Hey Curt,
I've got a V5.
Which device(s) in the Tx amplifier chain were you referring to?? I have not replaced any amps at all, this is my first "on-board" mod to the uBITX (I have previously installed the kit-projects AGC and BCI filter).? I see in the V5 bidi amplifiers there are BFR93W's, versus 2N3904 in the V4, so I'm guessing maybe the last thing you were referring to is moot.
In truth, I haven't actually measured my V5 output yet (waiting on my watt/SWR/antenna tuner) so I probably shouldn't go changing anything quite yet regardless.? But I definitely want to make sure I'm getting good power out at least down thru 20 meters--I'm using an attic antenna, would like to get whatever oomf out of the radio I can!
