Re: Teensy 3.5/3.6 upgrade for uBITX
The one big difference in this application between the Raspberry Pi and a micro-controller like the Teensy and the Arduinos is how much overhead the OS imposes. Linux is a full blown consumer OS and

Re: show your mic
Lee It will be interesting to see, and hear, how that T-32 carbon button microphone works with the BITX. It may need some attenuation because carbon microphones usually output a fairly high level

Re: #ubitx SSM2167 mic compressor speaker feedback issue - resolved #ubitx
Hello Alan, yes I have added a little 4 pin molex connector for D7 (T/R), the two I2C bus lines and +5V for my 2nd Arduino. All the best, 73, John

All true. As for impairments¡­blindness is, paradoxically, no big deal and also not for wimps :-) And ham radio has been great in a lot of respects, including in travel to other states and other

Poor Reception
Poor reception... My receiver was one of the first to ship. I have made no modifications to it. The vfo seems to be about 2800 Hz off. My Drake 2B receives a signals with one foot of wire attached to

Re: Teensy 3.5/3.6 upgrade for uBITX
The uBITX was designed to use the pre-existing Raduino board. My opinion on a fresh start would be to put the Si5351A directly on the uBITX board, so only the I2C digital pins would need to be routed.

Re: Practical CW Operation? #ubitxcw
Buddy: There are some very interesting filters available in software where you can not only set the "center" frequency, but also the edges where the skirt "knees" are located. When I'm listening to

Re: Practical CW Operation? #ubitxcw
Hey Gordon, Agreed about the super duper narrow filters. With all of the ways to crank down the bandwidth and peak the audio and reduce the noise and what not that are on my KX3, I rarely use much of

Re: Practical CW Operation? #ubitxcw
The uBitx works well enough as a CW rig out of the box if you have clean enough key contacts. Here's an old post regarding possible enhancements: ? ??/g/BITX20/message/36947 The

Re: Practical CW Operation? #ubitxcw

Re: Practical CW Operation? #ubitxcw
Ehhh! Listening to cw with a 2.someKHz filter is good for you! It will hone your cw listening skills and let you learn to pick the right signal out :-) In all seriousness, Gordon¡¯s suggestion of

Re: Teensy 3.5/3.6 upgrade for uBITX
I doubt there's any non-volatile memory on the RPi other than the SD card, as that involves more process steps when building a CPU chip. Here's an 8 Gbyte SD card for

Practical CW Operation? #ubitxcw
I've heard that the ubitx doesn't work very well for CW due to being too wide in the receiving end. How are some of you correcting this? Particularly, how can someone who can handle a soldering iron
