Today I built my self an PTT interface to use for applications like Echolink and eQSO etc while on the run. The interface was made for a presentation at my local hamradio club (sk0ux) to show how easy it is to build this kind of stuff.
Some pictures of the interface, without the audio cables installed though.
If you want the schematic for this, just add a comment and I’ll make one for you!
I just finished soldering together my second version of the webswitch. Everything is working as expected but I still have to solder the cables to every connector and also add one relay.
The finished board. You can see the old board in the background.
Took a while to solder this…. The next step is to make my own PCB made from eagle =)
I’ve begun building the new board for my webswitch, this time to fit in a DIN-mounted enclosure.
A sneak-peak of the board:
Today I went by Kjell & Company and found out that they had started selling a DIN-mounted enclosure I’ve been looking at for some time (Elfa). The price was most adequate and also cheaper than Elfa. With this I also bought a new veroboard that fits perfectly. With this I will make a new webswitch board and try to scale down everything as I got the right veroboard this time!
For some time ago I got a 2m yagi from a friend that was broken. Now I’ve decided to try to repair this one as the complete antenna has quite good performance compared to my homebrew antenna (10el ~12dBd vs 17el ~15dBd).
Got to find a good place that sells cheap aluminium for the elements and the joints…
