My 70cm ATV project,
This is the first step on 70cm ATV
Till now it was not possible with
a "NOVICE" license to operate on the 70cm ATV band
NOW there has bin made some changes in the license.
There for I decided to build a 70cm ATV transmitter.
I was already receiving the 3 - 13 - 23cm ATV band.
The idea was good, but that was only theoretically.
Thru internet I was trying to find websites with 70cm ATV information
but most amateurs have started with 3 - 13 - 23cm ATV
After a while searching on the
internet and collecting links and information
I made a selection you will find at the bottom of this page.
At my work some time ago I
collected 19" modules
the where perfect for this project.
To: Setup 70cm ATV transmitter + PA page
After feedback from some
other radio amateurs I started with my plan.
After some browsing on the internet I did find something interesting.
A power amplifier for 70cm ATV (has to be modified)

After searching the internet through
Germany / England and America I landed
in Australia to find my transmitter + amplifier but also my audio kit.

New Updates from "MiniKits" April 2009
To receive there was a problem,
how to find a TV receivers that will tune to the 70cm band.
I was lucky, I did find one at a Dutch shop with a S-band tuner.
"Marquant MCT-1494 13inch/ 37cm TV"
The antenna is no problem, Tonna 20922 ATV antenna 21 elem 438MHz
All this looks simple, but it took
me 3 weeks to find all the information I needed.
Now we are waiting for the goods to arrive from Australia.
In the mean time I will start to modify the (*)70cm Power Amplifier for the 70cm ATV band.
