The Pluto Styx module for 13 and 9cm bands is now back on track after issues with PA sequencing which has now been resolved.

630m band decoders in Adelaide running 4 instances of WSJTX with callsign suffixes to decode WSPR 120 ( VK5LO/A ), FST4W 120 ( VK5LO/B ), FST4W 300 ( VK5LO/C ) and FST4W 1800 ( VK5LO/D ).

@vk5qi This is now common Mark as many don't know the band plans. same using 432.150 simplex and getting into A07

New Mini-Kits SDR Receiver Antenna Switch is now available https://t.co/ZcVvWICaIT

New developments Kits for the Adalm-PLUTO. The PLUTO-CHARON prototype shown here is a 23cm band module that produces up to +36dBm output, and also has a low noise receive pre-amplifier onboard, and antenna relay switching.

A WiFi switch Kit using the Ai Thinker ESP-01S module, has been developed by Mini-Kits to enable switching of up to 4x +12vdc outputs using onboard MosFETs. Kits will be available soon.

@DV2JB Would be best Jharwin to also hard switch the circuit from the Radios PTT output and use the RF sensing as a backup.

@vk5qi @Zathras_42 That's the way I see things also Mark.

[Mark @minikits]

@Zathras_42 @vk5qi You still need an external GPS unit with either solution so not sure why a small separate box is an issue. As mentioned the box can be disconnected or powered off and the Radio functions as factory. Also one box can be used with a distribution amps to lock multiple IC-9700's

[Mark @minikits]

@m1geo @uhf_satcom @vk5qi There are differences in the solutions,. Our solution can be used without GPS locking and is much more stable on its own due to a high stability TCXO, also the box can be disconnected from the Radio or powered off and the Radio functions as from the factory.

GPS-9700 Kits are now in stock https://t.co/OFAC2JbAZU

[Mark @minikits]

@dh2va @uhf_satcom Phase noise plots are available on the products website. Its as good if not better than the standard oscillator in the IC-9700. Mode locking may also reduce the close in phase noise as noted in whitepapers on injection locking. https://t.co/GMEu5BwEYR

Here is a sneak peak of the New Mini-Kits GPS9700 Prototype that was designed to lock the new Icom IC-9700 to an external 10MHz GPS reference. Some of you would have already seen this on our Facebook page. The product should be available in July 19

A new Receive HF Magnetic Loop module Kit for those suffering the ever increasing noise on the lower HF bands. https://t.co/cqoo3a0p81

This ham in Portugal https://t.co/7PERjdMbUI has copied our Transverter products https://t.co/6qpXVt5w9X are they not identical to https://t.co/gTQTOENJXK This disappoints me as a great deal of work is required to design new products

@M0YDH @G8GTZ @M0NWK @G7Jtt @BATCOnline Hi David, the Mini-Kits FM ATV TX are wideband FM where as the Comtech are narrow band FM ATV with tight filtering but still work. I never saw high quality pictures out of the Comtech RX even after modifying the circuits but they have greater range being narrowband

[Mark @minikits]

We have just finished some New fully constructed amplifier products that are suitable for Ham or commercial applications. https://t.co/SSaFfrJ7BL

[Mark @minikits]

@VK3TUB Sorry I should have done this

[Mark @minikits]

@darksidelemm @Zathras_42 I should keep more of an eye on things here

[Mark @minikits]

A 9MHz IF Noise Blanker Kit is now available to suit the Mini-kits M1 Transceiver https://t.co/jiDnpvAFUv
