Jack, I am with you. I have learned so much— so so much! from this group and from these radios. I am a little bit concerned about spurious signals ?in the manufacturing production line. This is such a fantastic advance that it deserves to be a very clean radio and I’m concerned that we’ve got an issue with the filtering and bleed around. The filters them selves look fantastic! ?I understand this had happened to other firms’ radios as well and so it’s not unheard of with new devices. I’m pretty convinced that we will get it fixed and then I’m looking forward to moving on to working on software, I’m especially fascinated with getting back into digital signal processing?
But I’m just swamped with the high school students I’m teaching right now. Today we had them do their first CW contacts with a roundabout technique using a web SDR. ?They’re doing around six words per minute. I need them up to 15 by winter field day.?

I have been lucky enough to work with my two sBitx rigs (the DE and also the V2) and the uBitx V6 before that. I have learned far more along the way about transmitter and receiver design than I could have any other way. If I want an easy contact I can simply switch on my Icom or Kenwood or Yaesu, but that’s not what I wanted. I have benefited beyond measure from the community of engineers and fellow tinkerers who have helped me. Hopefully I have helped others through my posts as they have walked me through my fits and stops. It has at times been frustrating but all in all I haven’t had this much pleasure in ham radio since I was a teenager going to TV repair shops, taking apart junked tube TV sets and building homebrew rigs. It’s like hiking for days in the mountains. There’s no hot water or wifi, but that’s not the reason to make the trip.?
Enjoy the trip.
