Re: uBitx v4 new socket
We still have some clean up to do on the code for our JackAl board on the ?BITX, but here's a sneak peek. (Please keep this under your hat until we release it...it's not ready for prime time yet.)

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
Tom, You keep missing that with 4 stages they have to provide the gain at 30mhz.? Its built with 3904s and they just can't do that. What the 40M bitx does is not relevant.? Why because it does it at

Re: Searching for IMD
I measured the OIP3 of the uBITX Bi-amp stage I proto built and the Hayward version, both at *45MHz* using the 1dB gain drop method. uBITX:? +20.83dB OIP3 Hayward: +20dB OIP3 Haywards Paper measures

Re: Searching for IMD
Iz oos, I was thinking whether a MMIC up to 10dbm and an RD06HHF as driver like in the 10w qrp-pa-2008 might make sense Whats that going to fix?? The transformers need to be reworked, the prior

Re: 2N2222A vs 2N3904 sourcing
I forgot to add that the original analogy was based on the BITX40 only using 3 stages to produce approximately the same power of the uBITX with 4 stages. With 4 stages there should be more gain to

Re: Searching for IMD
Warren, I understand it will fix getting a cleaner source and levels out of the IF. You still can drive the mixers harder than compression at which things get nasty with spurs and all. Hows that going

Re: Searching for IMD
That is not quite correct Iz. My plan is to replace the entire three transistor amplifier, taking the current input from C20 and delivering the MMIC output to C22. The MMIC I tested and published

Tom, The PA is not the issue.? I have three designs using the IRF510 to as high as 50mhz all wideband.? One even uses 8 of the in 4x4 push-pull for 225W at 6M.? with 6W in? 225 out is not what I'd
