my SDR qrp FA-Line
10W all band transceiver
 |
 |
The FA Line includes 3 boxes : the SV1EIA usb sound card USB2SDR, a special card made to optimize SDR performances, the FA-SDR rf hardware and a 10W amplifier qrppa2008 with its filters.
| USB2SDR :
the USB2SDR card is installed inside a Teko Tekam 33.9 aluminium box ( this box accepts a 102 mm wide pcb ) (ordered from Electronic diffusion in France) At the back are the I/Q in and out cables and the usb link to the computer. On the front, we find the headphone plugs, a microphone plug and a PTT push button. See the yahoo group about this unit and the software modified by Christos to run this card with most of the SDR hardwares. |

| AMPLIFIER : 10W amplifier may be bought as a kit from DL2FI on QRPproject http://www.qrpproject.de/UK/qrppa2008.html - easy to build and tune, it will work at first start. The filter pcb is from the same source, to which I have added a 30 Mhz low pass filter as the kit has no filtering over 14Mhz band. The box has been ordered to the supplier of the FA-SDR kit. ( Fischer Elektronik GmbH & Co. KG) ref FR120-42-160-ME-SO for 18 E. |
