Questions
How big is the Communicator 27mhz PCB?
It measures 100.1 × 99.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Communicator 27mhz use?
230 parts, built around the ESP32-WROOM-32, LM324, CH340G and 74ACT14PC. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Communicator 27mhz KiCad files?
From the cropinghigh/CBModem repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/communicator_27mhz.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/communicator_27mhz.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Communicator 27mhz design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
