Group 3: Oscillator: 

 

NOTE: 

The 2N7000s are mosfets and can be damaged by static.  
Those who live in dry areas and prone to static problems need 
to take precautions before handling. This can simply be to 
touch a large metal object to discharge your self, before 
handling the parts.    
 
 

C34:

 The flat side of the trimmer goes towards the line on 

layout diagram. C41 not used in 40M version.  
 

S1:

 You may want to mount the switch on the bottom of the 

board. If you are going to mount the rig into an Altoids tin, you 
won't have to open the lid to access the switch. If you mount 
the rig into some other kind of enclosure, using a separate 
push button or mounting the switch on the bottom may be the 
only practical way of accessing it. 
 

Crystal Socket:

   If you want to change frequencies, you may 

want to install a SIPP socket at location X1.  An example of 
preparation and installation of the SIPP socket can be found at 
http://www.qrpkits.com/buildertip03.html. 
 

Smoke Test: 

Connect a paddle and headphones to the board. Connect a 
test lead antenna to your “big rig” and select the band for 
which this kit is being built.  Tune the receiver to the crystal 
frequency.  Place the test lead antenna near the board. Apply 
power. Tune the receiver around a little until you hear the 
board’s crystal oscillator.  Click and hold closed the switch until 
you hear the letter “T” in the headphones. The keyer is now in 
Tune mode. Tapping the DASH paddle will put the rig into 
transmit mode. It will remain so until you tap the DOT paddle. 
You can continue to toggle back and forth between transmit 
and receive using the DOT and DASH paddles. To exit tune 
mode, click the switch again.   
 

Now you can set the C34 trimmer for the proper T/R 

oscillator shift.  With the board in receive mode, note the 
frequency of the oscillator. Toggle the board into transmit 
mode and adjust the C34 trimmer so the oscillator is now 600 
Hz higher in frequency than it was when in receive mode. You 
can also make this adjustment with a frequency counter if you 
have one. The right hand side of R12, located just below U3, is 
a convenient place to connect a counter.
