Re: Using switching power supply....
Between the power supply and the capacitors that Arv K7HKL recommends you might also construct a common-mode choke from a junk box powdered iron toroid you might have (T-37 or T-50 material best) and

Add a large capacitor (470 to 4700 mfd) across the DC output and any of
them
should be acceptable. Might also add a 0.005 across that larger capacitor
to
insure that higher frequency

Re: Using switching power supply....
I have a few orphaned laptop power supplies in the junk box- would one of these be 'clean' enough to use for this radio?

Re: Baofeng microphone mod for BITX
I'm curious why you replaced the Microphone's electret 'capsule' with the one provided in the kit?
Aren't these mic's all electret anyway?
I've bought a couple of these on eBay - one for an ACTUAL

Re: MAR-3SM+ and new display/VFO board coming
Howard:
I wrote the assembly manual for 24 members of my club who have already built the kit. About 5 of those had never built anything before, so I feel that the board and the code are stable.

No power out
Hi all, although not a new subject, now that there are many more users, I'm hoping to get some direction to fix the problem. My friend had his Bitx working but added a speaker and accidently hit the

Re: MAR-3SM+ and new display/VFO board coming
Hi Jack,
Forgive me, but as a newbe to the group, I¡¯m still playing catch up with the BITX project and your own MAR-35M
and display board.
I did go to the QRPGuys and look at the analyzer

Re: QRP Labs Low Pass Filters
I forgot to say that, if anyone is wondering if they have similar issues a quick check is to measure the input SWR with the filter terminated in 50 Ohms. Simulation (and measurement) shows that the

Re: QRP Labs Low Pass Filters
To complete the story ....
I removed 1 turn from each of the 20m and 12m inductors - the responses are now satisfactory. For the record, the 20m -3dB frequency moved from 15.00MHz to 15.61MHz, and

Re: Rotary encoder in place of pot
I think there are a number of people who have done this. Go to the home web site Files section and search "Purdum" for two articles on implementing rotary encoders. That discusses using them in

Re: Rotary encoder in place of pot
It is possible to cover the whole 40m band using a multi-turn pot.
The only thing you need to do is to increase the step size from 1,000 to
10,000.
This is easily done with 100x oversampling. A small

Re: Baofeng microphone mod for BITX
It does key up when the PTT is pressed. ?
I wanted to use a microphone that was pretty much prebuilt, and would allow for the BITX condenser. ?
I have yet to make a contact on it, because I don't

Of course possible by new software. Farhan has intended innovation of

It Works!
I got my Bitx wired up today on my bench and it all appears to work. I have about 5 watts out on my watt-meter into a dummy load. It draws about 1.5 amps at 13.8 volts during transmit. I was surprised

Re: uBITX Questions
Dale,
I optimised the design further. Reducing the relays to just three. I added
another cyrstal too as it really makes a difference. There should be a 4.7k
resistor in series with the AGC diode too.
