    Build a simple passive CW audio filter with a handful of components. You can always turn it into an active CW bandpass filter if used with a simple audio amplifier.

    7:41 someone told me a fly have ability to travel through monitor to any other place in the world and back
    Nice construction - clear, rugged and simple. I guess resistor not only bypasses but also affects the coil Q

      You are right on the flies hahaha. They are so annoying... but I can't put up with mother nature... 🤣. On the potentiometer, technically yes it should affect the Q of the inductor and actually the Q of the entire filter. I still can't believe how effective it is though. 73, YO6DXE

    I love the simplicity of this. sounds like it's working perfectly.
    I think I should make one of those.

    Ciprian, you're right. So simple and very effective. Many years ago I installed such a filter in my station loudspeaker. Years after that I sold the device. You've made me install such a filter again in the loudspeaker of my current station 🙂

      Hehehe. Indeed.. I am also impressed on how well it works. I want to build an audio amplifier to use it with simple low audio output transceivers and have this filter incorporated into the audio amplifier. I think it would be nice to have some filtering especially that simple transceivers are wide open on the input. Glad you also like it. 73, YO6DXE

    The nice thing about a passive filter is that there is minimal ringing. It's just a clean sound.

      Yes... and it works really well comparing to some other schematics I found based on transistors or IC's. 73, YO6DXE

    A pcb como caixa ficou legal, é ótimo para RF tem uma boa área de terra, pra mim seria mais barato usar chapa de alumínio, se bem que essa montagem é pequena e usa pouca pcb. Eu precisei enrolar um indutor de 100mH para um filtro de 5kHz para um regen uma vez, mas usei aquela bobina pequena de ferrite usada nos filtros de saída dos amplificadores classe D, deu bastante trabalho enrolar num carretel tão pequeno. 73.

    • @dxexplorer
      @dxexplorer  Месяц назад +1

      Eu também queria enrolar o indutor em algum toróide primeiro... mas decidi desistir depois das primeiras 80 voltas... foi um pesadelo jajaja. Os telefones antigos tinham indutores de 77mH dentro, quero dizer, os analógicos. Infelizmente não tenho nenhum desses 🤣. O recinto, inicialmente eu queria fazer em alumínio e madeira, mas saí de casa recentemente e estou morando em um trailer no momento... então não tenho ideia de que caixa estão minhas coisas 🤣. 73, YO6DXE e tenha um fim de semana incrível.

    Your receiver is drifting like crazy.

      @dxexplorer  Месяц назад +1

      Is the Little Roo. It usually does that when I turn it on until it warms up then it becomes more stable in frequency. But is not just the receiver, the propagation is acting strange as well having the signals in and out all the time. 73, YO6DXE

      @@dxexplorer Get a whole bunch of misc mains transformers, old neon light ballasts and other inductive parts, these normally have a very high inductance (100's of millihenries up to several Henries) which are great for making audio filters, especially passive ones. The other advantage of a mains transformer is that it has a primary and secondary winding, these will be closely coupled so you could use say the primary in the actual main circuit and then resonate the secondary with caps to give you even more selectivity. Depending on the design, the high ohmic loses (and lower Q) may actually not be a problem, especially if the filter is designed for a lower impedance.

    • @dxexplorer
      @dxexplorer  Месяц назад

      I tried some in the past but I think the Q of those transformers is not as high as the one with magnetic material as a core, so they were not as sharp. The other disadvantage if using the primary of the transformer is that it also has quite some resistance, so that also mean loosing a lot of AF signal. But when nothing else is available... they are better than nothing )). But now I am collecting these ferite cores for transformers that I find in old filters and keep them in case I want to make more custom inductors as this one. They seem to work fantastic and they don't require such a high number of turns for a certain inductance compared to a regular transformer with metallic core. 73, YO6DXE

    • @paulov9626
      @paulov9626 Месяц назад +1

      @@dxexplorer Yep, I agree with you that the DC resistance will act against you in some configuration, especially if the winding is in series with the audio. Where they are useful is in parallel type filters such as notches. The primary goes from the audio to ground via a series capacitor to resonate it at the unwanted frequency/ies and on the secondary, you resonate with another cap (but in parallel) to "suck" out even more of the unwanted range. A series potentiometer, then allows for adjustment of how much notching you require.

    • @dxexplorer
      @dxexplorer  Месяц назад

      I never tried one of those but I have the feeling that due to the high number of turns in the primary, you would have a lot of loses in the audio signal. Also the Q of the inductor is a lot lower so the filter would not be as sharp. Is better if you find some magnetic core in some old power supply as I did and just make one. Better results for sure. 73, YO6DXE
