The project details a DIY SWR/Wattmeter designed around an _Arduino Uno_ shield, providing capabilities to measure RF power from 2 to **200 watts** and Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) for HF amateur radio bands. This construction features a compact design, integrating the measurement circuitry directly onto a custom PCB that interfaces with the Arduino Uno microcontroller. Key components include a directional coupler for sensing forward and reflected power, precision rectifiers, and analog-to-digital conversion for processing RF signals. The Arduino firmware handles calibration, calculations, and displays the results on an integrated LCD, offering real-time feedback on antenna system performance. The design prioritizes simplicity for homebrewers. Performance specifications indicate accurate readings within the **2-200W** power range, suitable for typical QRP to medium-power HF operations. The project provides schematics and a basic overview of the software logic.

An example of how to control a Yaesu FT-817 with an Arduino to make a multi-band CW beacon.

The resource details the construction of a homebrew 50-watt FET amplifier, based on Don W6JL's _QST Homebrew contest_-winning design from 2009. It functions as an afterburner for QRP transceivers, providing a **12dB** power lift. The amplifier utilizes IRFZ24N FETs and covers the 80, 40, 30, and 20-meter bands, with the 20m LPF extending to 17m. Key technical aspects include an FT37-43 transformer for the input network, a relay-switched 3dB pad for lower bands controlled by an _Arduino Nano_, and an RF-actuated T/R switch. The LPF board integrates four relay-switched filters rated for 50 watts, using capacitors with a minimum 250VDC rating. Performance measurements indicate a power gain ranging from **4.4dB** on 20m to 8.1dB on 80m, with a required drive power of approximately 5 watts. The article also discusses thermal management, current limiting considerations, and component sourcing.

An Arduino based CW contest keyer addon, ideated and designed for the use in conbination with the K3NG Arduino keyer open-source firmware.

A system designed to automatically tune small transmitting magnetic loop antennas, particularly beneficial for **contest operations** where rapid frequency changes are common. The core of the system involves a PC-based control application, AutoCap, written in C#, which monitors antenna SWR via an external meter and commands a motor interface to adjust the loop's variable capacitor. The software is compatible with Windows and Linux via the Mono framework, offering a graphical user interface for monitoring system status, SWR, power, and motor commands. Key components include one or more magnetic loop antennas equipped with DC or stepper motors for capacitor adjustment, an SWR meter with data output (such as the Telepost LP-100A or a homebrew serial/USB SWR meter), the AutoCap PC software, and a motor interface. The most effective motor interface utilizes an **Arduino-based controller** with custom firmware, providing precise control over both simple DC motors and stepper motors, and supporting features like motor braking for finer adjustments. The system allows for configurable SWR thresholds, pulse widths, and motor effort settings to optimize tuning speed and resolution. Optional radio integration provides frequency hints, enabling the algorithm to learn the relationship between motor actions and resonant frequency, thereby speeding up initial tuning responses. The software also supports antenna profiles, allowing operators to save and recall specific configurations for different loops, including accumulated frequency hint data.
