In this video I hook up a pair of sensors: TMP36 and MAX31865 to the ESP32. No affiliation with any of the vendors below.

This is a followup to an earlier video I did

The above video gives a full background on LoRa - In this video I show how to connect a standard ESP32 to an off the shelf LoRa board.
This is the LoRa board I am using
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BD42DYY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This as antenna (note the above board does not come with an antenna)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086ZG5WBR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Code is pretty much the same as the Heltec board although pins are different (and as I note the low power LoRa output pin works on this board)

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:

At the heart is the MC3361 Narrowband FM IF which is used as a direct conversion mixer

In this new series I will be building and testing a low power SDR SSB Transmitter.
The schematics for the transmit mixer (work in progress) are here:

The code is here: (just PTT for the moment - more to come)

In this video I put together the QRP Labs 10W Linear Amplifier
https://qrp-labs.com/linear.html
I mention a couple of times that the bias reference circuit sets the BS170 DC bias at ~10V - that isn't correct its 2.7V

In this video I look at the first mixer circuit mixing a 2Khz signal with a 10Mhz carrier
Also in this video I also show all the steps involved in creating a crystal ladder PCB using the "Fab in a Box" kit
https://pcbfx.com/main_site/pages/products/starter_kit.html
using also a Laminator (or applicator as its referred to here)
https://pcbfx.com/main_site/pages/products/applicator.html
I mention in the video a "hard wash" to get rid of the residue. I really meant to say a hard rinse under the faucet. Just let the running water do the work - don't touch the board itself

In this video I will be building up the QRP Labs 50W amplifier
https://qrp-labs.com/50wpa.html
I'll be building module by module as I did with the QCX. The complete instructions are here
https://qrp-labs.com/images/50wpa/QCX_PAj.pdf
Hans has a great explanation of how the circuit works in the instructions including a pile of detail on how PIN diodes work.
There is also a link to a detailed explanation here
