A small QRP radio for 30 meters.
The MiniHF is a QRP transceiver for 30 meters. It does one band and it does it well. The whole point is to have a dedicated portable HF radio you can toss in a bag and take to a summit, a park, wherever.
The firmware is open source. You can see how it works, change things, or contribute back. No black boxes.
Still prototyping, but getting close to a final product.
What makes the MiniHF different.
One band, done well. The MiniHF does 30 meters and nothing else. Clean QRP operation on 10.1 MHz without the bloat.
Small enough to throw in a bag and forget about until you need it. Great for SOTA, POTA, camping, whatever.
A few watts is all you get. If you're the kind of person who thinks that's a feature and not a limitation, this radio is for you.
I use this stuff. I designed it because I wanted it to exist. Every choice comes from actually operating in the field.
All the firmware is open source. Read it, change it, learn from it, send a PR. It's yours.
There's a GPS module built in for grid square, logging, and time sync. One less thing to carry.
Common questions about the MiniHF.
A small QRP transceiver for the 30-meter band. It has open source firmware, a built-in GPS, and it's small enough to take anywhere. Mostly aimed at SOTA/POTA/field ops people.
Not yet. But soon.
Yeah, fully. You can read it, fork it, change it, contribute back, whatever you want.
Just 30 meters (10.1 MHz). One band, done well. No compromises trying to cover everything.
I dont have the equipment to measure it yet but simulations suggest around 1-5 watts at the rated current of the components. But the internal regulator allows for it to go up to 22 watts.
