Hello Artur,
interesting thing with the prefabricated modules.Do you already have an overall concept for the TRV?

Nice straight forward concept, thanks for sharing.
Can PD85004 deliver this amount of power at 2G4?
It is not specified for the frequency or is it a package dummy only?

Was kostet so ein Modul fertig????

Title: Re:New TRV using ready module
Post by: Michael_K on 05. April 2020, 12:23:48

Hallo Oliver,
als fertigbaugruppe wird es den TRV von Artur wohl nicht geben - analog zu ersten TRV.
Das 4351-Modul kosten bei eBay zwischen 18 und 25€, je nach Lieferanten.
Die unbestückte PCB und das Gehäuse wird's wohl von Artur geben.
Die restlichen Bauteile sind "Selbstbeschaffung"
Für den ersten TRV (Input 14MHz) sind bei mir Kosten etwas unter 180,-€ angefallen.
Soweit als Info für Dich. Für absolute Richtigkeit garantiere ich nicht.

Michael - Du scheiterst an der Lokalisierung. Auch Aliexpress zeigt je nach IP-Adresse (bzw. Land aus dem diese kommt) etwas anderes an.

Tipp:
Benutze das TOR-Netzwerk und schalte ggf. auf einen neuen TOR-Exit-Node um. Der Brave-Browser kann das out-of-the-box. Gibt es für Linux und für Windows - ist seit 1 Jahr mein Lieblingsbrowser (blink-basiert).

Ich habe festgestellt, das wir aneinander vorbei schreiben - ich hatte was vom Mixer (ADE-25MH vs. ADE-25MH+) geschrieben, Artur jedoch vom OCXO. Ich werde den OCXO bei Mouser bestellen, ich habe irgendwie kein gutes Gefühl bei den Teilen von Aliexpress.
Oder könnt Ihr mir diese Bedenken zerstreuen ?

Ich hatte bei Ali auch nur den Link aufgerufen, über die Suche hatte ich es noch garnicht probiert - damit hätte ich es sicherlich gefunden.

Title: Re:New TRV using ready module
Post by: DF8OE on 10. May 2020, 11:16:24

Jein.

Ich bestelle sehr viel in CN - wegen meines Reparaturbetriebes. Vieles bekommt man gar nicht anders. Häufig bestelle ich über ebay - nicht über aliexpress. Ich habe seit 12 Monaten bei 5...10 Bestellungen pro Monat von chinesischen Händlern noch keinen einzigen Ausfall gehabt. Bei meiner letzten Bestellung via alibaba (da hatte ich 10 AD9363 bestellt) war auch kein Ausfall. Den letzten Fake-MOSFET habe ich von einem italienischen Händler bekommen, der wiederum auf einen chinesischen Händler zurückzuführen war.

Fakt ist:
Bei Digikey, Mouse und Farnell ist sowas überhaupt kein Thema. Leider haben die nur 30% der Teile, die ich brauche.

EDIT:
Meine Vermutung ist, dass durch das Bewertungssystem von ebay Händler, die nicht liefern oder Fakes liefern, sehr schnell auffallen und dann bei ebay wieder verschwinden. Deswegen würde ich es nicht davon abhängig machen, aus welchem Land der Händler kommt, sondern davon welche Handelsplattform man benutzt und wie gut diese die Handelspartner absichert.

I never was fooled with the intention to do so. You have to communicate f something went wrong.

I do not agree that the virus escaped from a laboratory. Of course I do not know - but thinking so is a bit too much conspiration. Of course the Chinese politicians have to open up, tolerate free journalism and go straight forward to much more democratic behaviour.

Post by: DL2GMI - Michael (H44MI) on 15. May 2020, 13:23:44

Artur, some questions:

I have the PCB ver 1.1.

1) In the shematic i can see 8 Resistors with 430Ohms, on different Pictures of ready installed TRV i can see Resistors with 471 printed on, what should mean 470 Ohms. Which value would be the right one ?

2) My 2 adjustable 10k-Potentiometers looks different from yours. Does it any matter ?

3) I only can find the Relay for T/R-Switching at Ali, but i also found a Relay "HFD 3-005" at my parts distributor: https://www.reichelt.de/signalrelais-5v-2-wechsler-2a-rt-iii-hfd3-005-p126990.html?&nbc=1 (https://www.reichelt.de/signalrelais-5v-2-wechsler-2a-rt-iii-hfd3-005-p126990.html?&nbc=1)
Would this relay also will be OK ?

4) What is the best frequency stability? OCXO, TCXO, VCTCXO for this project ?
Would be the OCXO from Mouser https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/abracon/aoc2012vajc-250000c/?qs=vLWxofP3U2yBi82MYydb0w==&countrycode=DE&currencycode=EUR (https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/abracon/aoc2012vajc-250000c/?qs=vLWxofP3U2yBi82MYydb0w==&countrycode=DE&currencycode=EUR) good enough ?

Thanks...

1) i have ordered 430 Ohms 1 W
2) ok
3) Ok, then Aliexpress...
4) Ok, what would the best solution ?
Or, if i use the Mouser-OCXO, there is an 3V3 regulator, as i can see in the shematic.
Or which VCTCXO should i use ?

EDIT: The OCXO is around 6€ higher in price than the VCTCXO, i think i´ll order the OXCO.

one more question again:
The OCXO from Mouser (Datasheet https://www.mouser.de/datasheet/2/3/AOC2012-Series-1545756.pdf (https://www.mouser.de/datasheet/2/3/AOC2012-Series-1545756.pdf) has a power consumption at startup around 720mA, but the LP2985 3V3 can only deliver 150mA with a maximum at 350mA.
Can this work ?

And, is the SMD-mountd OCXO really connectet to the 3V3 line, not to the +6V or +5V line ?

One more: Do you have a drawing of the heat sink for this Transverter? I have contact to a metal construction company, they will make me a new heat sink because the heat sink from the Transverter 1 is bigger than for Transverter 2 and only has two holes for screws.

Actually i wait for the 3V3 VCTCXO from Aliexpress you´ve mentioned here: VCTCXO generator 0.5ppm 2.00 $: https://aliexpress.com/item/33013343039.html (https://aliexpress.com/item/33013343039.html).

Hallo OMs,
heute mal kein technisches Problem.
Artur hat ja die Entwicklung des Projektes bis zur V1.6 vorangebracht. Die diesbezügliche PCB und weitere Teile sind bei ihm erhältlich (mit der Lieferung zur V1.2 sehr gute Erfahrungen).
Wenn auch das ADF-Board trotz Nutzung eines programmierten ATTINY von Artur noch nicht läuft, andere Baugruppen funktionieren gut, habe ich die V1.6 bestellt.

Vielleicht geben sich andere OMs mal einen Ruck und "outen sich", wenn sie sich auch mit diesem Projekt beschäftigen.
Da könnten wir in Erfahrungsaustausch treten (mit DL2GMI klappt das schon hervorragend), Fragen sammeln und so ein positives Gesamtergebnis für alle erreichen.

While preparing the BOM to order some missing parts for my next try to Build the TRV2, i´ve collected some questions:
1) I Have problems to find the Coils 18n and 7n5 in size 1008 - can you tell me a company who can deliver those? I´ve looked at Digikey, Mouser and Reichelt
2) The Diode BAT54S/A: Which type is the correct one - in the shematic it is a BAT54S, in the BOM a BAT54A ? I think BAT54S is correct ?
3) Which type of BC847 we´ll need - BC847A, B or C ? I have one C-type here.
4) Do you have a shematic and Bom for your own ADF-Board ?
5) Do you bought the LED at KAMAMI.pl ?
6) For example, is this Coil correct: Mouser 710-744762212A for 120nH ?

two more questions. Sorry for that, but the project makes big steps at the moment :-)

1) I have decided to use the Mouser VCOCXO (815-AOC2112VAJC-25C), i hope this is better than the TCXO from Aliexpress and the right decision. Do you agree ?

the AG303-86 is not longer available. The new one is the AG303-63 with new footprint and size.

The Building of the TRV2 with PCB 1.6 is nearly finished, except some Coils with special Values and the AG303 - my special thanks goes to Michael_K who has send me one.

Now i make the BOM for the additional ADF-Board. Please check the attached BOM and tell me the mistakes.

And, can you please attach a Placement plan of the parts ? The assembly imprint is not readable (SMD size 0603...).

Connect a 10K resistor with + 5V to the point on the photo. The LED should light up.

I have the same problem as Michael_K. I have the BAT54S installed, the imprint is "KL 4"
The TX/RX-Switching is not working. With the resistor described as in the Photo the Red LED light up.
Where can i search the issue ?

And the second one...

Additional to the problem with the malfunction of tx/rx-switching, that we try to clear by E-mail, i have one more question about the ADF-Board:
On the PCB and in the circuit-diagram the LED is connected by a 2K-resistor to PIN 30 of the ADF4350.

In the Datasheet, the PIN 30 ist MUXOUT and i think the LED should be connected to PIN 25 - LD (Lock detect). Right ?

Hi Artur,

i just wan´t to give you a positive feedback:
My transverter is running fine and i had already my first QSO over QO-100.

Now, i have some questions:
1) Some Ham-Radio frieds of me are also interested in this TRV, but aren´t able to solder SMD and like this. Can we order ready installed Modules by you ?
2) Do you have further developed the transverter and which is the actual PCB-Revision ?
Because: when 1) is not possible, i think about to order some PCB and Cases and so on by you an give them to a company to soldering it.


Kind regards,

Michael

Artur,

I still have a set v1.2. You recommend to use it or are there too many modifications?

Hi Artur,

I'm thinking of building your transverter to add to my Eagle.
I have looked at the schematic and some questions :

- Your PTT is controlled by the incomming signal, which is passed thru an attenuator.
But in the first time - before the relais switched - the input signal from the transceiver is
feeded to the LC and the 50 R at the mixer. The relais is specified with 3ms switching time...
Have you measured the switching time of your circuit?

- You have added a DC bias to the POTY output. I think it is to activate your 20W amplifier.
Most users will not need it.

- There are no remarks on the used caps in the BOM. Most of the caps in the signal path have to be ATC types.

- Do you reach the drive level of the mixer? It is a level13 mixer.

Do you think about a next version of the Transverter ? Maybe with a little bit more output (for example 3-4W) ?
With the Helix and the 2-2,5W the signal ist one of the weekest signals at the QO100-Transponder...

I want to tune 2m from 144.5 to 145.0.

2255.5 MHz
595 MHz

Did anybody apply appropriate changes to the 2m section in the code?

...before I dig into the data sheet ....

I answer myself :-)
There is a SW for the Eval-Board... the register values are computed from output frequency.
Here are the values:

//PLL configuration
#define FREQ1 2255500      // kHz - F1 (used by default)
#define FREQ2 595000      // kHz - F2 (configure S1 = ON and S2 = OFF)
#define FREQ3 1960500      // kHz - F3 (configure S1 = OFF and S2 = ON)
#define FREQ4 300000      // kHz - F4 (configure S1 = ON and 22S2 = ON)

#define ADF4351_INT_F1 90
#define ADF4351_FRAC_F1 11
#define ADF4351_MODULUS_F1 50

#define ADF4351_INT_F2 95
#define ADF4351_FRAC_F2 1
#define ADF4351_MODULUS_F2 5


Tnx, Frank
