Re: Different Encoder
I used one of those on a CB-to-10 mod I had done. I had to modify the software to ignore some pulses from it 'cuze it was too sensitive. I made the knob for it out of 2.5" aluminum round bar. Give

Re: Power supply fuses
I assume you were vaguely pointing in the direction of the relay trick, powering the coil through a diode. That's a good solution, one I might use for a KW rig someday Or even 100 Watts. Though I'd

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

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: 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: 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.
