I was only on for a few minutes, but Tom VE3THR was booming in here in MA.?

I could hear N4AEI, N2HTT, WI1B, and N4DR. There was also a KE0NEP, but I'm not sure I got the call right.? I asked for a relay to check in and someone heard me, but then some kind of loud buzzing

Re: Teensy 3.5/3.6 upgrade for uBITX
I don't really have a clue regarding the Pi Zero. I do know the Pi Zero is faster, with a bit more RAM. I don't think it would easily replace a NANO, and wouldn't interface easily to the uBITX. Not

The diodes in parallel will up the current capacity but volt drop won't change much. Using schottky diodes will give the lower voltage drop you need.

I was mobile in Northern Virginia and worked a bitx station in Missouri at about 7pm but there was strong qsb as he was very strong then quickly went down to barely readable.

Hi Jim,?
what are your thoughts on doing the same with the Raspberry Pi Zero boards? in some areas such as my own they can be purchased for as little as $5 USD.?

Can anyone provide a picture on the location of K3 pins 1 and 5 on the circuit board? The schematic pin numbers do not match the manufacturers data sheet.

Heard Glen KE0NXP talking with WA4THR, both were 5x7. I think I heard VE3THR, but kinda down in the mud.
I didn't jump in because my BITX is in pieces on the bench.

The band seems to be pretty good right now, but I couldn't make anyone out
on 7277. I called on 7277 and 7177 several times, both at 7:20 PM ET and
at 7:35 PM ET.

Re: Erratic tuning with my new uBitx
Hi Chris,
It surely sounds like a frequency calibration problem, but it is also uncertain as to which piece of equipment contributes more to the error, i.e. the ¦Ì BITX or your frequency

Re: Low mic gain, was, show your mic
My bitx40 really improved when I put a replacement mic in it. One day I was not getting any signal out of the transmitter. Tracked it back to the mic which was dead. Originally it worked for a month.

The thing in the instructions that many people miss is the last instruction
