VE6WZ

Steve, VE6WZ made his version of the RX-amp with a build in relais to protect the RX-amp during TX.
The 9-circle combiner is on one pcb and Steve added the well known RX-preamp with a 2N5901 to the combiner.
A walk true video by VE6WZ at his location showing the YCCC 9 circle rx array installation.

A note from Steve: Read the YCCC manual, watch all video's, re-read the manual again and think! You needs some knowledge of electronics to build this units. He is not a helpdesk on How-to....

A new 9-circle combiner is designed by Steve without the need of the common mode choke. Also the extra pre-amp has removed in thes design.

If you wish to build the array with the pcb's from Steve, we can provide them too via the webshop!

The value of each component is written in the BOM

Steve describe the rx-amp in a you-tube video

In case of trouble there are 2 video's how to check the pre-amp

A test procedure is shown in a video as well

 
New print without extrenal chokes and new pre amp
 
 

This is the new creation by Steve on the switch unit. There is no need any more for an extrenal common mode choke with the 2 ferrit core and RG179 coax. This uint has build-in common mode choke.

In this video Steve explain this design.
