Re: Bitx40 Transmit Problem
You will become a guru in not time! I presume that you are reading 0.9 amps not milliamps. 900mA is too much by itself without shouting into the mic. Possible final blown, assuming you are getting

Thanks. I have a few to try. Some from a closing Radio Shack, but no idea what the specs are. And (somewhere... if I can find them) some from The Electronic Goldmine that are supposed to have a less

Hi Dimitar: I saw your comment:? (many features - many clicks ..., simple code - no clicks). and would like to you to explain how that works to me in greater detail. I know that many of us have

Re: Struggling with tuning clicks and birdie sounds
Hi I had also very loud buzz and tuning clicks at start. Replace your 56 ohm resistor with inductor. First inductor i tried was too small (from old computer mobo), so nothing happened. The second one

Re: VU2ESE Agc circuit
Jerry, I forgot to mention. The LDRs seen to have a peak response (to light) at around 550nm which is red LED light wavelenght, so a plain old red LED is good.

Re: VU2ESE Agc circuit
Jerry, The LDRs that you are looking for are the ones with the lowest ON (ie; lit-up bright resistance) resistance. The Bitx volume control pot is a 10k unit so if you are going to shunt the audio

Re: IRF510- Temporary replacement?
Datasheet says a BS170 is good for 350mw dissipation max. We normally set RV1 for bias into the IRF510 for a quiescent drain current of 100ma, which means the IRF510 is dissipating 12v*0.1a = 1.2
