Projects

One of the aspects of amateur radio I enjoy greatly is building kits and homebrew equipment. In college I got an EE degree, but have never worked as an EE so amateur radio gives me a chance to try out some of the stuff I learned in college.

The picture shows my electronics work bench. I've accumulated a bunch of test equipment at various surplus sales and have managed to put together a pretty good setup for building and experimenting with radio.
Some of the projects I've built are:

W2FS KISS Mode TNC
VA3TO Linking Board
RF Probe
Universal Audio Breakout Box
HF Packer Amplifier
Pic Elmer 160 PIC Board
NJQRP DDS Daughter Card
WM-2 QRP Watt meter
MPX 96 Stereo FM Transmitter
IR Remote Control Xceiver for a PC
Soft Rock 40 Software Defined Radio
Computer tuning control for a Hamtronics R139 Weather Fax Receiver
Fun with an HP 8590B Spectrum Analyzer

Over time I'll update this page with some details on these projects.
