  • What radio are you using for microwave.

  • I use mostly all Kuhne Electronics stuff, it's more expensive but much higher quality which helps a lot at these higher frequencies e.g. stability. I have their 10GHZ and 24GHZ transverters, 24 GHZ beacon, and external Oscillator w/10GHZ external reference for 24GHZ. I drive this using an Icom-706 MKIIG feeding a 17dbi Horn into an old Satellite TV Dish.

  • @bandopening Thanks for your reply. I am now using a Trimble GPS disciplined oscillator at 10MHz that is fed to a home-brew synthesizer to generate 106.5MHz which is fed into the Kuhne transverter. Works great, and very stable. The only drift now is the FT290R IF rig. 73 - Rob VK2GOM

  • I have changed my VFO to a system that uses a N5ACX "Apollo synthesizer. I used a rubidium 10 MHz oscillator or an ovenized 10 MHz oscillator as the reference and the Apollo synthesizer produces the required local oscillator for the transverter. Overnight I went from unstable, wandering to dead on frequency to within a hertz at 10 GHz! Why.... because I could!! The rubidium is an overkill, but it only cost about $70. It works sooooo well.

    Google N5AC for more info. 73 Ron K7RJ

  • Nice video, just wondering what handheld radio that was.

  • 10 ГГц - это сильно .

  • An interesting video. I have never ventured above UHF despite having a licence since 1991. Maybe Its time to have a go.

  • Pretty cool! 10GHz would be kind of useless around here. The multipath would be AWFUL because we've got a lot of reflective surfaces.

  • This is very nice. I have thought of this type of operation. I got tired of "5/9 QRZ", then I went to building QRP rigs, then I got transferred. My radios have sat in storage for the past three years. This video is great. Thank you.

  • Just got my Kuhne kit for 10GHz up and running. Next step is definitely a PLL 106.5MHz oscillator... the kit drifts bad due to all the multiplication to 10224 from 106.5. Other than that, it works well. 73 - Rob VK2GOM

  • Really nice video. I am enjoyed UHV/SHF bands too. Great.... Thanks

  • Well done..
