Hello All,

I worked hard in coding to get the option
of modifying the $GPRMC string working in

my GPS.exe program.

I am still not ready with the DDE link stuff.

DDE is obsolete Dynamic Data Exchange stuff but
because my SoundDoppler en GPS are written in it I have to get it working.

Of cource I also will write this option in my New SoundDopplerNet.exe

But thats not finished / working yet.

I show you here a screen dump af a very intresting and good working

VHF soft-antenna-switcher for the doppler.

That is the datong doppler circuit on two boards.

All signals is done is through 1 coax cable witch does
do the RF, DC-powersupply and Reference for switching the antennas.
Every antenna has a wide band RF amplifier and then the output is fed throug a PIN diode
to the summer.

The advantage is that now you cannot hear in a nearby reciever the commutating
antenna whips acting as reflectors and because ist softswitching
instead of hard switching you can hear less loud stations.

Cool job

May I ask what are the pcb sizes and hole locations are you using?
I am currently working on pcb assemblies, holes, fixing arrangements etc, hence my curiosity.

Hello All,

Here I post a picture off the Input XYscoop found in SoundDoppler.exe

The upper line is not quite a sinus but a little distorted with
the SuperSimpleSoundDoppler design.

I want some hints how to improve the sinus with minimal extra parts.

and enough output to drive the soundcard line input.

I know my software only detects the zerocrosses to get the frequency and antenna 1 position.
But it looks not nice.

Hello All,


The PCB sizes of the datong antenna switch are about 10 bij 10 cm

They are put above each other and connected through wit some wires.

I have not made the PCB myself I did have bought some years ago
Just the Prints.

Thank you, 10cm X 10cm seems to be very popular naturally.
