LTSpice Simulation of Q4 in 8640Jr Signal Generator

 

LTSpice Simulation of Q4 in 8640Jr Signal Generator

Filed in homebrew on Apr.08, 2012

Here is a video demonstrating the building and simulation of the buffer amplifier preceding the divider chain in the 8640Jr Signal Generator.

It is a simple emitter follower stage, but is useful for showing how to place components and run the simulation in LTSpice.

The Group build can be followed at the QRP-Tech Yahoogroup.

The circuit description can be found on Wes Hayward W7ZOI.net site:

    Trying to find the 8640jr pdf.seems wes took all his info down off his site.do you know of a place to download it.would love to build this signal generator..

    Thanks David

Building the W8NX Short Trap Dipole

  Building the W8NX Short Trap Dipole Filed in Antennas on May.31, 2021 For the past five years, I have been operating the lower bands (30, 40 and 80 meters) with a trap dipole that was modeled after a web article written by John DeGood NU3E. [1] While the antenna performed well, a monsoon storm last summer beat it up enough that the antenna wire broke at the center balun. So I climbed the tower and lowered the remains of the antenna to the ground for repairs. On closer examination, I discovered that the relentless Arizona sun had taken its toll on the traps. The insulation on the exposed ends of the coax had rotted away. They were still working, but would need to be rebuilt and weatherized to insure good operation many years into the future. Since I was going to have to rebuild the antenna, I started thinking about whether this antenna met my current needs and wishes. I had been wanting to get on 160 meters at this QTH for some time, but my small back yard w...

Yaesu G-450XL Rotator Repair

  Yaesu G-450XL Rotator Repair Filed in Antennas on Dec.30, 2007 In December of 2007, the rope support for the center element of my Cushcraft A3 broke, requiring me to climb the tower and bring the beam down for maintenance.  At the same time, at had been noticing that the rotator control was not indicating correctly, it was very erratic.  So I brought the rotator down for maintenance, as well. The first step was to mark the side of the case, where the top and bottom of the clam shells connected together.  This would allow me to assemble it in the correct alignment when the time came.   Marked Case of Rotator Next, I took the top cover off.  All of the bearings between the clam shells in the depression on the outside were safely stored.   Top Removed A little inspection revealed what the problem was.  The center gear had broken away from the shaft it was pressed onto.  I tried re-pressing it back onto the shaft, but it was to...

Kenwood TS-790A Light Replacement

Image
 I noticed a while back that my TS-790 meter displays had gone dim.  While I had the radio opened up to adjust the master clock. I decided to replace the burnt out incandescent lights with new white led lights. I neglected to take any pictures until after the work was done, but this will show where the lights are located, and which led bulbs I used to replace them. To access the 3 bulbs for replacement, I removed the top cover.  This and the bottom cover had already been removed in a prior repair in my case.  So I don't know if the bottom cover needs to come off or not. There are two screws on each side of the front faceplate.  I removed the top screw and loosened the bottom screw to allow the faceplate to tilt forward off the edge of the bench.   Faceplate Screws   Be careful when tipping the faceplate forward.  I managed to break one wire out of a connector on the bottom right side.  I was able to reattach the wire with the faceplate open....
