Re: ICOM PW1 CIV with ANAN 7000DLE MKII
I have developed a small board for the conversion from BCD to IC-PW1, the PW1 works only via CIV for the band switching.

Re: Changing Voltmeter
Hello Richie,
would it be possible to activate the voltage and ampere display for all radios if you want to, like on the Anan 7000 or does this function already exist?

The rest is still in developm...

Re: ORION MK2 IMD3/5
Kjell, you are of course right, it is 18db gain, I had already changed it today at noon. to your test, have you measured a test board with the Gali51+? so in pushpull, I'm interested in the results of that. To the transverter, you could feed back the IF signal by PAD, on mine the transverter output ...

Re: ORION MK2 IMD3/5
the GALI51+ have 18-20db gain in the HF range, so the signal must be at most -10dbm to reach the 1db compression point. Assuming that the DAC brings 0-3dbm level, you need round a 10db ATT PAD between DAC and MMIC amplifier if you don't want to push the Step ATT to the limit. So you have about +8dbm...

Thank you very much for all the replies. the attenuator must be about 5-6db As long as PD is not in the HW, the goal for me is to have a clean RF chain, intentionally "mismatching" a stage is a very poor solution and has the charm of tinkering, the clean solution would be a fixed ATT at th...

I think that you will end up with 70-80€ per front panel from Schaeffer, PCB from Fischer cost arount 40€/piece with production of three PCB´s or 22€/piece for production of ten
