My SDR – Reloaded

Radioamateur.ch Publié le par

I received my new PCB this Friday and started to solder it with a new approach. Instead of working by stages, I soldered every series of components. It’s very fast because the components identification is visual and easy on the computer. It’s a bit boring for the large series, but I the counterpart is I soldered more than 350 surface mount components in less 4.5 hours. I used the solder mask (steel foils cut by laser) to put the right quantity of solder paste and the result is simply excellent. Now, I have to winding the toroids and finalize the board. Some pictures of my new prototype :

Yearrrr! I received my PCB Friday, just in time. The quality is here, and it’s another good point for PCB Layout. The day after, I started to solder a large part of the SDR transceiver, but unfortunately, I missed the CODEC in my components order… Braaaa, components are delivered in J+1 ^^
