Re: I need a V3 or V4 uBitx board.
Joel, The first thing I would do is find the trace you burnt on the schematic. Then I would look at the steps that you took to install the mod and see if/how they are related. Let us know what you

Re: I need a V3 or V4 uBitx board.
No worries, Joel! Although I am sorry that it happened. The trace appears at first glance to be the TX trace. If it were cut in the wrong place and jumpered to the +12 volt bus then you were probably

Re: I need a V3 or V4 uBitx board.
Easy enough to foul up like that, I've done worse. More than once. Well worth an hour or two of trying to chase this down. I'd expect it to be repairable. The trace you burned is the TX +12v rail. My

Remi, OK, I just did the same test. Brand new, just out of the box, 12.5 volt source. I get 61.5 milliamps. De-power. Unplug the display. I get 40.8 milliamps when repowered. -Don

Unplug the display. Then how much does the main Raduino board draw? I measured mine (crudely though, at the bottom end of my power supply's ammeter) at 60ma. Verify that the voltage out of the LM7805

I need a V3 or V4 uBitx board.
I debated on whether I would admit to being this stupid to the group, but while fitting the click fix board to my perfectly working uBitx all mounted in a custom enclosure, I vaporized a trace on the

If I just power up my raduino it draws about 100ma. nothing else connected, the display works, backlight is on. Without the display, more like 60ma.? Most of that is probably backlight.

Re: Blown (socketed) TDA2822?
Some of the clones are going for the lowest possible price, and fab/qc is as cheap as possible. They work well enough for some applications when powered from 5 or 6v. But depending on where that die

Remi F1MQJ- If power consumption is a problem, there are regulator boards that can be had/made that use a torrid to buck-boost the voltage. Much higher in efficiency than a 7805. I have heard a claim

Hi! Farhan and others, I feel spurii are result of the first mixer being over driven by a large margin. A rough estimate indicates that the 45MHz input to the? 1st mixer is in vicinity of 0 to +1

It appears that there are multiple versions of the TA2822 audio amplifier, by several different manufacturers. http://www.alldatasheet.com/view.jsp?Searchword=TDA2822M Some are rated 3V to 15 or 16V
