Well, I have not been setting the QRP world on fire with my 38S at 250mW,
but I have made a few contacts. The band has not been in all that great of
shape either, but was hearing VK's last night, they just could'nt hear me
:-).
Today I worked Larry, NF0Z/7, in AZ. He gave me a 439 report, I am running
the stock ver. of the 38S, and it seems to work well so far. No major
problems from the get go, just had to wait on the new xtal's. BTW , my
tuning range with the orginal 4.7uH choke ( L1 ) is now 10.100 to 10.121,
not too bad. I have not checked it out on a scope as of yet , have been
getting good reports, and it sounds well on the TS-430s. So guess I'm ok.
Jumpered R-24 as per Ori's instructions, and the audio is fine. Would it be
a crime to hook up a ( dare I say the word ? ) speaker to this rig ? Has
anyone built an audio amp. to drive a small speaker ? I would like to
monitor the band for openings when I'm in here reading the list or working
on my web page. Good luck to all who are building 38S', it sure has been a
fun little project for me ! It still is sitting here naked on the bench, I
have yet to put it in the case !
CU on the bands !!!
