Re: SDR dongle for spectrum analyzer with signal from Bitx40?
That's the reason for the additional horsepower. I will admit that I'm getting into an area of development that's new to me, but one that I'm very excited about. The goal is a 5" panadapter

Re: SDR dongle for spectrum analyzer with signal from Bitx40?
Jack Any possibility of getting the waterfall display functionality into your next revision of W8TEE TFT? It would make the uBitx a wonderful piece of kit for family outings. -John

It's alive!
It's a mess, but I have my ?BITX working now. I wanted to get it working before I put it in a case which is why there's wires all over the place as I trimmed none yet. That will happen when I move it

Re: uBITX Case
All sorts of ways to do this. If the case is metal, I'd attach the IRF510's directly to the metal case using standard TO220 insulating washers and heat transfer compound. ?The case is the heatsink.

Re: uBITX Case
There have been many posts over the years that talked about making or purchasing suitable cases for various BITX rigs. All involve some amount of measuring and cutting appropriate holes. Simplest case

Re: uBITX Case
The heatsink needs to be insulated from the case. Probably best to leave a little space behind it!

Re: uBITX Case
Thanks for the input everyone I spent a couple minutes just sketching up something really quick based on some of the dimensions. This is a really really rough draft/sketch. *Everything will change*

Re: uBITX Case
I guess from the comments that a pre-punched case sounds really good. To solve the problem of the antenna connector, don't punch it, leave it for us to pick which one to use I like BNC but all my

Re: uBITX Case
Jeff, Since both the uBitx and Bitx40 kits come with a BNC, that's what you should specify. Anyone who absolutely has to have a UHF connector can easily and quickly enlarge the RF connector opening

Re: SDR dongle for spectrum analyzer with signal from Bitx40?
I also own an Elad SDR xcvr and really like it as I can use it without a PC (no fancy display) or with one (very fancy display). The only reason I can see for not using the BITX with one is the cost.

Re: uBITX Case mic connector
A hole for a 4 pin mic in front removes the need for a 3.5mm mic connection on the front. As a compromise, I could easily support a couple 'unassigned' 3.5mm jack holes in the back to allow for

Re: uBITX Case mic connector
I fully support the request for a round 4 pin mic connector hole, front panel. There are so many 4pin mics out there. Additional 3.5mm mic hole, front panel sounds good, too. Too many holes?

Re: uBITX Case
I quite like the idea of a professional-looking case for the uBitx, and would be interested in a case pre-drilled and with cut-outs for the stock radio as shipped. I have no thoughts on BNC vs SO-239,
