA Low Pass A L U 10MHZ Mixer/ Mod Sideband Mixer Band Pass 14 MHZ BFO MHZ VFO 4 MHZ BI DIRECTIONAL TX TRANSMITTER
