Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Hi Raj, Funny, I have a DE-5000, LC-100A (real cheap one from eBay) and the AADE and they all agree within less than 1 percent. You might have a bad crystal oscillator on the uP in your AADE? Or maybe

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Hi Jim, Just wanting to lob out an idea for consideration on your multiple uBITX board relay experiment, if it is still in progress. Mounting the Axicom relays from the back side, where they are

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
I agree with you Raj. Also, I believe it's because the Axicom relays were designed from the beginning to be used in RF applications where the ones originally used in the uBITX were and are not. The

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Relays are sealed, cant use SWR grease. I remember reading in QST some year April about how SWR grease makes all the standing waves slip and fall off the antenna :-)) Most of my testing with harmonics

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
FYI, similar AXICOM relays are mounted on the RF sensed TX/RX switch (changeover) by Kanga. Attached you find the pic of one I assembled some time ago. As this provides RX protection, Kanga has

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Kees, My guess is that the contacts being underside are close to the ground plane of the board and that must be helping decreasing the "coupling" of both sets of contacts. Imagine a loop on one side

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
I don't trust my AADE meter below 1uH. I use a meter called DE 5000, it read commercial sub uH inductors very accurately. The AADE meter was way off. The DE meter can be set for 1,10,100 KHz

Re: uBITX new build, quiet audio #ubitx; volume control wired backwards
Hi, you are not alone, I did the same mistake. And evidently ver. 4 is more robust than ver. 3. I had to replace the audio final in ver. 3 (the good but infamous TDA).
