Re: LPF problem on sbitx V2 (V3) with very low power on 17M!


 

Congratulations, Jack!??Persistence pays off.??

When checking the voltage spec on the capacitors, remember that the scope is measuring peak to peak, so the capacitor rating needs to be greater than 1/2 of this value.? You may want to replace the discs with COG parts at some point, though I believe an LPF filter is not as critical as other uses.??

Most disc caps are rated for 50 volts so they may be over-stressed.? Many 100 volts and higher SMD in various sizes and values are available on Mouser.??

I would also break out the TinySA Ultra to check for signal purity before returning to the air.
