The RX9 is back but this time in a different place.
The reason for the other place is that it was released first after the farmer's harvest.

It took less time to set up than last time and everything was done in less than 2 hours.
Fortunately, my daughter helped me so that I don't always have to walk back and forth.

 

After building the testing started....
To make a long story short 2 preamps no longer worked I don't know how this is possible because everything has been broken down working.

 

After some searching I was able to replace the preamps.
Have now also checked all preamps again and given them each a number (with a sticker).
All LEDs have also been replaced on the preamps so that they now all give the same light intensity.
Last year when making the preamps I apparently used old LEDs and new LEDs, so some preamps had a brighter light than others.

 

In the meantime we have also started the version of VE6WZ and it is almost finished. You can find more information about it at this link.
When it's finished and tested, we'll give that version a try.

We also had some spare PCB's of the version of PI4CC that have been made in the meantime, so I now have 3 working RX9.

The first version has been set up, the second version is ready to be placed on another field (the old location from last year) so that we can eventually connect 2 systems to each other.

The second version will only have 2 directions for testing this year.

 

We are far from being able to couple them together as have yet to make a coupling system, impedance transformer and the necessary relays to disconnect the systems from each other when I wish to do this.

I doubt whether all this will be possible this year, but I have time and if it doesn't work this year, I will try to have everything ready by next year.
