DF2FQ 6m Transverter Project

Started Summer 2006, the IF is on 10m and is rated at 6w output. The PCB by Holger Eckardt DF2FQ is very professional and easy to build. Instructions are in English! My only criticism is that PCB holes are plated through - excellent except you tend to destroy any component you put in the wrong place!

First stations heard were from Serbia and Hungary. Output was initially only 300mW. Extra capacitance was needed in the ALC circuit and it now puts out 5-6w easily after increasing from 10pF to 110pF. First QSO with Colin M5AEH suggests it works well on ssb. Harmonic output was tested and is better than -50dB. Since then, I have built a linear amplifier to take output to 60w.
