Re: Searching for IMD
I was thinking whether a MMIC up to 10dbm and an RD06HHF as driver like in the 10w qrp-pa-2008 might make sense

Yes, as a matter of fact I have looked at the schematic.

Re: bitx40 on 80
Hi Terry, I quickly tried the modifications to the sketch as I suggested earlier today, and they seem to work OK. I tested this on my own BitX40 and I could tune through the entire 80m band. Also the

Re: Searching for IMD
Allison, I know that in general MMICs (Mav, Ina, Era, Gali whatever) are eager of drawing current. If I understand Warren, he wants to change the first one or two 2n3904 in the chain just to clean the

Re: #DIFX_Transceiver #difx_transceiver
Are the amplifiers used in the uBITX actually bidirectional? They just look like two independent amplifiers pointed in opposite directions and independently switched on so they don't create a big

Re: My list of Firmware, Executables and Nextion Screens for the ubitx
Dr. Lees 3.5 is actually a 2.8 compiled for 3.5 ie it will only fill up 3/4's of the screen in the upper left corner. The only 3.5 screen that is a true 3.5 that I know of is Rich Neese's.??

Re: #DIFX_Transceiver #difx_transceiver
ITs a mix of bitx and the plessy BIDI from EMRFD. I've used the plessy Bidi and its two transistors and works well at 9-17db (depends on how you bypass the emitters) included is a picture of page 6.61

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
Hi Allison, I believe I've followed most of that thread. Assuming the BITX40 would also have issues at 10M, if it was driving another PA, in this case the uBITX Push-Pull PA, there may still be enough

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
Hi Allison, Good information on the IRF510 still needing high?quiescent current even if it is run at substantially lower power levels. But I do see the transistors you list above are mosfets rather

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
I'd also point out that the ubitx *as is* can easily do 7W on 40M I've seen more. That not the problem its what would the power chain for bitx40 do at 20M or 10M? Based on prior work, badly.? IT was

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
Tom, Understood but the heavy mosfet device needs higher operating current to get over the high input and output C.??For the driver its a maybe, but you need to heatsink it as its going to run at

Re: bitx40 on 80
Terry, while looking at it again, I realised that you'd also need to change lines 93 and 94. These are the initial frequencies of VFO A and B. I suggest to set these to a frequency somewhere in the

Re: My list of Firmware, Executables and Nextion Screens for the ubitx
Marty - I seem to be having a problem with the ubitx_35.tft file for v1.1 seems it is producing an image for a smaller screen size. I think things have got mixed up. but I tossed my earlier version.

Re: bitx40 on 80
Hi Terry The scan mode's lower and upper frequency limits are hard coded at lines 71 and 72. You could modify these values as well for 80m band. (Note that these values are kHz) So? for example you
