12vDC wiring and hookup
I am pacing the house waiting for my Bitx40 to arrive (we. Should be mere days away now) and looking over the build plans. I am looking for some clarification on the 12v power. From the power jack do

Re: BITX attenuator
Hi Peter,
Thanks for this forwarded message!
So I noticed my first mistake: crystal filter has ~200 ohms Zin/Zout - not 50, as I thought before.
Ok, so that means, attenuator has right Zin/Zout,

Re: BITX attenuator
Rafal,
John posted this in Feb. If you have not seen it it may be of interest to you.
Yes, it is good to try to make improvements to a design.
Best regards,

Re: Changing frequency display
Sorry, calculation error:
For a range of 400kHz we would need 3 extra bits, so we would need to take 4^3= *64* samples and average the *64* measurements.
The expense of this approach however is that

Re: Changing frequency display
Another idea to increase the frequency step resolution would be to use "oversampling".
The nano's ADC has a 10-bit precision, this gives a range of 0-1023 steps for 50kHz. If we want to cover 200 kHz

Re: BITX attenuator
Hi Peter,
Thanks for reply!
Sure. That's clear and even more - that's the whole beauty in this compromise design that it is so simple and it works! :-)
But... even in such simple design, if there is

The windings of T7 would have got damaged with high current, the trifilar would have shorted. Try a rewind!

Re: MAR-3SM+ and new display/VFO board coming
Jack
Is there a group for discussing the analyzer? Wondering if any other component adjustments were required for the MAR-3SM+.

Using switching power supply....
I wish to use switching power supply.
because I don't have power supply yet. but I can find to buy cheap switching power supply.
I had know that the switching power supply make a lot of noise.

Re: Changing frequency display
I am not sure that would be possible, as the ultimate frequency step resolution is determined by the A/D input - 1024 steps maximum. The only way to cover a wider range would be to change the step

go to sketch, then include library, then manage libraries. ?Search for si5351. ?choose Etherkit si5351. ?Make sure you choose version 1.0.0 ?That is how I got it to work.

Re: Letting the smoke out
I guess the 7805 regulator that provides the bias for the transmitter is
blown. are you getting bias on the gate of the IRF510 when you press the
PTT?

Re: Letting the smoke out
Trace the track from IRF drain through L8 I am willing to bet L8 is fried or track burnt.
If your 10A fuse blew then the PCB tracks didn't have a chance!

Re: Letting the smoke out
there's a 5 v regulator-U3 next to Rv1. Carefully check for output on U3.
Also maybe the Rv1 got fried.
If you replace Rv1 put a tick mark where the old one is set or measure for
ohms.
You need a
