Re: Spurs/Harmonics fixes for v4 based on v5 board design?
Hi, I agree with Jerry. I have an RTL-SDR here. It's a fun toy. Signals from off the air overload it regularly. Never mind about being in the same room with a transmitter. It is not good for that kind

Re: Good mic for Ubitx and Bitx40
I believe the stock element is fine. I have tried other electrets elements and all delivered less output. I did change I believe R63 to have higher output. Some suggested to use very sensitive

Re: Spurs/Harmonics fixes for v4 based on v5 board design?
Agreed, spurs on 80m-20m are not a big issue with a stock uBitx. Harmonics on a stock rig are 30dB down or more, so down in power by a factor of 1000. Should be better, but I doubt anybody will ever

Re: Adding uv meter .board and leads to ubitx
Good idea. Those amps are usually pretty small. Most I have seen are on a board about 2-in square. Bob ¡ª KK5R --------------------------------------------
