MINIPA 70
for those who wondered; yes, on E-Bay you get a 70watt shortwave PA for under 30 Euros from China. It’s a kit, and it does not come with building Information, neither does it come with the schema.
All Information you need though you can find on the Blog from PD7MAA. He was so kind to post the schema and some building information.

Have fun building!
Cheers and 73s,

BITX40 on its way
I’ve ordered the BITX40 last saturday, and it has arrived in Germany. DHL Express is blazing fast! I’m really curious to build and try it.
More to come.

POCSAG Transmitter
As I wanted a POCSAG Transmitter in our town, I decided to build one myself, with as a blue-print the following;
https://www.afu.rwth-aachen.de/projekte/funkruf-pager-pocsag/funkrufsender-19-zoll-mit-gm1200
I more or less build it the same way, I used the following components;
- A 2U black 19″ rack case (250 mm deep)
- a Raspberry PI 1
- A Motorola GM1200 without the frontpanel
- 2 silent fans
- Various other components, 2 LED, some resistors, UTP Network connector etc.
The result looks like this;
