Good afternoon all.
I've finally got a Bitx40 on the air! Another local ham had acquired a
Raduino version and decided he had too many projects to get it going so
he sold it to me for just under cost. I swapped it out with the original
version Bitx40 in the case that I'd already made and hooked it up as
directed. It appears to be working exactly as designed. Phew! It's been
a long time getting something on the air! Attached are a couple of
photos of the completed unit. The only thing I'm not keen on is the
travel of the pot before it switches to 100 kHz steps. Has anyone had
any success with mods that folks have done to give more travel? I tried
a 1meg pot but it didn't seem to make much difference. Aside from that,
I'm thrilled to have it on the air.
I'll keep working on the original non-radiuno version, but at least it's
not keeping me from getting contacts. I made a couple yesterday
immediately after finishing the build.
All the best!
