Open-source files for Global Communications Transceiver
The Global Communications Transceiver project. Global-Communications-Transceiver is a 5W radio transceiver which is rugged, simple, and reliable.
It is a optionally silent digital radio which can be heard almost all over the world!
Note: Receiving amateur and CB radio traffic without any license is fine in most countries - please check your local regulations to be sure. Transmitting on amateur shortwave bands usually requires an amateur radio license but you are free to transmit and experiment on the CB band.

HF-PA-v10: common questions
What microcontroller does the HF-PA-v10 use?
The HF-PA-v10 is built around the RP2040-Zero, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the HF-PA-v10 PCB?
The HF-PA-v10 measures 90 × 99.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the HF-PA-v10?
97 components, from 54 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the HF-PA-v10 design files?
From the kholia/Global-Communications-Transceiver repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the HF-PA-v10 design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which kholia chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the HF-PA-v10 without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
