<H1>1 Volt QRP Transceiver</H1>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Members of the <STRONG>DL QRP</STRONG> group are involved
in a project to build a QRP transceiver that runs on just 1 volt. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>The goals of the project are: </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>- Save the resources of our earth, save the earth<BR>-
Reduce battery waste<BR>- Reduce required materials<BR>- As much fun as
possible, so make a real useful transceiver </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Details of the project have now been made available on the
web. The article says: <BR><BR>"Modern solid state technologies makes it
possible to design RF transmitters and receivers with a powers supply as low as
1 Volt with good efficiency. The mainly power consumpting parts, the AF
end-amplifier and the RF-PA have to be designed very carefully to give good
results and to meet the goals. The efficiency today would be optimal at 3 Volt.
This experimental design will be the base for a 3 Volt Transceiver with an RF
power of > 0.5 Watt."</FONT></P>
