QO-100 and cheap PLL LNB SHARP bs1k2el200a

It works:
QO100 @ SHARP bs1k2el200a + 40cm offset dish + rtl-sdr

I was trying to make signal more stable, so I used AD9854 DDS + 10MHz OCXO. I replaced quartz with small transformer to make symmetrical signal. And this works ok.
Then i tried to feed it with 25788589.743 Hz to make QO's transponder available on 432MHz band. This works too, but SNR suffers about 10 dB loss :(

SQ Lab Transverter 1296MHz sequence timings

Some tests taken today. NOTE: tests were made with jumper 4 ON (rf vox activated)! NOTE2: RF OUT signal is taken from FWD pin of swr connector.

1.7ms from PTT in via coax to PTT out in 3.5mm jack socket
26ms from PTTout to RF signal at output
450ms from end of PTT signal at coax input to end of PTTout signal at 3.5mm jack

GPS wewnątrz radia Kenwood TH-D7 | GPS inside Kenwood TH-D7


Użyłem modułu GPS oznaczonego jako: GPS-GMM-R1. Prawie na pewno każdy moduł GPS który startuje w trybie 9600 bodów NMEA się nada.

Cold Start TTF: 1.5-2 minutes. Hot Start: 20 seconds.
