It appears that the receiver board (at least) has a problem or two.
From: Luke BowkerSubject: some errata on the 2Mbps thing Date: Thu, 10 Apr 1997 02:22:42 +1000 (EST) In addition to what's on the web page, I've come across the following. Sources are the ARRL's "Packet, Speed, more Speed and Applications" book (1st edition it says), and the pcb artwork on the web page. - The overlay specifies a 511 R resistor. The schematic in the book and the errata on the page and common sense say it's a 5.11 K resistor. - Q3 and Q4 are swapped between the overlay and the schematic. Doesn't matter since they're both 2n2222's. - The 147 R resistor associated with Q3 (the overlay's Q3, Q4 on the schematic) should be 20K. - The schematic doesn't show that the DCD led is connected via two pins on P2. From the schematic one may get the impression that the DCD light should be mounted on the PCB. - On the preamp there are two inductors, only marked with "75", but no mention of what units they're in. nH I presume? Nearest preferred values are 68 and 82 nH aren't they? These two coils are the only things I'm unable to locate at every shop I can think of. I hope to write up a html thing on where to get the components from for people living in Australia. I'll let you know when it's done.
If anyone finds other problems or fixes, let me know and I'll try to include them in this file.
