• FunCube Dongle HF Upconverter: Expanding Reception Range  ^new - This article describes an HF upconverter for the FunCube Dongle Pro. Designed for radio amateurs, the converter extends reception capabilities to lower frequencies (0 Hz to 30 MHz) by mixing them with a higher oscillator frequency (100 MHz). This translates the desired signal into a range detectable by the FunCube Dongle (64 to 1,700 MHz). Key components include a double-balanced mixer and a low-pass filter to suppress unwanted signals. The project provides schematics, filter specifications, and design considerations for construction.

• Stingray Marine Transceiver - Recently, at the Ballarat Hamfest, the author acquired an old Marine transceiver for just $10, charmed by its sturdy construction and waterproofing. Made by Findlay Communications in Sydney, this crystal-controlled transceiver had been dormant but was reinvigorated with minor fixes. A manual was sourced, and further repairs were made, including an ingenious crystal oscillator replacement using an Si5351a controlled by an Arduino. The refurbished radio, complete with a fresh coat of paint and added customizations, is now operational for 160m AM and 30m SSB. A successful and cost-effective restoration.

• Morse Code Practice Oscillator - In this project, we blend old school and new school tech to create a Morse code oscillator that you can use to practice keying Morse code. We start by milling out a double-sided board on the Bantam Tools Desktop PCB Milling Machine, then we solder on a series of components, and finally test our skills of yesteryear communication

• A Simple Spectrum Analyzer - This is a swept-filter spectrum analyzer. Basically, RF and swept oscillator signals are fed to a mixer and the output of the mixer is passed through a highly selective crystal filter.

• An introduction to YIG Tuned Oscillators - The YIG Tuned Oscillator (YTO) is the only direct signal source to provide multi octave tuning bandwidths in excess of 10 GHz. Common tuning ranges are from 2-10 GHz, 8-18 GHz and 10-20 GHz. YTO is are also known for their superior phase noise and exceptional tuning linearity.

• 2m to 70cm Transverter Circuit - A 70cm / 432 MHz Transverter Project transverter circuit is an electronic device that converts a radio signal from the 2 meter to the 70 centimeter band and vice versa, allowing a single transmitter/receiver to be used for both bands. It consists of an IF stage, local oscillator, frequency multiplier, and amplifier. The circuit must be designed for minimal signal loss, noise and intermodulation distortion.
