EQUIPMENT FOR 5 GHz BAND

   Project started together with my friend UT5JCW - Serge . After we made several QSO's in 144 MHz, 432 MHz, 1296 MHz,

    we talk to made new QSOs in 5 and 10 GHz band. So UT5JCW have all rigs ready and I am on last steps to see that dreams come true :

   First QSOs ever between Ukraine and YO in 5 and 10 GHz band.

   (KN44HD - KN64SN = QRB 394 Km, over the Black Sea)

 5 GHz transverter

  Project based on YO4HFU - Robert, 5 GHz, Version 5 transverter, 1W out

Mosfet Power Module for 12V SMA coaxial relay command
transverter progress 16.09.2025
transverter progress 25.09.2025 - ready for chip programming and final alignaments
be very careful when soldering MAX2871, pin 1 is marked with +
the transverter has 5V at Rx/Tx switching. To switch 12V relays, a MosFet switch must be added
LM2596 step-down converter
RadioWaves SPD2-5.2NS-RD 2ft (0.6m) 5.25-5.85GHz, where the boom attachment system was restored
