A convenient, single board, isolated, a digital interface that works for almost all of the digital modes on HF and VHF/UHF. Works with DIGIPAN, FLDIGI, MTTY, MMSSTV, and most all other sound card programs! It consists of two 600-ohm line transformers for audio input and output from your pc to your transceiver and an optocoupler push-to-talk circuit that works off of an RS-232 port on your computer.

Wireless Telephone Transmitter Model WTT-20 – $7.00  Photo-1  Photo-2
A small classic “bug” kit. Build a unique and versatile telephone transmitter on a miniature PC board. The completed project connects to a landline telephone, using line power (no battery needed) to transmit the audio from the call on 70-130 MHz.

If you are interested in both I am discounting them to $10.00 for the pair!

Airband 121.5 MHz Receiver Wide-Area Deployment

Wayne, AF6GX servicing the air band equipment.

For several decades SBARC has sponsored monitoring of the emergency beacon channel on 121.5. This was originally prompted and set up with L-Tronics receivers at several locations. Today we have a blend of L-Tronics and FAA 121.5 GRR receivers. The L-Tronics receivers shall in time be replaced by GRR receivers. Presently we have two GRR receivers in service, one at UCSB, and one at Santa Ynez Peak. A third unit shall be installed at the La Vigia TCF facility followed by a fourth unit at either La Cumbre or Diablo. This program is being privately funded by Bill, W1UUQ for as a public service benefit for public safety.
