did you check whether Q90 gets warm/hot after mods?

Last time I did some tx checking on CW and Q 911,912, 92, 93, 96 and 97 were getting warm after about 1 minute.

Supply was 11.64V, no supply to PA.

Haven't had time to check it on the air.

peeps,

28 Mhz is unusually open for the last one week. I realized that our ubitx output is woefully low. Here is a fix that I made today, if some of you can try it out, let me know if it works as well.

Step #1 Increase the predriver gain towards the higher frequencies

The predriver Q90 has a emitter degeneration capacitor C81 (0.1uf) and and R83 (10 ohms). I replaced the C81 with a 470 pf and the R83 with 5 ohms. With this, the emitter reactance decreases with increasing frequency, yielding higher gain beyond 14 MHz.

Step #2 Take off the feedback from the IRF510s.?

Just remove the R261, R262 (both are 220 ohms) to open up the gain.

Let me know if this mod is replicable?
