According to the new rules, each repeater must have his own call sign and at least once every fifteen minutes report it by telegraph on the air. Somehow I happened to make a similar machine based on a PIC processor. I will be glad if this design is useful to someone.

(click to enlarge)

The program is very simple and contains two telegraph words. This is the call sign and additional information, such as the last name. The call sign is telegraphed immediately after the voltage is applied to the circuit, and the second word is transmitted after the call sign only if the S1 toggle switch is turned on. Ten minutes later, the machine switches on the transmission again and telegraphs. But only if there is no voltage at the "squelch" input, i.e. the transistor is closed. This is done so as not to interrupt rare DX by telegraph. But you can not connect this input at all, then the conversation will be interrupted by a telegraph message, this is done in most cases, the S3 toggle switch is provided for this. Relay P1 turns on the transmission and switches the low-frequency microphone circuit. You can force the machine to start by briefly pressing the S2 toggle switch. While it closes the reset signal to the ground, the machine does not turn on. This allows you to use this design as a beeper for the operator of an individual radio station.

Programming a callsign is also easy. For example, the call sign RR6LB and the surname of the CAR operator are sewn up. In order to program your call sign, it is enough to know the telegraph alphabet and understand a little in assembler. Let me tell you that the main commands for this machine are: CALL TIRE, CALL TCHK and CALL PAUZ. The duration of the pause is equal to the duration of the dash, and the dash is actually three dots. And then, according to the rules, there should be 3 pauses between letters, etc. An interval of ten minutes between switching on the machine is set by a conversion factor of three constants TAMH-high byte, TAMM-middle byte, TAML-low byte.

If you change the callsign code and last name, the response time will be slightly different from 10 minutes. You can forcibly start the machine from an external timer by applying a high level signal to the RESET input (switch S2) of the processor for 1,5 - 9 minutes, and for the rest of the time keep the low level on this leg. The frequency of quartz 4 MHz affects the interval between switching on, the frequency and duration of the parcels. You can change these parameters by changing the constants in the program. I give two versions of the assembler code for PIC16c54 and PIC16f84. You can pick up the coefficients and debug the circuit on PIC16f84, and then switch to a cheaper PIC16c54. Good luck. Soon I'm going to make a website for myself and place a few more devices on PIC processors on it. Including reverb, echo repeater, paging and synthesizer for VHF transceiver. I invite you to cooperate for developments based on PIC.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

A new type of nanorefrigerator 30.05.2017

Classical computers need fans or more powerful systems to dissipate their heat, but quantum computers need high-quality cooling even more so. Unlike the bits of information that traditional computers operate on, quantum bits can be in one more state, the so-called superposition state, when their value is both 0 and 1 at the same time. In order to stay in such a quantum state for a long time, qubits must be isolated from the environment as much as possible, because the slightest interference from the outside will lead to a change in the quantum state and cause errors in quantum calculations. And the qubits, which are maximally isolated from the environment, heat up during operation and require constant cooling.

To solve the problem of cooling qubits in quantum computing systems, Mikko Mottonen and colleagues at Aalto University, Finland, have developed a first-of-its-kind stand-alone cooling device. This device is versatile, it can be used not only in quantum computers, but also in any other devices that use the strange laws and principles of quantum mechanics.

The basis of the cooling device is an energy barrier that separates two channels, one of which is in a state of superconductivity, conducting electrons without resistance, and the second channel is ordinary, having electrical resistance, which slows down the electrons during movement. Only electrons with a sufficiently high energy can jump over the barrier and enter the superconducting highway, which leads them outside the device, the rest of the electrons are left to "push on the sidelines."

But not all low-energy electrons are doomed to "eternal vegetation" in a circuit with ordinary conductivity. Some of them have a fairly high chance of capturing a photon of light circulating in a nearby resonator. In this case, the electron acquires the energy necessary to complete the jump, and the resonator, losing energy, is cooled to a lower temperature.

The principle of operation of such a refrigerator is very similar to a hypothetical phenomenon called Maxwell's Demon. Only unlike Maxwell's demon, the "demon" of the nano-refrigerator pushes more "hot" electrons into the superconducting channel, and cold low-energy electrons remain in the working area of the refrigerator, which effectively absorb energy from the environment.

The next step that scientists intend to take will be to combine a nanorefrigerator with a real qubit. After that, the researchers will find out whether the efficiency of this refrigerator is enough to cool the qubit well and keep it in a certain quantum state for a long time.
