Re: BITX40 Sensitivity
C¨¦sar EA3IAV
I am planning to buy a signal generator. I am thinking about this but I don't know if this is suitable given the 0.1v output in order to check sensitivity?

Re: a missing capciator C93 or C103 for Bitx40v3
Oh, I need the instructions to add a power supply, antenna, etc. to it. The ham that handed it to me had no paper items except for a half page of paper that listed some components.
I don't see a way to edit my previous post or I would have done that instead of making a new one. -- Jim/N4AAB |
Re: a missing capciator C93 or C103 for Bitx40v3
Jim :?
The Bitx40v3 board came preassembled, likely that cap is the the one intended to go between wiper and ground on the tuning pot.? See details at :? Note that this figure depicts a 10 turn pot, but you want same setup from Wiper to ground on a regular linear 10 pot.? cheers Michael VE3WMB? |
Re: a missing capciator C93 or C103 for Bitx40v3
No need for any of them. The parts are included in the event you want to revert to the analog VFO. The Raduino replaced the need for the additional componets.

Re: Raduino v1.18 (improved CW performance) released
Michael Davis
I had asked Allard and group the same question. Very recently I uploaded v1.17.1. I had the anti-gallop switches but removed them when I updated. I set my bitx to tune the entire band (no CW) occasionally I still hit the bottom of the 10 turn pot (yes you'll need one) the radio gallops. My buddy kept his in and his doesn't gallop, but I seem to remember that it doesn't maintain the last freq set before we turn it off. You will need one of the push buttons for a function switch (orange to ground) and a 10k resistor soldered to the main board and in the black position of the Arduino 8 pin plug for PTT sense whick will prevent FMing. I'll send you the wiring photos.

Hi
everyone, I'm a little late to the party being that I've just completed my
Bitx40 build last week.? I still have a minor bug to work out but hopefully
that will be resolved in a few days.? I will be using mine for phone only.? Out of the box mine has the stock version of firmware in it.? I haven't added the suggested tuning lock buttons to it yet either but they are on the way.? If I upgrade to the v1.18 version firmware are there any additional switches that I need to add?? Is there an S meter in the latest firmware? To me it looks like if I update the firmware and want to go back to the original version, the listing in the Files directory here in the group has something called "B40SoftwareRel0100.ino".? Is that the original firmware? Thanks |

Re: Raduino v1.18 (improved CW performance) released
Curt even if you don't plan do do CW there are some nice improvements in Allard's code that are beneficial for SSB.?
The README.md file gives the details of all of the changes : Minimally you need a FUNCTION button. Just a few things that you might find useful : - better tuning stability (less flutter)? - dual VFO? - Support for USB? - support for 10 turn pot for tuning (tuning range setting in settings menu) - ability to calibrate both LSB/USB from the settings menu? - ability to adjust ?VFO drive level from settings menu (can help to reduce birdies)? - with a SPOT switch closed you enter Fine Tune mode with 1Hz resolution (intended primarily for CW but also works for SSB) - ability to work SPLIT (requires PTT Sense mod) - decimal point for better frequency readability (i.e A 7.123.4 ?vs A 7.1234 )? - disable tuning on RX with PTT Sense Mod (to prevent FM-ing during TX) and probably a few others things that I have overlooked. Cheers Michael VE3WMB? |
Re: W8TEE B40 Assembly Manual
Click the wire-up link. at the top.? The entire process is really easy. You can ask questions here if you get stuck. Don't let all the wires fool you - you don't even use a lot of them :) --
