Re: SMD 20M BITX20


Michael Luft
 

Thank you Arv :)
My understanding is ?that the BITX, been a QRP radio and very much depended on the performances of the antenna, could be more satisfactory on the 20 Meters band, as the antennas for this frequency are considerably smaller, and much of us, the hams, are not very welcome among our nigbores anyway....
So, is there a SMD 20 Meter BITX, assembled or not I can buy??
reading most of the posts, I couldn't find any discussion about the trend to stick to the 40 Metres band BITX.

The original BITX20 is getting rather old.? After several thousand posts
there may not be much more to be said about that design.? There are
still kits available for BITX-xx transceivers, but many who built it did so
from junk-box parts which allowed a great many modifications, some of
which have been included in present day BITX-xx builds and products.

If you scroll back into the older posts on the discussion group you will
find those older BITX-xx related posts.?

Single-band BITX transceivers have been built for almost all the HF and
LF bands.? If you are interested in building your own BITX from scratch,
you can benefit from learning to use a Spice Circuit Simulator ( many use
LTSpice, free from Linear Technology Systems) as a way to visualize how
each individual stage of the BITX actually works, and to play what-if
games with the design.?

Hello :)

Few qustions.

This groups started as BITX20 but actualy ?became BITX40. what is wrong with the BITX20? why I cant see any posts concerning the BITX20 hardware?

Personaly, 20 Meter band is my favorite, but I cant find enough info about a real SMD BITX20.

Any Info will be very apriciated!! :)
