In this video I show how to do basic I2S operations with ESP32. Then I move onto the ESP-ADF and DSP libraries and construct a Hilbert filter to perform audio phase shifting

In this video I'll build up the QCX transceiver
https://qrp-labs.com/qcx.html
Instead of the usual instructions
https://qrp-labs.com/images/qcx/assembly_A4-Rev-4d.pdf
I'll be doing a module by module build and testing each stage separately.
Just a correction: In the video I said that the Tayloe detector takes the I/Q signals. It doesn't - it takes LO signals in quadrature and produces the I and Q signals at the audio baseband.

In this video the microcontroller and LCD are installed together with the remaining parts of the Frequency Synthesizer and Quadrature Sampling Detector. The I and Q signals generated from an injected signal are then observed.
Following that the pre-amp is installed completing the receive path and a signal is injected again demonstrating the full receive path (with the exception of the low pass filter)

In this video I build up the QRP Guys Lidia receiver. Unfortunately they only sell the boards now:

Here is the web site of the Wim the original designer:
https://www.qsl.net/sp5ddj/Lidia%2040%20DC%20Receiver/Lidia%2040%20-%20DC%20Receiver.htm
At the heart is the MC3361 Narrowband FM IF which is used as a direct conversion mixer
