From the project
A second generation low-cost amateur HF software defined radio transceiver.
The BOM below lists possible options for PureSignal feedback board. The builder should choose what components they need to buy and install.
Please refer to the schematic during assembly.
Below is a picture of an assembled PureSignal feedback board soldered on to the HL2/N2ADR jumper board. The components installed are as per the schematic, but experimentation may be necessary to determine the best values. The PCB supports pi and t attenuator configurations. Pi Calculator T Calculator
