The ADX-S Digital Modes HF QRP Transceiver is the Superhet modification of Barb, WB2CBA's open source Arduino Digital Xcvr inspired by the receiver design idea of JA9TTT. The receiver performance is much improved compared with the original direct conversion design at the cost of adding only two components. Several hardware and firmware bugs are fixed so you can build with better experience, thanks to the feedback from dozens of the beta testers and early domestic customers. The code is open source so you can customize the radio with your own idea. It works with WSJT-x, JTDX on PC or FT8CN on Android phones in VOX mode.

New! iFTx on iPhone or iPad is also supported on V2 hardware with Bluetooth audio connection.

Classic PCB Kit (CPK) Series

Tracked air shipping is included in the price. Please note, DC40 kit does not include NE602, which I hope you can supply by yourself.

CPK1 = Pixie2023, CPK2 = DC40, CPK3 = KT Receiver, New! CPK4 = QRPP CW TX

Order

CPK-1 Pixie2023: CW Transceiver with clean output

CPK-2 DC40: Clear receiver with less broadcast interference

CPK-3 KT: Modern FM/MW/SW receiver for minimalists

CPK-4 QRPP CW TX with bigger and cleaner RF output than Pixie2023

 

You can share the kit building fun with club members and youngsters with these classic PCB kits. For example, after the SMD part pre-assembly, some primary school students of BH4GYJ (Shanghai Fushan Foreign Language Primary School Club Station) can build CPK3 KT Receiver successfully with the help from their teacher Mr. Li, BH4FGJ.

Generic TCXO Module for Adafruit Si5351A Clock Generator Breakout Board and its Compatible (Green one on the left of the photo, not including the entire module on the right)

Unit Price: 9.9 USD for 1 pcs, 19.9 USD for 3 pcs or 29.9 USD for 5 pcs including tracked air shipping.

Why you will need this TCXO Module? No more noticeable drift on ADX-S, even WSPR at full RF output! Now it is a part of ADX-S V2 kit. The TCXO spec says 0.5ppm drift and 2ppm accuracy.

Rework instructions:

  1. Desolder the original SMD crystal. Hot air or heating plate are the best. If you don’t have either of them, a solder iron of high power (60-100W) will do the job. Just touch the metal surface and wait for solder melt and then move the crystal towards empty PCB side. Clean the pad if necessary.
  2. Apply solder to three empty pads XA, V and G, use solder bridge to solder on V and G pads to the decoupling capacitor on the Si5351 module, then use a thin lead to connect the XA pad to the top right pad of the original crystal.
  3. You may need to re-calibrate the crystal as the crystal frequency changes. No other change is required. It is a drop-in upgrade for other applications than our ADX-S.

Note that the LO frequency is at half of the working frequency. It is by design, no worries.
