144MHz SSB Transceiver
This homemade base station transceiver has given me over twenty years service.
It is based around the G4CLF designed SSB exciter board that uses the Plessey SL series of IF and balanced mixer integrated circuits.
VXO controlled, this single band, single mode rig is still permanently connected to a nine element Tonna. I switch it on when ever I am in the shack, it's just a shame activity is not what it used to be.
