Built TAURUS 40m SSB Exciter

As an advanced part of the BARSicle project the plan is to build RV3YF's TAURUS SSB Exciter and 5W PA.

I have received the kit for both, and so far built to SSB Exciter,



I have made a couple of modifications which I hope will work, these are to include input LPF for the VFO input of 4.0592 - 3.9592MHz (tuning 7.0 - 7.2MHz) and for the SSB filter input at LSB = 11.062MHz, USB = 11.056MHz. These signals will be provided by the VFO synthesiser using an Si5351, the third Si5351 output will be on 7.0-7.2MHz for our Direct Conversion RX.
