I have just built a uBITX with standard components (no SMD's) from scratch on a PCB I designed - it works well.? I have now designed another PCB which incorporates the Arduino NANO and the the Si5351 shield and I'm just waiting for the PCB's to arrive and then I will start assembling.? I made some changes to the circuit to allow for a dynamic microphone and the use of screened TOKO cols for the 30MHz lowpass filter, I also changed the coupling arrangement to the 45MHz filter.
I have attached a picture of the original PCB and a PDF of the new layout incorporating the Arduino and Si5351
Maybe one day I will play with SMT but for now standard components are still easily available ! ? 73's - Peter M0HYT
