The Yaesu VL-1000 Quadra HF Linear amplifier

A 144 MHz kilowatt amplifier project details the construction and performance of a high-power VHF linear using the GU74b tetrode. This Russian tube, equivalent to the Svetlana 4CX800, is noted for its conservative datasheet ratings, performing closer to 800-1000W anode dissipation in practical applications. The design prioritizes compactness and achieves 1.2 kW output with only 20W of drive power, demonstrating a 70% efficiency at 2.5 kV plate voltage. The amplifier has been successfully deployed in demanding _EME_ (Earth-Moon-Earth) operations since June 1994. Challenges encountered during development included achieving stability with a grid-1 input configuration. The author, _CT1DMK_, opted not to publish the full design due to its complexity, suggesting it might be difficult for less experienced builders to replicate successfully. However, he invites direct contact for those with specific interest in the design. Future plans include a "144MHz GS35b compact amplifier" project, promising another kilowatt-plus design. This resource offers insights into high-power VHF amplifier construction and the practical application of specific power tubes.

A 90-foot vertical antenna constructed from **aluminum irrigation tubing** is detailed, focusing on its innovative raising and lowering mechanism. The resource describes a **45-foot ginpole** system, allowing a single operator to erect or lower the antenna in minutes. It covers the mechanical design, including the pivot base, insulated joints for the tubing sections, and guy wire attachment points. The antenna consists of two 30-foot sections of 4-inch tubing and one 30-foot section of 2-inch tubing, stacked with the smaller diameter at the top. The electrical design incorporates PVC "condulet" boxes at the 30-foot and 60-foot points, housing relays to change the effective height for multi-band operation on 160, 80, 40, and 30 meters. Ferrite rod inductive chokes are used for DC control and to tune out gap capacitance. The antenna is fed with 1000 feet of open wire line, connected to a matching transformer comprising stacked toroids and a coaxial/toroidal balun. Grounding is achieved with a 3x3 foot grid of 16-gauge tinned copper wires with soldered crossovers.

MS Word document with FT-1000 S meter characteristics

Demonstrates how to construct an automatic band decoder, moving beyond manual selector switches for antenna and filter control. It addresses the challenge of varying band data outputs from different transceivers: Icom rigs provide voltage values, Yaesu rigs use Binary Coded Decimal (BCD), and Kenwood rigs lack direct band data output. The resource highlights a clever solution utilizing logging software like _CT (K1EA)_ and _DX4WIN_ to emulate Yaesu's BCD output via a PC's printer port, making the decoder compatible with any rig. The author details experiences building decoders based on designs by Bob _K6XX_ and Guy _ON4AOI_, noting K6XX's simple TTL chip design and ON4AOI's more comprehensive, opto-isolated unit capable of controlling ten outputs and bandpass filters like the _Dunestar_. It also references a _W9XT_ board design, which Steve Wilson, G3VMW, modified with BD140 transistors for source drivers, emphasizing safety. The author successfully cased an ON4AOI-based decoder in an old modem case, connecting it to an FT1000MP or a PC printer port to drive remote relays and a Dunestar Band Pass Filter.

The Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark-V, introduced at Dayton 2000 Hamvention, features a higher RF power of **200 W PEP** and a Class-A amplification SSB mode at 75 W. Key enhancements include an _Interlocked Digital/Analog Bandwidth Tracking system (IDBT)_, a Variable Front-End Filter (VRF) preselector, and improved ergonomics, notably a multi-function shuttle jog dial. This model, a successor to the 1996 FT-1000 and FT-1000MP, was designed to compete with high-end transceivers, despite its retail price of $4200 initially. The transceiver's physical dimensions are 406 x 135 x 348 mm (16 x 5.3 x 13.7 inches) with a weight of 14 kg (31 lbs), making it substantial. Its rear panel offers over 20 connections, including power, external DSP speaker, BAND DATA I/O, ALC, and multiple interface jacks for DVS-2, Packet, and RTTY. The unit also provides two keyer inputs, a DB9M serial interface for CAT, and two PL female antenna connectors, plus additional receive antenna jacks. Despite its advanced internal architecture, including two independent receivers with their own IF filters and AGC loops, the display technology, utilizing fluorescent discharge rather than LCD, contributes to an older aesthetic. The control panel is extensive, featuring 92 knobs and buttons, alongside numerous LED indicators for various modes and functions.

Constructing a high-performance RF spectrum analyzer up to 1000 MHz requires careful attention to component selection, shielding, and circuit isolation. This resource details a project that improves upon the _Spectrum Analyzer for the Radio Amateur_ design by Wes Hayward (W7ZOI) and Terry White (K7TAU), incorporating ideas from Scotty Sprowls' project, particularly his 1013.3 MHz IF bandpass cavity filter. The analyzer utilizes a Mini-Circuits SRA-11 mixer with a sweeping local oscillator from 1013 to 2013 MHz, feeding into a 4-pole copper pipe cavity filter. The design employs a second SRA-11 mixer with a fixed 1024 MHz LO to produce a 10.7 MHz final IF. This signal then passes through narrowband resolution filters and is processed by Analog Devices AD603 and AD8307 ICs for IF amplification and logarithmic detection, driving an oscilloscope in X/Y mode. The project emphasizes modular construction, using salvaged components and double-sided FR4 material for PCBs, with critical notes on minimizing spurious images through effective shielding and proper voltage regulation for each module. Key components include a Z-Communications V585ME48 VCO for the first LO and a Z-Comm V583ME01 VCO controlled by a Motorola MC145151 PLL for the second LO. An optional Hittite HMC307 step attenuator and K&L 5L121-1000/T5000-O/O low-pass filter manage RF input. Tuning procedures for the 10.7 MHz IF resolution filter are also detailed, showing before-and-after spectrum views.

Constructing a basic multimeter involves integrating a 0-1mA meter movement with various shunts and multipliers, selected via a switch, to create a versatile instrument capable of measuring DC volts, current, and resistance. The design outlines two main units: a primary unit handling six DC current ranges up to 1 amp and eight DC voltage ranges up to 1000 volts, alongside an internal battery for an ohms range up to 200,000 ohms. This approach allows for a practical, hands-on understanding of meter operation. An add-on unit further extends the multimeter's capabilities, incorporating a meter rectifier and switched series resistors to provide four AC voltage ranges up to 100 volts. Additional shunt and series resistors, designated Ra and Rb, are included to expand the instrument's range to 10A and 5kV, demonstrating how modular design can enhance functionality. When this add-on is in use, the main instrument is set to measure 1mA FSD, connecting via specific lugs. Component selection emphasizes precision, with 1% tolerance high stability resistors for series elements and Eureka resistance wire for shunts. The design specifies values calculated for a meter with 60 ohms internal resistance, noting that these would require modification for different meter characteristics. Experimental adjustment of shunt values is recommended to ensure accurate readings against a calibrated reference meter, reinforcing practical calibration techniques.
