The Minitiouner hardware is designed for easy home construction, uses only leaded components and consists of the 3 main components.
Whilst the project has previously used several tuner types and a version 1 PCB and adapter cards, new builders should only use the version 2 PCB described on this page and the Serit tuner described here.
To build the unit you only need to buy the following and then download the free MiniTioune software.
- The USB interface is available ready programmed from the MiniTiouner category in the BATC shop.
- The version 2 main PCB can be bought from the BATC shop after May 5th 2017.
- The Serit tuner or NIM covering 143 - 2450 MHz will be available from the BATC shop from early May 2017.
- The unit uses an MCP1826 1v regulator, which can be hard to find and is available from the BATC shop.
All other components such as Rs and Cs are available from normal suppliers.
