S-meter and output power level indicator for Viola radio station

The control signal of the S-meter is taken from the microcircuit MS2 of the low-frequency unit U4, which includes the sensor amplifier "CHANNEL" and the detector, the voltage of which is used in the radio station to open the key of the indicator of the call and signaling unit. This voltage through the quenching resistor R1 and the diode VD1, which serves to prevent the positive voltage from the power level indicator detector (VD2) from entering the MC2 microcircuit, is fed to the PA1 microammeter. The transmitter output power level indicator consists of a sensor L1 (two turns of insulated wire around the antenna terminal), a detector VD2, a smoothing capacitor C1 and a quenching resistor R2.

Microammeter RA1 - M476 / 3 with a total deflection current of the arrow 100 μA (from the tape recorder "Romantic-3"). The power indicator detector is mounted directly at the antenna output, and the R1 and VD1 elements are installed on the board of the low-frequency unit U4 from the side of the printed conductors. The RA1 device is installed in the control panel block A4. The communication line with the microammeter RA1 is carried out through the available free contacts 10, 11, 12 of the control panel connector Ш1.

The establishment of the indicator is as follows: if, when receiving powerful stations, the arrow of the PA1 device goes off scale, then you should select a resistor R1 of greater resistance. When the arrow goes off scale during transmission, similar actions should be performed with the resistor R2.

Diode VD1 can probably be excluded from the circuit, but since the author does not have an internal circuit diagram of the MC2 microcircuit, he had to be installed (to play it safe) in order to avoid unpleasant surprises.

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of ​​controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog ​​owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

Xiaomi CW500 PTZ surveillance camera 02.03.2024

Xiaomi has introduced a new outdoor PTZ camera, CW500, designed to provide a reliable video surveillance system. PTZ is an abbreviation for pan, tilt and zoom.

The Xiaomi CW500 PTZ camera is a universal solution for street video surveillance, with wide functionality and an affordable price. Its artificial intelligence capabilities and security make it an attractive choice for securing premises and areas.

The CW500 camera features a 5-megapixel 3K sensor and an f/1,6 aperture lens. It supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) and has an intelligent full-color night vision system that provides color images in low light.

This camera has artificial intelligence capabilities to detect objects such as people and cars, and sends real-time notifications while storing recordings. There is also a built-in sound and light alarm to prevent possible incidents.

The Xiaomi CW500 PTZ camera supports Wi-Fi 6 for stable high-definition video transmission and is equipped with a Mi Home security chip. In addition, it meets the IP66 protection standard.

The price of the novelty is $40.
