Overview

Hl2 6xvtr is an open-source printed circuit board by m5evt, from the m5evt/hl2_xvtr repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 100 × 49.9 mm with 108 parts on 58 nets, routed with 370 tracks and 112 vias.

It is built around the ADE-1H+, 74LVC1G04Z and 1N4148W, with the SI2309, BC807 and RCJ-041 among its other parts. Its parts include 51 capacitors, 18 inductors, 17 resistors, 8 connectors and 7 ICs.

Hermes-Lite 2 transverter companion card

Designed with the same footprint as the N2ADR filter board, this companion card is to be coupled to the Hermes-Lite 2 SDR transceiver. The transverter clock is designed to be sourced from the HL2 clock outputs. Power output is around 20 dBm and an amplifier will need to be used with this.

The design has been built and tested on both 6m and 2m.

Questions

How big is the Hl2 6xvtr PCB?

It measures 100 × 49.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hl2 6xvtr use?

108 parts, built around the ADE-1H+, 74LVC1G04Z, 1N4148W and SI2309. 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 Hl2 6xvtr KiCad files?

From the m5evt/hl2_xvtr repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/hl2_6xvtr.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hl2 6xvtr design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask m5evt before reusing the design.
