Ameco AC-1 CW QRP Transmitter and Homebrew Receiver



Uploaded by: TechDemos
Video Description:
Here is my Ameco AC-1 novice CW transmitter on 40 Meters at about 5 watts output, along with my homebrew receiver and station controller (keyer and TR switch). If you are not familiar with this vintage novice rig, google search and you will find some interesting information on it. The AC-1's signal is being monitored in the shack for this video with a Kenwood R-1000 receiver - my homebrew receiver has only headphone audio output right now. As you can hear, my AC-1 produces a clean and stable signal. Hope you enjoy the video!! 73, Jack WA6KYO

Hi and tnx! My receiver is a simple direct conversion type with audio filters for added selectivity. It's basic, but actually works quite well and is extremely stable. I'll make a video of the receiver connected to a speaker when I get some time here. 73, Jack

There are modern transmitters that can't produce a signal that clean. "Empty State" technology - the good ole days .... unless you wanted to go "Personal Mobile".
