Re: BITX40 Sensitivity
Hello Raj,
Really -130dBm?
It's great!
I will try again but I think I'm not able to hear -130dBm with my HP SG.

Re: BITX40 Sensitivity
Good news for me! managed to fix my function Seimens generator. One white power bypass smd cap had a neat hole in it!
I connected the sig gen and found that I can hear the signal down to -130dbm.

Re: CW mode delay
Hi Allard,
Thanks for reply and OK I understand all you mentioned.
The first code loss will be prevent by using the manual PTT SW to ON.
But I feel the main issue is the 1:3 ratio of the morse code

Re: CW mode delay
Hi Hidehako-san,
The cause of this is that there is a burst of RF which is coming directly
through the balanced mixer which is unbalanced for about 60 mS due to the
microphone amplifier stage being

Re: BITX40 Sensitivity
OK thanks sarma and Raj,
Yes, -117dBm is enough for me.!
I only want to know the limitation of this simple receiver's sensitivity.
I'm waiting for Raj's measurement result.

Re: CW mode delay
Hi Allard,
Thanks for your reply quickly.
Well I feel the delay is noticed when I start to key the first dot or dash is lost.
And I feel the 1:3 ratio is broken during the transmit. Especially the

Re: BITX40 Sensitivity
Thats about 0.3uV, more than enough.
On 40M the atmospheric background noise is higher than this.
You need a K2 sensitivity when using a poor antenna like a
mobile one whose gain will be negative

Re: CW mode delay
Hi Hidehiko-san,
Thank you for reporting this issue.
The delay you noticed, when exactly is it happening?
Is there a problem at the beginning of the transmission (when the radio
switches from RX to

Re: BITX40 Sensitivity
comparing to cost of K2, the sensitivity has reached almost the best value,
I suppose.

CW mode delay
I modified CW mode and set the latest version of firmware(Raduino 1.17.1).
I feel distinguished delay when I use the external electronic keyer.
The morse code can not follow with keying.

BITX40 Sensitivity
I wonder my BITX has less sensitivity or not.
I maesured it about -117dBm using my HP8656B SG.
Not reached to 120dBm. My K2 reached to -127dBm. hi...
How is your BITX?
