DART-70
=======
In 2023, the 70MHz band became accessible to amateurs in Switzerland. This offers an excuse to build a transciever.
The hardware design is licenced under the "CERN Open Hardware Licence Version 2 - Permissive", see *cern_ohl_p_v2.txt*.
The firmware is MIT-licenced.
See dart70-blockdiagram.pdf
Fits in enclosure Hammond 511-0900
New *ongoing*: PA with AFT05MS031 in kicad-dart-70-pa/
## To order
Things that are not on the schematics:
* Microphone MH34-B4B
* Adafruit 292 and 181
* Cable 15134-0800
* encoder and potentiometer knob (6mm shaft diameter) 5164-1101
* right-angled 2.54mm headers HMTSW-108-08-T-S-180-RA
* Enclosure 511-0900
* Hardware: 20x 970050354
## Board bringup
1. LDOs and VRX VTX switching
2. STM32F103
3. Si5153
* Frequencies
4. Sort crystals for filter
5. Antenna switch
6. RX path
7. TX path
## TODO
* Firmware:
* Handle VOX PTT
* Implement CW macros
## Rev. 0 Insights
* TX Frontend:
* The amplifier is actually frequency selective enough that we can entirely
drop the input filter.
* Instead, we want a trim cap for C120, slightly smaller than 22pF
## Notes
* Mixer termination
