Here is the blog that never started.
Initially I registered my own domain name because the new id.au domain names were so cheap. I just had to have one.
After several failed attempts here is my third go at blogging.
After a move to my new home Mildura and a career change, maybe blogging might stick this time – one can only hope.
So here is my new project – a Codan 7727 HF radio. They were extremely popular during the eighties, but fell out of popularity when PLL became popular and Channel crystals became $50 a pop.
The plan with this girl is to replace the crystals with a DDS powered Arduino kit designed by VK5ZLR.
Let’s see if I can blog the process of my new found project.
Hi, how did you go with the 7727 ?
Still working on it.
I just removed a large chunk of un-required parts to make room for the DDS.
A new post will come shortly.
Jamie,
Got your name from John Drew. Did you get the KL-450 up on his repeater controller? If so I’d like to talk to you about some issues.

Hi Jamie, i currently also have a 7727TB running as a local with a 9851DDS and Arduino UNO, using a BCD to Decimal decoder to auto band switch with frequency selection. Also spent lots of time on KL’s, i think i have supplied half of Vic and Tas with KL’s lol. Have to catch up some some time. VK3JUG
