EME103 KIT CONSTRUCTORS ALERT

There are no current issues to be announced.

BELOW SHOWS THE TESTED RESULTS OF THE PROTOTYPE KITS

CONSTRUCTION IMAGES OF THE EME94 TRANSVERTER KIT

The Image to the left shows how the tinplate & SMA connectors are fitted to the board. There is around 2 - 3 hours work to get to this stage, but it needs to be done to strengthen the board & for good RF connection of the SMA connectors. Fitting of the components after takes much less time.

Above pictures show how the tinplate is drilled with a hand PIN Vice to fit the connectors & feedthrough capacitors.

A pair of pliars are used to bend
the MMIC Amplifiers leads so
that they will fit the board.

The picture left shows how the
MGA FET is mounted from the
bottom side of the board.

This Image shows the RX & TX power wiring to the feedthrough capacitors.

Below is the completed Transverter Kit

KIT FAULTS & MODIFICATIONS

1/ Low output power could be due to L2 150nH in the 2M I/F version being open circuit. Check with a multimeter.

2/ For any other faults check the voltages on the board.
