    The CDG2000 Transceiver

    This site provides supporting material to the RSGB series of articles on the CDG2000 transceiver. The aim is to provide the reader with the supporting text to the series either to explore issues in more depth or to provide additional material such as user guides, software, pcb artwork and performance data. It will be extended as the series progresses in RadCom.

    All materials provided here are copyright Dave Roberts G8KBB, George Fare G3OGQ and Colin Horrabin G3SBI. In all cases, materials are provided for the purpose of self education and training in Amateur Radio. No use may be make for commercial purposes without permission of the authors. PCBs and some components are available from the authors.
