Inexpensive capacitor measurements...
Hi Since Farhan's stated original intent in designing the BITX20 was to provide an inexpensive transceiver, maybe it would be appropriate to show BITX builders an inexpensive way to measure unmarked

Toriod Q
Has anyone measured the Q of the toriods? I wondered whether it mattered too much provided the winding details were observed. However care has to be taken with the coating materials. There is an

Re: Toroids have legs! ;-)
Bharat The turns on that coil were sloppy because I got tired of winding them. There are 150 turns of #42 wire on that coil. While it does work at about the intended inductance I would probably be

Re: Toroids have legs! ;-)
Hi, This is indeed a good idea. I have a question - basic becuse I'm very new to this field! I noticed that some of the turns are closely wound while some are not. How does this affect the

Re: Toroids have legs! ;-)
OK, those are cute. And way cool, ESPECIALLY the parallel LC config that uses the cap's legs for termination and mounting. I love this place. Jim N6OTQ

Toroids have legs! ;-)
Hi In converting the BITX20 design for building my BITX40 transceiver I found myself 'experimenting' with several different sets of air-core toroid inductors. Soldering, removing, & re-soldering

Re: Trifilar Twister Tool
Hans When working with really small wire (ie. you don't have anything better to work with!) try twisting two or even three conductors together and use this as one wire to wind your toroid coils.

Re: Trifilar Twister Tool
Nice one Arv! Now we're on the subject I'll share my own method and experiences in case it helps anyone. I don't have available nice new spools of wire labelled 28 or 32 swg. I do have a junk

Hi All What a great idea ... wish I had thought of it my self -- a bit more control than using an electric drill !! Charles G4VSZ

Trifilar Twister Tool
Hi Twisting the wires together for winding trifilar inductors is made easier with a simple tool built for that purpose. A picture of my "Trifilar Twister Tool" is attached to this email. A copy of

Re: Bitx 20, Help me!
Hello again Chris, If you want to follow the "from scrap" route, you'd better use 8.86 MHz crystals from defunct color TV sets or the 14.318 MHz ones from old and/or defunct PC motherboards...

Re: using the BITX on RTTY
No problem! My favourite varicap is a standard 5mm red LED. Have a look at my 30m QRSS beacon project http://www.hanssummers.com/radio/qrss/index.htm which used one for the frequency shifting to

Re: Bitx 20, Help me!
Hi! In order to use 4.915mhz xtals for SSB filter I suggest taking a look at SSB mods for K1 http://it.geocities.com/giulianoi0cg/k1_page.html Or the SSB adaptor schematics of K2 rig. Both use

Re: Inductance Meter
the VFO of BITX20 has an interesting story. it is actually my inductance meter! looking at the VFO, if you removed the trimmer, it becomes a test oscillator that iuse at all times. this idea is due

Re: Bitx 20, Help me!
Hi Juanjo, SSB and sets have read lower and There are more reasons for making the filter in the range 10 to 12 MHz, one for example is that lower IF x-tal ladder filters are difficult for SSB, for
