Radio direction finding is a fascinating hobby that has been becoming more
and more popular in today's portable world. With intentional jammers and other
unknown transmitters becoming more frequent, Doppler DF locators have become the
rage with a display that gives you a direct bearing on the location of the
transmitter. Pretty neat trick considering you don't need multiple separate
receivers at different locations to triangulate on the mystery transmitter. Up
to now, directional antennas with a good front to back ratio (such as Yagi's or
Quads) were required, and were tough to use. However, it's a little bit
impractical to mount a Yagi or Quad to the roof of your car for mobile
applications. A much more practical approach to the mobile application is to use
four 1/4Wave antennas and the Doppler principal.
The unit includes the Doppler Direction
Finder display unit, and all the parts for your own four point, 5 piece magnetic
antenna assembly for easy setup and use. Operates on 12VDC, and includes a
matching 12VDC power plug for custom integration and connection into your
vehicle or portable power supply. Easy to hook up to any FM receiver.
Transmitter (the object of your DF'ing) need not be FM, it can be AM/FM or CW.
Requires only a connection to your receiver's speaker jack and radio's antenna.
The whips can be cut and optimized for any frequency from 130-1000 MHz. Compares
most favorably to commercial units costing upwards of $1000.00!
Pi-network output for good matching and harmonic suppression
Provision for two internal crystals, front panel switching
VCXO tuning, frequency can be tuned approx 7KHz around xtal
freq.

PR100
- High Performance 2 Meter Preamp Kit
Here’s the ideal preamp for repeaters, base stations, mobiles,
anywhere a selective low noise signal boost is needed. Unlike other preamps
thePR-100 features extensive RF filtering to crush intermod before it reaches
your radio. Two poles of sharp Helical filtering combined with a 3 pole L-C tank
allows only signals of interest to reach your receiver. A low noise microwave
bipolar transistor provides an excellent 1 dB noise figure while remaining
ruggedly insensitive to static and strong signals. In fact, this preamp is
actually included as part of our Weather Satellite receiver system! Preamp is
easily configured to be powered via the coax (for mast mount applications) or
powered through a separate power cable. Kit is designed to fit snugly into
a3" long piece of 1 1/2" PVC pipe with end caps, making an ideal
outdoor enclosure. Runs on 9 to 15 VDC . Size: 4"w x 7/8"h x
13/8"d

Put some new ‘ears’ on your rig with one of these
hot little preamp kits. Their high gain combined with low noise will improve
most any receiver. Fully protected against overload and designed for low current
and stable operation they employ high Q tuned circuits which restrict
out-of-band signals which can cause intermod blanking and over load of your
radio’s front-end. Don’t be misled by GaAs FET claims! The cheap dual-gate
FETs (manufactured for TV tuner usage!) used by others just don’t come close
to the performance of these preamps designed with NEC microwave transistor
devices. Gain is typically 16 to 20 dB and noise figure is 1 dB @ 2 Meters, 1.2
dB @ 220MHz, and 1.4 dB @ 440 MHz. Compact design or easy installation into most
any rig. Operates on 12 to 15 VDC . Size: 1" x 3/8" x 1 1/2".

SA7 - Broadband Preamp Kit
Put some new life into that old shortwave receiver, scanner, TV set, or
frequency counter. This is the famous preamp that’s been written up in all the
radio and electronics magazines. New low-cost microwave transistors make it
possible to give performance unheard of a few years ago - over 16 dB gain from
100 KHz to 1000 MHz, with a low noise figure of < 4 dB! Runs on 12 to 15
volts at 15 mA, has 50 to 75 ohm impedance and is unconditionally stable - if
you’ve had broadband preamp hook-up problems in the past this unit will be an
answer to your dreams! Size: 1"w x 3/8"h x 1 1/2"d.
Your discounted price $18.95
RFS1 - RF Sensed T-R Relay Kit
This is the unit you need when adding a preamp or power amp in line with an
existing antenna. It senses the RF power and closes an on-board DPDT relay which
can be used to automatically switch in your added power amp or preamp. The relay
is good up to UHF -100W! Many folks use one of these ‘lifesavers’ in front
of their expensive test equipment. Runs on 10 to 15 VDC. Senses power as low as
50 mW. Size: 1½” x ½” x 4”.

TT7 - Touch-Tone Decoder Kit
Here's the Answer for your DTMF
Control Problems!
Decodes DTMF Touch Tones from telephone, radio, etc.
20mA output drives relays, LED's, digital devices, etc.
Telco CO quality decoder with stable crystal control
Decodes 0 thru 9, *, #, A, B, C, D
You can strap the TT-7 for detection of any single digit,
including the secondary A, B, C, D digits. When the decoder detects the selected
digit, it will provide a closure to ground for driving a relay, lamp, sounder,
or other such load of up to 20 mA. A commercial central office quality decoder
IC chip is used, making the TT-7 extremely reliable, fast and sensitive. You may
connect the TT-7 directly across the speaker or detector output on any receiver,
and in fact, we even detail how it may be connected directly to a telephone
line. We designed the TT-7 to be small enough (about 2 square inches) to fit in
many radios for easy installation. If your needs are simply single function
remote tone control, the TT-7 is for you. Runs on 5VDC. Size: 1 1/2" x
7/8" x 2 1/4".
Your discounted price $23.95

All your tone control needs on a single PC board. Kit will simultaneously
decode and/or encode any frequency from 400 to 5000 Hz, (add a small capacitor
to go down as low as 10 Hz) Great for PL tones, remote controls, tone burst FSK,
anywhere tones are involved. Frequency is easily set with the precision 20 turn
trimpot, and the circuit uses a voltage regulator and Mylar cap for the ultimate
in stability. Runs on 5 to 12 VDC , will drive up to100 mA load. Size: 1
1/4" x 1//2" x 1 1/2".
