A QRP digital transceiver created from readily available parts for off-the-grid maintenance

A presentation presented at the 2023 QSO Today conference on the RFBitBanger can be viewed on Youtube here.

A single band double-sideband radio, with the band changed by pluggable external filters on 20 m to 80 m. A double-balanced ring mixer is used to provide good rejection of strong stations while not requiring any custom ICs such as SA612 or FST3253. The mixer has strong drive to reduce nonlinearity. Can be assembled and operated by a properly licensed individual that may not have a great deal of electronics experience or experience at making HF contacts. The radio is made from readily…
