This page is for the documentation of projects that I'm working on.

Current projects include (but are not limited to:)

GPS readout using Arduino and M6 GPS module.
Capacitor PC boards for the Kenwood TS-520 series tranceivers.
Rebuild of tribander YAGI
Portable 20Meter Vertical antenna
Digital readout for Ten Tec Model 520 Century 21
No transmit tunning of tube-type transmitters using noise bridge jig
Arduino CTCS tone encoder for older 2 Meter rigs
Arduino CW Keyer based on the one radioartisan has designed and made public

Affordable GPS Kit $25

GPS using Arduino was originally just for fun, now it is a plan to get local club members soldering.

This weekend, the 24th of July, we will be having a put together offering five of the kits for assembly on site. Soldering irons will be provided along with safety glasses and hand tools.

Capacitor Replacements in TS-520

The capacitor boards for TS-520 series transcievers - this project was out of lazyness - I have several of these radios that needed the electolytic capacitors replaced. With the new formfactors being quite smaller than the originals, a shortcut to mounting PC bord style caps was needed. Well why not take advantage of the PCboard mounting posts and just design some PC's to hold them and make the high voltage connections?

Here are a few pictures of that result.

In the set

I''m still working on the rest of the projects and have made much progress, I will have pictures of the vertical for 20 meters soon.
