Enjoyed the video peter. Very good demo and sounds great. I am still operating my homebrew 40m tcf rig and get more enjoyment from it than any off the shelf black box.
Do you know of anyone who has built the tcf for any other band?
@m0dad Drew developed versions of the TCF for 80m as well as 40m. I'm unaware of whether they've been got going on other bands. 20m should be easy though you might need an extra stage of RF amplification on the Tx. A possibility for 20m would be to use a 10 MHz xtal ladder filter and a 4.19 MHz ceramic resonator - this would cover the busiest part of the band.
WOW, that looks great!! (Sounds pretty good too!!) Its amazing what one can build with a little time and skill. I really like the look of the case you built it into. Whats it look like on the inside??
Man, i would like to build this device, but do you have a schematics of this one? Please.

You have a great accent. You sound like one of the TV announcers from past years.
Great work on the radio :)

It's a standard NE602-based design, using those chips for the mixers and product detector.
Closely based on Drew Diamond VK3XU's 'TCF', which is published in one of his 'Radio Projects for the Amateur' books.
