Re: uBITX new build, quiet audio #ubitx; volume control wired backwards
This is what happened to me with my first ?BitX; yellow volume wire was connected to volume wiper (Vol-M) & orange wire was connected to Vol. high, which is backwards. Once I corrected that, the

QSX microcontroller
All: I'm positive Hans said what the microcontroller was that controls his new QSX rig. While I'm pretty sure its an STM32, but I can't find which flavor or the post that (I thought?) mentioned it.

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
One more........ Inquiring minds want to know............ What is the power (or "sensitivity" level) of the AXICOM 12V relay relative to the others since there are typically 3 or 4 different power

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Note that the addition of a 100uH choke in series with the coil improved the attenuation 10dB......but there is that self resonance peak. Don't know the effect (yet) of having a 100uH (or larger)

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Those inductances all look right. Sure would like to know WHY the Axicom relays have better readings.? It just dawned on me that when I'm measuring all these little LPFs, whether I built them up or

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Your values look to be in line with what I measured, Jim.? .02uH is 20 nH.? I only measured one of each brand. --Mike--

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
How did you measure the inductance of the armature? I tried with my AADE LC meter and I get .02 to .028 microhenry on all 5 new relays. Not sure I'm using the right method to measure that particular

Kees, In measuring a Virtual relay and an Axicom relay that I have here, both show approximately 20nH.

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Since we have AXICOM relays in the group now, can someone please measure the inductance from the N/C contact to the Armature on one of those relays. To see if it differs any from the 6 other relays I

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Jim, I stand corrected on my CW comment since the uBITX is not QSK. Someone asked what adding a 100uH inductor in series with the coil does. This is the plot of the larger 16 pin HFD27 relay with the

Re: Purchase of uBitx on hold until?
Are you saying that the second 45mhz mod can be removed from the TX with this mod? How much power loss is lost with the 45mhz is in place? Nice work by the way. I¡¯d like to try this for sure. Joe PS

Re: Alignment of Bitx40
The through-hole 2n3904 uses a silicon die that is identical to the surfacemount MMBT3904. The through hole package can dissipate more power, but I believe the failure mode is excessive voltage

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Why would it bother the CW ops? The uBITX is NOT full QSK anyway and the relays do not follow keying. They remain energized for a short time after key-up before returning to RX. Jim - W0EB
