Kenwood TS-590s SDR/Panadapter IF Output

Here you can see the installation of an IF buffer inside the Kenwood TS-590s.
This allows me to have a tap on second IF, so I can use a SDRplay RSP1A connected and providing visual control of bands’ spectrum!
I bought the board PAT12, this is 12MHz bandwidth.

Hi Pedro, congrats on the
Video! Thanks for sharing the nice tip. All the best, 73s de CS7AIK.

I connected my buffer to CN-101. Just add a pin connecter, short it and connect the center conductor of your coax. Ground the coax to the chassis and your done.

Can you provide a close up picture of the attachment to the board.

[@ct7ahv]

To what board? TX-RX board of the radio?

[@videokfm]

Yes would also really like to see a close up of the solder tap points. Would like to see if only the center of the coax was soldered to the radio PCB.

Muito obrigado pelo seu vídeo. Gostaria de fazer também, mas seria possível ter fotos detalhadas em planta grande de todos os pontos de soldagem. Atenciosamente, Sébastien 73

Hello, thanks for your comment!
Unfortunately I can’t take pictures of the installation because the equipment has been sold… 73

Pedro, como vc fez para alimentar a plaquinha?

[@ct7ahv]

Oi, eu fui buscar alimentação ao conector que o rádio tem para ligar um acoplador externo, a alimentação nesse conector é chaveada!

[@py7sv-radioamadorismo]

Ok, já mandei buscar o PAT12M. Certamente precisarei de ajuda, e conto com a sua valiosa experiencia e gentil disposição em atender. Vi que vc está no QRZ. Sérgio - PY7SV.
