The purpose of these components is explained in more detail below.Īll of these devices are powered from 13.8 Vdc station power to avoid the potential for noise from wall wart transformers inside the rack. Bottom of Unit – 8-port Ethernet Switch, Industrial USB Hubs, 10 MHz Reference Distribution Amplifier, and RigRunner 4005i Ethernet Controller DC Power Controller.Lower Shelf – 2m LPDA, 70cm Transverter, DIPs, and 28 MHz splitter.Upper Shelf – WaveNode WN-2 Wattmeter and space for a forthcoming 23cm Upconverter.Top of Unit – microHam Station Master Deluxe Antenna Controller and a K1EL Winkeyer.The final assembly mounts all of the components in the rack on 5 levels as follows: We also added an Ethernet Switch, a pair of USB hubs, and upgraded power and remote controls to improve our ability to manage our station remotely and to simplify the interconnections between our Remote GW and the rest of our station. This allows all of the required gear to be placed under the desk in our station in a way that is neat and reliable. We decided to repackage our Remote GW set up in a rack mount cabinet on casters. Remote Gateway Rack with Satellite AdditionsĪdding the additional bands for satellite operations involves adding a 2m Amplifier, a 70cm Transverter, and a 23cm Upconverter to our SDR-based Remote GW.

You can see what is going on at Field Day 2019 on 6m and above via the preceding link. Our VHF Station will use a dedicated 40 ft Tower with Tower Mounted Preamps and low-loss feedlines.
In addition to our Computer Controlled Satellite Station, we will be adding a state of the art Weak Signal Antenna System and Station to our Field Day 2019 lineup. The Nashua Area Radio Society always brings something new to each Field Day that we do.
