Re: Ubitx - carbon mic
Neither HF amateur is expected to transmit Hi-Fi. I suppose, if managed, it should suite well. Only issue is biassing needed for the mic. You need to flow 10mA into the mic.ll the best for a trial. A

Re: Ubitx - carbon mic
Thanks for the comments. I know (wikipedia hihi) the limitations of carbon types, but I remember old telephones were not hifi but very effective in speech. The carbon type needs dc and maybe the one

Re: Low output on CW UBITX
Did some more tests, built an RF probe for my DMM, did the maths to come up with the following outputs in watts at about 13volts. 3.5 7 10 14 18 21 24 28 CW 0.9 0.6 2.8 2.2 1.3 2.6 1.0 0.6 SSB 3.6 3.9

Re: Ideal fuse rating

THIS is what I planned to do bu the provided diode is only rated at one amp. I wanted then to put a 5A diode in series with the positive line but didn't have one on hand. I also agree that the .7V is

Re: Ideal fuse rating
#bitx20help
If you put a 3-5 amp rectifier in series with the positive lead you will not blow fuses or damage any parts due to reverse polarity. The .7 volt drop will not be noticeable to you or on the receiving

Re: Ideal fuse rating

Hi, A fuse may or may not prevent damage to the gear that is downstream - your rig. It is likely to limit damage but something has typically already failed to blow the fuse. Progressive damage will

Re: Ideal fuse rating

Jes The reason to have a fuse is to limit damage from an over current condition. I sense the fuse does not have to be too close to the nominal operating current, and possibly there can be some

Ideal fuse rating
#bitx20help
Apologies if this has been asked a hundred times already, but what is the ideal rating for the reverse polarity fuse on a ubitx. I think I read somewhere that 2.5 amps is probably the ideal rating,

Re: Ubitx - carbon mic
Try the earpiece from an old cradle type telephone. The carbon mic element is not advisable since it has an inherent hiss that may have to be filtered out. The earpiece has a diode-looking device

@David, you can post your design in https://www.thingiverse.com?There are some uBitx posting there already. You can just add STL file or also include design files as well.
