Put a Quansheng on 10m CW today! Albeit using an old Microwave Modules 2m/10m transverter. The receiver was struggling a bit, but usable. 7W out of the transverter made it to the USA.

I have just spent some time with G4JMM, measuring his (new to him) 10GHz portable transverter. All working well. I really must get my own (replacement) 10GHz transverter working.

The new SGLab 5.7 GHz transverter ready for the field and it works very well up against the Kuhne G4

QO 100 transverter bits and bobs?

24ghz preamp just arrived from PA0PLY …can now finish boxing up the 24ghz transverter

I had been having some trouble with my 70MHz transverter not working on tx or Rx with the K3. Opened the transverter and the K3 and checked.
Just installed new BNC cables freshly made by me and it springs into life.
Here's what happens to cheap pre-manufactured cables that don't work

Today’s learning points…1. check whether your transverter is set for GPS locking and 2. If you turn the RF gain pot too far your transverter will go deaf. Turning it back a little will make it spring back to life and prevent time wasted fault finding 🤣

took some poking about but I have GM1TGYs second SunSDR2 Pro recovered and working with expertsdr2.. should now be set for transverter setups now phew! #hamr

More spaghetti 🙂
My QO-100 ground station (SG-Labs transverter) had been running with two separate Leo Bodnar GPSDOs for RX and TX since I built it. I've been testing with his new 2 port unit which has far better frequency resolution. Once happy I'll rebox it.

Second time lucky! 3D printed box for four way coax relay and PTT to enable microwave band transverter switching.

Been starting to do the layout in a box for the 24ghz transverter .. KUHNE transverter and LO, DU3T LNA ,Bodnar GPS module …not sure how good the short sma to sma cables semi rigid will
Perform…but all I have available currently

Worse than that, I have the 3cm EME transverter back on the bench and just completing the missing sequencer bit.......

7W vahvistin ja 4m (70MHz) transvertteri (jossa 15W vahvistin) ovat hienoa tekniikkaa, mutta päätyvät kiertotalouteen koska luin manuaalia paremmin 😅

“i see the antenna but what other kinds of crap does it take to do this?” i hear you ask
dont worry i gotchu
Notes:
* The sequencer is so I dont blow up the input amp when I turn on the output amp
* Not pictured: Two 100Ah lipo4 batteries and my laptop that i use for signal decoding and encoding

The mixer design will use some ideas that Luis Cupido presented in Micromeet 2025 about using diode mixers and MMIC amplifiers to build a 10 GHz transverter at home at a very low cost. The total cost of the radar might be around 100-150€.

The board with the chips is a ham radio frequency converter (transverter, probably), I can't tell from where to where but possibly from 28MHz to 144MHz. The lower board is a power amplifier and possibly some changeover relays. Except… I'm a bit puzzled that it uses an RCA phono as the input jack.

👍In conjunction with the Tx converter, mine continues to be at the heart of my 10GHz transverter. Since the 1980's !!!
