measurements and adjustments
- according to the data sheet of the Stratex 24GHz Module, it is finally obtained - 850mW power out, verifiable by obtaining a voltage of 2.20V at the Tx detector, sensitivity at Rx path gain = 24 dB
- the measurements made at the Tx output of the 2320Mhz IF module, by adjusting the Tx gain potentiometer, show a range of levels between 0-12dBd
- the maximum level accepted for the Stratex 24GHz module attack at the Tx input delivered from the 2320 MHz IF module is limited at 10dBd
- the maximum attack power from the 144 MHz transceiver will not exceed 500mW
project finished - first 24GHz test QSO was made with YO3CYR in 20 December 2025. QRB = 3 Km
