Hi paul, i love manhatton style building, for me its the best way to go, built many projects that way, brilliant work you have done and scratch built the MST3? WOW very impressive, i bought the MDT, and the MST3 from leon, both kits are very good well designed and proven reliability, i have not built the MST3 yet but it will be started shortly?...... keep going its a hobby thats most enjoyable. best regards
@@peterarmitage5357 Hi Peter, yes I agree that Manhattan construction is the best way for scratch builders. I think of this as radio craft, its like craft of old, every piece a one off, hand made, adjusted to fit your needs and purposes. Others do kicad models and get 10 boards from a Chinese PCB factory. I can't modify a Chinese PCB like I can a piece of etched copper board. Chinese PCBs are fine if you want to make 10 identical.modules. But I build for myself, not to run a kit business. And every time I build a module that I've built before, something about it is different! 73 Paul VK3HN.
@@peterarmitage5357 Perhaps it's art, if so an arcane one. I prefer 'craft', it's less pretentious, more earthy, and more honest! Truth to the Materials!
hello VK3HN I'm sorry if I want to ask a question I'm in doubt I wanted to set up your project that is very cool and I intend to use it on a receiver with TDA1072 to use it as QRP, but I'm having trouble transferring the file to arduino I'm a layman with arduino, one appeared ('s_meter10x15' was not declared in this scope) and I don't know what else to do to solve it, could you explain? strong 73! of PU7RNP! :D
Hi OM Nailson, The s meter font needs to be manually added to the fonts header for the SSD1306 ascii library. This page on the repo wiki should take you through the steps. Read this page, and the font install page is linked. github.com/prt459/Arduino_si5351_VFO_Controller_Keyer/wiki Let me know how you go.
hello @@Paul_VK3HN de PU7RNP FRT 73!, good afternoon! yes now it worked!! but I didn't include the (SSD1306Ascii_fonts.h) but I found it (allFonts.h) and that's what I added, and then I started the operation of the Display and other functions, thank you your extrusions were very good to achieve and now I'll start assembling my TRX , thank you your project is wonderful and fix it will help many who like to build their own QRP's 🙌😃
Hi Hernan. I assume you want to connect an si5351 clock used as a local oscillator of VFO to a TA2003, an old Toshiba AM/FM receiver back end IC. I assume you have a schematic you are following, and you wish to disable the TA2003 internal oscillator and use an external PLL or DDS. The best way is to read the TA2003 datasheet and work out what the recommended external oscillator injection level is. Then attenuate your PLL or DDS signal to that level. An experimental way might be to start with a small series capacitor, say 10pF, that should give enough injection to get some AM detection, depending on what frequency you are operating at. You could increase the capacitance up to the point of distortion or to where the receiver gain increase stops. This seems like a crude but sensible approach. 73 Paul VK3HN.
Do these or others work on AM mode for CB radios? If so, is there somewhere I can purchase them ready for installation and operation? No one gives any complete information.
Yes, this project was last year, it sits on the front of my latest portable txcvr (Summit Prowler VI, from earlier this year). Still melting solder, been working on a superhet receiver lately, with 8 bands, and an AM detector only (no product detector), it is sounding quite good, I will bring it on Saturday, if I can get there!
Impressive rig.
Bravo!!!
🤓
Loving your work Paul! Looking forward to seeing where this takes you.
Good on you Martin. Its fun to share. Whether it be compact QRP or 19" rack mounted QRO AM. Cheers!

fantastic work very well done too, nice to see it working so well, sounds great, soft ware defind is a good way to go, enjoyed the video.
Tnx Peter, its a digital control unit, the oscillators are si5351 PLL, the rest of the rig is analogue. See the other video for Summit Prowler 6 😀

your work is an art, very well done more people should maybe consider doing it too.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Selamat sore..saya mencoba membuat
Good luck, there are lots of designs for si5351 and ATMega328 microcontrollers.
very nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
Sorry for asking, but I did not find the source code, could you tell from where you got it? Thank you.

It's bloody fantastic!
hello how conect the DDs to local oscilator of TA2003 . Please Help me . what level ???my fear is destroy the ta 2003

Very nice..dds vfo...can you share file hex or skecth...

its great vfo..paul
but smeter not work,it can read signal
can you tell what is false
thanks ..paul 73

See my blog. Google VK3HN.
Still busy i see, Paul. Bring it to HB group on Saturday if u are coming. Glenn vk3pe

Ok. DDS
Not DDS, the si5351 is a PLL with a multisynth divider, a remarkable device.
Whoops. Its last year.
Noproblem! Good to see you on Saturday.
