Richard did an article in QSt many years ago on QSK for the SB-200.
But, as I am sure you know, Ameritron is well represented at the ARRL. Somehow that articke is no longer in the archive. Well 40 meter CW is where I started over 30 years ago .. when the Novice band was 7.15 to 7.20 !! Can't wait till the broadcasters will move -- will be a first class early evening DX band (sans static!) I did see a couple of Internet web pages with the conversion -- but those web pages are now gone - I'll keep an eye open. I think Richard did do a conversion on an earlier SB-200 ... you may also want to look at the Ameritron/MFJ QSK-5 PIN diode internal board approach (for ideas how or how not to do it). http://www.ameritron.com/man/pdf/QSK-5PC.pdf w9gb Richard did an article in QST many years ago on QSK for the SB-200. But, as I am sure you know, Ameritron is now well represented at the ARRL. Somehow that articke is no longer in the archive. I guess articles on modifications to old amplifiers does not sell new amplifiers. Anyway, I think I have it figured out. Both of the connections to the cathode bias swicth will be on the HV power supply board. I will just place my circuit in proximity to that board. I will place the relays where the old RF relay was. Should you come across anything, I would like to see it, though. In the early 60s I was rock bound to a DX-60 on a 40 meter dipole. The receiver was an SX-101. I remember having a cigar box of rocks, and tuning up and down the band after every call. It was a big thing when I got my first, not so stable, VFO. But, looking back, those were great days. I don't get the kinds of QSOs today I did back then. Thanks again Win, w0lz |
