Please visit my page.Assembled New Soft66AD is arriving. New Soft66Lite kit is released now.

SOFT66RF

Features

4 band pass filter on PCB(basic type has one BPF for 40m band)
Balan for SWL(optional)
all parts are lead type.
more sensitivity on higher band with RF amplifire on PCB.
connectivity with DDS-34andDDS-BASE

NOTE:SMA Jack is not including.

Soft66RF is newest version of Soft66 series. Soft66RF have 4 band pass filter with micro inductor.You do not need to wind troido core.It is easy assembling. Default frequency is 7.056MHz.Please ask me another frequency.
example: you want to recieve 7.02MHz ->28.08MHz
14.12MHz 14.7456MHz 16.9344MHz 20.0MHz 22.684MHz 28.08MHz 28.12MHz 28.16MHz 28.6363MHz 3.520MHz 42.8MHz 43.1MHz 43.4MHz 50.150MHz 56.448MHz 7.003MHz 7.005MHz 7.01MHz($2USD each)

Soft66RF have 2 type of power line. NJM2068 is working at 9V. It is more clear signals. Soft66RF is more sensitive with J310 RF amplifire at high band.

Connecting DDS-34 or DDS-BASE, Soft66RF become powerfull SW radio up to 30MHz. If you select DDS-BASE, there is less spurius.

you can use long wire antenna adding balan on PCB for SWL user. It is very usefull on AM receiving.

If you have question. please mail to ja7tdo<atmark>zao.jp
Soft66 is one of the GAS project.SOFT66is release on open source design.

　new version(red pcb)

attatch DDS-34B to Soft66RF

first, insert 14pin IC socket into IC5. second, remove solder of SJ4.

instruction for Soft66RF(basic type)

1.Check your packing

Please check your packet according to PartsList.

2.setting jumper

first, please jumper ON with solder side of PCB.

Please jumper ON SJ4.

If you receive low band, I reccomend you SJ3 is ON. It is no need to build RF block.

3.Assembling

Please assemble components according to this image.You can look larger image with right click and view image.

Please note SMA Jack is NOT including.

You can add balan for long wire antenna. Please use T37-43. winding 11 turns with 0.23mm or 0.26mm wire to trifiler.
A,B,C is silk mark on PCB.

4.Connecting to PC

Please connecting Jack to your PC Line input. Plug DC power about 12V to 20V.
You need also install Rocky or SDRadio.

5.optional BPF

It is enable to add optional 3BPF on Soft66RF.Please look inductor and capacitor value.
