WA4FC/B beacon hardware

photo 1The WA4FC/B station is a unique dual band system.  The hardware, built by Dave, N4MW is part of an old MRI machine.  The unit served as the synthesizer.  Please see his beacon webpage for info on his systems.

photo 2One transmitter will handle transmissions on both 28.231 and our new 6m freq of 50.078 MHz.  There is also only one keyer that will handle ID’ing, and it is arduino based.  Speed will be about 15 wpm, power from amplifier (see below) will be five watts on both bands (up from 2w on 6m previously).  Stay tuned for more details as we deploy the hardware.
