  • In this video I debut my AOE Monster 40. A 40m VXO controlled 7 Mhz (40m) transceiver with dual capacitors, one for transmit and the other for receive. As good as a KX2 …. NO!!!! 🤪😝😝😝😂.

    I love the idea of being able to vary the offset and to work split. Good job. Kb9ghn, Victor.

      Thanks .....It is a bit of a mish mash and a bit deaf...but I have worked some QSO's in OZ and has been a lot of fun! Thanks for the comment 73 de VK2AOE George

    Do you have a schematic of your buffer stage? I have a complete homebrew superhet and now I’m trying to get it as a working CW transceiver.

      Me again... I have been very organic in my approach so schematic is problematic for the monster....pretty sure it is a bog standard VXO colpitts stage 1 and npn transistor keyed buffer. I think it is built like the Swedish Pixie in the Pixie files link below - Find the "Swedish Pixie" I only used the xmit stage as the rcvr was problematic for me.

      I then up the power with a BD139 stage care of Peter Parker gets me 1.5-2 watts. go to 14 mins 27 secs video link belowfor cct.

      All very basic stuff but it works for me for sh#$%ts and giggles!
      Hope this helps....happy homebrewing! I just spent 2 days building a QMX mini from QRP Labs and it is D.O.A :((((.
