Progress made today on the 'big' 432MHz linear (a portable one for Field Day activations to be completed soon too!) with the MiniKits sequencer assembled (without including the RF switching option).
Mark VK5EME from MiniKits recently updated the design to incorporate a simple PIC and also SMD components making it a little more challenging to construct when you're not used to them, but after getting the technique going the board was quickly populated.
The relay on the board will be re-purposed to enable the linear amplifier switching, while the first two TX outputs will be utilised for the output and input coaxial relays (as utilised in two other recently completed amplifier projects).
