DART-70
=======

In 2023, the 70MHz band became accessible to amateurs in Switzerland. This offers an excuse to build a transciever.

See dart70-blockdiagram.pdf

* Enclosure: Hammond 1411R or 513-0900?

Receive gain:

S9 is -93dBm, S1 is -141dBm

-141 -1 +16 -1 -7 -4 +60 -7 +30 = -55 dBm


Transmit gain:

-6 -7 -4 +16 -4 -7 -1 -1 +15 +15 +15 -1 = 30 dBm

## To order

* Enclosure
* Microphone MH34-B4B
