I've been involved in electronic production for over 30 years (I'm in my 50's) and have work with companies small and large but always with a radio based product.
I'm self taught I guess but have been taught by the best too and really want to provide something that's really up there with the latest tech.
I'm not 'nostalgic' in any way but guess some folk are and dont really get it.
I'm going to provide a very efficient RF generator, built in DDS etc so just supply Volts and an Antenna and youve got a thumping carrier.
2 choices of mod, PWM or with half the Volts a mod tranny and amp.
Some folk can supply there own modj I guess as mod tranny and simple 100W audio amp will be fine and will make it cheaper.
I still dont expect many takers despite all the interest, mind you I was surprised at how many LuLu units I sold, around 70 in total + all the kits and PCB's I sold initially.
Absolutely No interest from Hams, so dont bother with them (am one myself!) they always think they could built it better cheap with some crap out of there junk box, another pet hate of mine as no-one else ever has the parts apart from the junk box author!
ALL the stuff I use is readily available from China via eB and the funky bits from DiGiKey.
I'm still musing over SiC or GaN and have PCB's for both, still need time to fully test them out.
The design is so simple it a joke, however making it stable is no easy matter!
I've got things running fairly well at 100W but really want to get to 200W and beyond.
Cheers fer now.
