A signal amplifier module for HF


In building QRP HF radios, having an RF signal level amplifier building block is handy. You want 50 Ohm output impedance, some reasonable gain, supply voltage of the usual 10-14V and ease of building using standard parts from your parts bin. Some searching around the interwebs came up with a good idea for circuit from Aaron Parks, KC8FQD, who did a YouTube video on a WWV receiver.

Build a 12V 7 2Ah SMF Battery Charger Circuit Diagram

Build a 12V 7.2Ah SMF Battery Charger Circuit Diagram . The LM317 is an adjustable three-terminal positive-voltage regulator capable of supplying more than 1.5A over an output-voltage range of 1.25 V to 37 V. It is exceptionally easy to use and requires only two external resistors, R2’ and R2” (R2= R2’+ R2”) to set the output voltage. Furthermore, both line and load regulation is better than standard fixed regulators. In addition to having higher performance than fixed regulators, this device includes on-chip current limiting thermal overload protection, and safe-operating-area protection. All overload protection remains fully functional, even if the ADJUST terminal is disconnected. By connecting a fixed resistor, R1 the ADJUST and OUTPUT terminals, the LM317 can function as a precision current regulator. An optional output capacitor can be added to improve transient response. Schematic Diagram using LM317   The ADJUST terminal can be bypassed to achieve very high ripple-rejectio...

On line Ladder Program Editing for RSLogix 500

On line Ladder Program Editing for RSLogix 500 There are five basic steps in performing an edit on line.   1)   Start Edits, 2)   Make Changes, 3)   Accept edits, 4)   Test Edits, and 5) Assemble edits.   Although these steps seem very simple there are a few rules to watch out for.   You cannot expand or create a data table on line in the SLC, and you must be in program mode (or off line) to expand a data table on line in the PLC-5.   You cannot make an on line edit if the key switch is in Run Mode.   In the PLC-5, if backplane switch 8 is on, you cannot make an on line edit.     You do not need to perform an on line edit to directly change a value in the data table such as the preset of a timer or counter.   If the processor is in program mode, you do not need to test and assemble after accepting.   If the processor is in program mode, and a rung is deleted, there is no warning. Let's walk through the 5 step procedure: L...

Simple 8 Channel DTMF Link Encoder

Image
Generated millions of times every day by our telephone keypads, the eight DTMF frequencies were chosen so that the harmonics and intermodulation do not generate significant in-band signal levels. The signal is encoded as a pair of sine waves, ensuring that no frequency is a multiple of the other and the sum and difference between two frequencies does not match any single tone and that’s why DTMF sounds so ugly!T he DTMF encoder circuit show n here is based on the HT9200B tone generator device produced by Holtek and distributed by Futurlec  among others. The encoder is complemented by a decoder elsew her e in this publication. 8-Channel DTMF : Encoder Schematic The HT2900B is supplied as a nice old fashioned 14-pin device. It can be instructed by a microcontroller to generate 16 dual tones and (in serial mode only) 8 single tones from the DTMF pin output . It s 8 - pin ‘ younger brother’ the HT9200A provides a serial mode only whereas the HT9200B contains a select-able serial/parall...
