Power supply fuses
Reversing diodes shorting/ blowing fuses and diodes in series with power leads, brute force, works but is quite unnecessary. See more far more elegant solutions at ubitx.net ( http://ubitx.net ). ?

LM386 Hiss Suppression on the BITX40 #bitx40
If you notice a lot of high-frequency hiss in the receive audio on your BITX40 there is a simple remedy for this. (This might be more noticeable if use headphones while operating.)? There is a little

Different Encoder
I have been looking into using a different encoder, I have an optical 400ppr which is very smooth (fresh from China) looks to be good quality but is close to 2 inches in diameter. I ran across a neat

Re: Power supply fuses
I'd put that fuse in the +12 line first.? Easy to imagine supply ground having an alternate path through house wiring and RF ground rods, vehicle sheet metal, etc.? I believe Allison once said she

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
Jerry, I've prototyped things for 55 years. It's why I like Surfboards so much. I might try LT-Spice someday again if I ever get any spare time. My ubitx is built in a U-type case, a U bottom matched

Re: CW transmit bandwidth #ubitxcw #ubitx
I agree with Jerry that it sounds like maybe the CW keying is too sharp. ?That would explain a wider than expected bandwidth.? I haven't really looked at the uBITX schematic in any detail so I

Re: Power supply fuses
In the event that the power supply voltage is reversed, the reverse polarity protection diode, as suggested by HFSignals, will short circuit the power supply.? If the power supply has a small enough

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
As Allison says, the simulation and the real world won't always agree. For example, like most spice simulators, it simulates the normally used region and doesn't bother with bounds checking. So the

Re: Power supply fuses
All that PA-PWR goes to is the IRF510 drains. There's an intrinsic diode from source to drain inside the IRF510 that will? suck all the PA-PWR you care to give it if that supply line gets reversed.

I think that bridge rectifier is a bad idea. Leaves your rig antenna port ground a diode drop away from your power supply ground. A single schottky power diode in series with the supply coming into
