Hello all,
Looked through the archives and see many complex (for me) topics covered, so this one should be simple -- for someone else on this list, that is.
Built an earlier, through-the-hole BitX 20 kit (QRPKits.Com) for someone. ?Looks great! ?Doesn't work great, however.
Problems:?
1.) Received SSB signal audio fairly weak, but nice strong birdie on ~14.300. ?Audio stage appears pretty functional with 'finger test' on components.
2.) PTT switch produces nice strong 9 watt carrier. ?But this isn't supposed to be an AM rig. ?What's up with that, please?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. There are three of us trying to figure this out, all older hams, and not one of us has a clue.
Thank you,
72/73,
Don
