10MHz LOCAL OSCILLATOR
10MHz local oscillator. Under
development

The
10MHz local oscillator design is a combination of G3XBM
designed local oscillator used for a similar 137kHz transverter and an ARRL Hand Book's
local oscillator design for a 160m band transverter. The success of
the this 10MHz oscillator will also be the used for a future 137kHz transverter.

Fig 1 Schematic of the
10MHz crystal lock oscillator and buffer stage. This circuit is
subject to further development.
