== Features ==
 
 
* Three modules
 
** [http://qrp-labs.com/receiver QRP Labs High Performance Receiver Module]
 
*** Direct Conversion Receiver
 
*** Uses a Quadrature Sampling Detector (QSD), also known as a Tayloe Detector
 
*** [https://www.onsemi.com/pdf/datasheet/fst3253-d.pdf FST3253] Mixer is arranged as a double-balanced mixer for maximum performance
 
*** Circuit to mute receiver during transmit
 
*** [https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm4562.pdf Low noise LM4562 op-amps] are used in instrumentation amplifier configuration to provide excellent common mode noise rejection
 
*** The audio output of the module is isolated using two 600:600-ohm transformers to reduce or eliminate the ground loop problems which can easily occur in SDR systems
 
*** The module is designed to directly drive a stereo input sound-card or with a polyphase filter card
 
*** Receiver board has a socket for the standard QRP Labs Band Pass Filter kit which can be routed to an external bandpass filter switch card
 
*** The receiver requires a local oscillator (LO) input at 4x the receive frequency
 
**** Using [[VFO-003]] with [https://github.com/land-boards/lb-Arduino-Code/tree/master/LBCards/VFO-003_4X 4x output software option]
 
*** [http://qrp-labs.com/images/receiver/receiver2.pdf Receiver Build instructions]
 
** [[RF Band Pass Filters|QRP Labs Band Pass Filter]]
 
*** Can be used with a [https://qrp-labs.com/ultimatelpf.html Switched Bandpass filter board] for multiband operation
 
*** [http://qrp-labs.com/bpfkit.html 10/15/20/40/80M QRP Labs Band Pass Filter Kits]
 
*** [https://qrp-labs.com/images/bpfkit/bpf2.pdf Band Pass Filter Build instructions]
 
** [https://qrp-labs.com/polyphase QRP Labs Polyphase filter]
 
*** Polyphase network plug-in module kit cancels the unwanted sideband and produces a single sideband (SSB) output
