Four state-of-the-art transverters are included in Elecraft's new XV Series: the XV50 (6 Meters), XV144 (2 Meters), XV222 (222 MHz) and XV432 (432 MHz). The transverters can be used with nearly any transceiver that covers the 28 to 30 MHz frequency range

This week, we've pulled together a few items that touch on both the experimental and the practical sides of our hobby. There's a look at an interesting open-source SDR project, the LinHT An Experimental Linux-Based Software-Defined Handheld Radio, which pushes the boundaries of what a handheld can do, especially for those keen on digital voice and custom platforms. We also found a clever QRP tuner design, the Pi-Tee QRP antenna tuner, that offers a lot of versatility in a small package, something always useful for portable operations or even a compact home station. For those working the higher bands, a detailed guide on building a 70 cm repeater antenna is included, which could be a good weekend project. And for anyone still finding their footing with digital voice modes, EvoHam - Simplifying Digital Voice for Every Ham provides a solid resource. Finally, a handy ADIF log analyzer, Amateur Radio Logbook Adif File Analyzer, is worth a look for anyone wanting to visualize their operating patterns.
