This is a Homebrew SSB Transceiver made from Indonesia -Bandung.
No specification or user manual but I will up date for more information near future. Easy to operate with less button and knob.

The price is affordable for newbies. It has very good audio quality on received with built-in AGC. During the test on transmit, I received a very good feed back with more to base audio quality.
There are few modification to enable the Transceiver having continuosly without any gap from 2.100 MHZ right up to 17.100 MHz. The Bandpass Filter (BPF) seem has limited ranges.

Some of you might thinking of using a Antenna Tunner for these radio. Do not whistle as that is bad attitude and could cause interference to others. You might try experiment with low pitch tone just enought to tune the antenna tunner. Used low power when tunning or else the final mosfet might burst.

End Feed antenna are built for low power transmissions or QRP and advisable not to used above 20 watts.

Experimenting with these radio are fun but when goes faulty do not get frustrated, there is always a way when there is a will.

Thanks for sharing and if there are more information and wish to shared with others, please e-mail me. 9m2da@marts.org.my and no spam please. Thank you.

ICOM IC-706 ~ 706 MK 2 LCD

NEW LCD REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR ICOM 
IC-706 or IC-706MK2 
 

 Hi....if you have a difficulties viewing your dark display and need to change it, no worries. I have  them factory made OEM and ready in stock. Many ICOM IC706's lover have left their radio unused. Now you can cleaned it up and change the display.
Note: 
Some old version radios may be different.

Projects

Project - BEACON


Made one for 9M2IDJ..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Homebrew Project - PIC KEYER
Circuit and Source code are from IK0WBR Website
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Homebrew Project
PIC PROGRAMMING INTERFACE BOX
I started homebrewing this just to program PIC for the ARDF Controller/Oscillator.
Later it seem more usefull then I thought....I started experimenting with others PIC project.
The dc supply are direct from the pc, that mean you do not need any external supply to run this circuit.
I used WinPic software. This programmer are only for PIC16F series...... The number 8,7,4,3 and 5 are connected to DB9 socket to PC ComPort.
IC pin 4 = TXD
IC pin 5 = Vss GND
IC pin 12 = RTS
IC pin 13 = DTR
IC pin 14 = Vdd
There are few circuit which is almost the same such as JDMPIC.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Homebrew Project - Radio Interface Box
(For Puxing, Kenwood TK series and others)



The 5 Volt DC may be supplied via your PC.
The Original RIB using MAX 233, since I have few MAX 232 in my junkbox, so this is the results.
I have used this to program my Puxing, Weierwie and Kenwood TK series.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is parts of my homebrew project. There are others homebrew project which I have done.
Repeater CWID using PIC16F84 which is been allocated at 9M4RMR and 9M4RSG repeater.
HF Antenna tunner for my ICOM IC-718 (2009),
Motorola RIB to program GP300, GP328, GP338,GP2100,GP328Plus and other...
PIXIE II QRP 40 meter CW Transceiver....Have not try it out...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

KGD("Kurz Geratener Dipol" ) SHORTY DIPOLE 
Looking for a simple short mono band dipole? There are several website explains how to make a very simple shortty dipole for those who have limited space.
Here you can go to the linked to few website which explains about the antenna.

THE CENTER LOADING OF SHORTY DIPOLE
L = NUMBER OF TURN OF COPPER WIRE
C = CAPACITOR USED IN PICOFARAD.
ALU = ALUMINIUM TUBING
TOP is my 10 meters Homebrew DELTA LOOP antenna and
BELOW is my 40 meter Homebrew SHORTY DIPOLE
 40 meter Homebrew Shorty Dipole ready to go.

A test with 40 meter half wavelength Inverted V antenna give S9 reports and
 the Shorty Dipole shows 20db over S9 on my S-meter.


MOXON DUAL BAND ANTENNA
Made from 7mm aluminium tubing. My first homebrew prototype has different measurement on VHF elements Due to the material used finally did it and send the sample to
 factory for mass production.  Thank you to all who have been using the antenna.

Good luck on satellite hunting.

Kod Etika

                   
KOD ETIKA YANG PERLU DIMILIKI OLEH WARGA HAM


BERTIMBANG RASA : Tidak akan menggunakan frekuensi (memancar) untuk menimbulkan rasa ketidakselesaan kepada orang lain dengan secara sengaja.

SETIA : Akan sentiasa mewujudkan sifat setiakawan, menyumbangkan khidmat bakti kepada rakan dan kelabnya.

PROGRESIF : Akan sentiasa memastikan stesennya (radas dan peralatan) dan juga kaedah pengendalian yang diguna pakai berada dalam keadaan sempurna dan efisyen.

MESRA : Bersedia untuk melakukan transmisi dalam kadar yang sesuai dengan keperluan rakan yang lain, menghulurkan nasihat dan panduan kepada rakan baru, membantu dan memberi kerjasama sesama warga ham; semua ini adalah merupakan semangat warga ham yang sebenar.

MANTAP DAN SEIMBANG : Radio hanyalah satu hobi. Seorang ham yang baik tidak akan membiarkan hobinya menjejaskan tanggungjawab terhadap kerjayanya, rumahtangganya, persekolahannya (bagi warga rakan muda), atau terhadap masyarakatnya. Ia juga harus sedar bahawa ilmu dan kepakarannya mahupun stesennya adalah sentiasa tersedia untuk dilibatkan ke arah khidmat masyarakat atau negaranya.
