Re: Let the fun begin
The number is like this :
AB-xyz
The xyz is the serial number within the batch B. A is not a number, it is
the initial of the tester. 'F' is for farhan, 'U' is Uma, etc.

Re: Finding an AGC circuit with fast/slow attack
or you could do worse than check out the IF AGC (and S Meter) approach used by Eamon Skelton EI9GQ in his various rig designs. A google seatrch will find them. I intend to use one of his designs,

Re: Finding an AGC circuit with fast/slow attack
The audio amp with AGC as seen in the uBitx could be a good addition to the Bitx40. ?That amp will have less distortion than the LM386. ?

Re: Finding an AGC circuit with fast/slow attack
hi all,
The SL621 works from the audio but controls the RF/IF. It has fast

Re: Finding an AGC circuit with fast/slow attack
Hi,
On most discreet AGC circuits tis a Diode that feeds a resistor capacitor
pair, it is the time constant (t = R * C ) that determines how fast or slow
the AGC will work, it would be easy to

Surprised
I took my new Bitx40 out of my shack to show my wife right after it was finished. As soon as I hooked it up to a 12 volt battery it came to life and I heard real slow morse. So slow I could follow it.
