First Contact

I have had the first contact with the radio. I just solved the problem with the pll jitter.
It turned out to be bad connections and maybe a instable capacitor in the vco.
Then a fellow ham responded when I was testing.

Only the tx driver (30mWatt) was working and no antenna was connected.
The other station was only a few hundred meter away from my QTH.
Connecting a piece of wire to the driver boosted my signal to almost S9.
Great, the first contact has been made before construction has finished.

I bought a transformer for the power supply. It fits perfectly. However I may need a bit more current than this transformer can deliver. I will add add an extra power supply if necessary.

Next problems on the 'to be solved list':
-Increase high tones in the audio.
-Solve squelch problem. Spike noise is audible when squelch is closed.
-Solve s meter problem. When connecting a meter to the sensitivity of the receiver decreases.
I would like to show some pictures. Unfortunately my camera broke down.
