Initial meeting of all
interested in MAXON mods is to be held at our Clubrooms starting 7.30pm.
A culmination of the 2003 series.
Following on from the successful 2003 series, we will be running a practical
session on Microprocessors and the Maxon Radio. There are so many
ideas that the Maxon can be used for and with the Microprocessor interface
and control, the possibilities are unlimited. This will be a series to
become involved in. Keep your eye on this page.

Data Radio
This is the radio that we will be
working on and when some of the proposed projects are complete, the radio
will provide far more functions that it's original 2 channel functions
.
UPDATE.... March 09, 2004.
The
first in the 2004 Maxon series workshops. Simon showed us the ease in replacing
the Maxon aerial connector with a BNC connector. Well, easy for some, the
job had been avoided by many of us to this demonstration. It was no such
an herendious task. Allocation time was the major requirement. Emails from
the US tells us that these projects are watched with interest from afar
as well.
UPDATE.... March 23, 2004.
The second in the 2004 Maxon series workshops. Harry, ZL1BK took us on
a trip into the regulation of both the Handheld and the Data radios. Harry
discussed Mic and PTT applications, the Voltage regulation or restriction
and skimmed over the protocol chip insertion for a following workshop.
Keith ZL1BQE shows 6 boards that had been modified to accept the chip.
(He lost the lot on the night!. He would like the replaced board in exchange,
at least.)
TO COME.... Additional articles
are to be posted on these pages giving blow by blow description of the
Mic / PTT, the Reguator inclusion and the modifications to one of the PC
boards to allow the Protocol circuit.
