EGV-9B 9-Band CW QRP Transceiver

GENERAL:

Frequency coverage: 80-60-40-30-20-17-15-12-10m

Note: You can tune below and above the bands (from 3 to 30MHz) but downgrading the characteristics

Tuning steps on two ranges: 10Hz-100Hz-1kHz and 10kHz-100kHz-1MHz.

Modes: CW.

RIT function: Without frequency limit

Power requirements: 10–14VDC, 1–2A transmit, 0.15–0.25A receive.

Antenna impedance: 50 ohms nominal.

Controls: Tuning with pushbutton. Band-pass adjust. Volume. RF attenuator. UP-DOWN band switches.

Board dimensions: 180 x 140 mm.

Weight: (no enclosure): 0.35 kg.

TRANSMITTER:

Mode: CW (direct frequency, without heterodyning or mixing)

RF output: 3 to 6W @13.8V (depends on band)

Output TX Amp: C class amplifier.

Harmonics output: -45dBc or better below the fundamental frequency (1).

Other spurious signals: -50dBc or better below the fundamental frequency.

T/R switching: Relays

Keyer: Automatic keyer/beacon KB-2 chip included.

(1) 60 and 17m band: The harmonics attenuation signals are not so good.

RECEIVER:

Type: Superheterodyne. Balanced mixers.

Sensitivity: 0.4uV minimum discernible signal average (according band).

Selectivity: 3-pole crystal ladder filter, 800Hz nominal bandwidth.

IF frequency: 4.915MHz.

AGC: acts on the receive path according to the received audio level.

Audio output: 250mW, 4-8 ohms for speaker.

Individual adjustment for headphones and sidetone.

Note: A good experience on radio assembly is recommended.
