Re: troubleshooting the bitx40 receiver

Kent,

The red wire is just a wire acting as a antenna for injecting some signal into the circuit. The speaker is just hooked up to the BitX40 in normal fashion using the onboard audio amplifier. You could use a simple RF generator and a probe to do the same thing. ?Farhan is just using stray RF noise to test the different stages.

I think we're misunderstanding each other. ? The red wire connects to a speaker.? What does the other end of the speaker connect to? We can't see the wiring in the video, ?so perhaps you're using the speaker circuit on the board to test with?? That's what we're trying to understand.?

I second KF7RSF's comment. ? Can you please tell us what the red wire /speaker connection is you are using? It's not clear on the video.

Ashhar,


In the receive troubleshooting video, what is the unseen end of the red insulated wire connected to? Or nothing?

i have put together a video on troubleshooting the bitx40 receiver. keep the circuit handy while you use the method outlined in the video.
