I¡¯m sure an audio AGC and a 16x2 display works fine for you. ?The 510¡¯s in the output too. ?Its ultimate in simplicity. ?For me, i prefer a little technology and am not so concerned about hobo costs. ?Im also in an area where the IF chain can easily overload from all of the radio activity so a decent AGC is key to making it useful. Ive even considered using a preselector (which i have ?incorporated on other radios ive built).?

I had been ignoring it mostly because I prefer the simplicity of a stock uBitx with the 16x2 display.
I'm not really keen on the TFT screen of the v6 either.
Likely a minority opinion here.

The HyCas is a fine IF amp, but I wouldn't consider using it on a uBitx.
The primary charm of the uBitx is simplicity.
Patching in a HyCas would double the parts count of the radio.

If I was building a no-compromise radio, the HyCas may well be in it.
On the uBitx, it seems absurd.

Didn't realize the JackAl board included the HyCas IF strip for use in the uBitx.
