Re: uBitx Antenna

I like that statement. Was just reading an "authoritative" article repeating the standard "maximum power is transferred when the load matches the transmitter impedance" and that was why you had to

Re: uBitx Antenna
#ubitx-help
SWR and Wattmeters made for CB are often worthless in the ham bands, unless you're only using 10M. I picked up a Firebird SWR/Wattmeter a while back that was supposed to be good for 1.8-30 MHz. HAR!

Great Work GLENN! My take, if it works, I'lll add it to my board offerings, say $1, or free with a LPF relay board.... 73 Nick VK4PP

Re: uBitX controller issues
Bill Thanks for the reply. Someone told me how to check the voltages along the circuit path. Found a bad solder joint. (Damn trifocals ain¡¯t as good as young eyes!). Repaired the solder and fixed

Re: Simple spur fix
Hi Nick, I made a simple single sided PCB for my install, but not installed yet. I used ~0.2mm for the filter side winding (7T)? and ~0.5mm for the Low Z? winding (2T) to give the install a bit of

Re: uBitx Antenna

Dan, a CB swr meter will probably give you an incorrect reading on any band except maybe 15 or 10 meters. A nice, relatively inexpensive new SWR meter is the MFJ-818, correctly constructed for all the

Re: K5BCQ uBITX Relay Switched LPF/BPF board
Kee¡¯s, are you referring to relay K3 that is used to switch M1 and M2. Is that relay on your board now or are you revising your board to include it. Skip Davis, NC9O

Re: uBitx Antenna

If I may add to the conversation - my experience of using CB meters is if they're the parallel-strip kind (very common), they may loose some sensitivity at the low end.? Otherwise, they did a fair to

Warren, my plot of the TOYOCOM 45E2BF filter using your 7 : 2t on BN43-2402 also. Clearly my filters have a different impedance than yours as loss is higher and ultimate rejection worse. But I guess
