Re: Carrier Null revisited
grossly testing my rig tonight (with a receiver right near it) I can hear some carrier also but it doesn't move the SWR or power needle at all on a cheap SWR meter, and whistling I can get several

Re: Carrier Null revisited
The dual-diode is labelled D20 on the board, and it's inside the triangle formed by the pads for a large version of the Pot - which is depicted. D20 is obscuring the wiper pad for the smaller

Re: Carrier Null revisited
My own board is nearly one year old and it still has the balance pot installed. Could you perhaps make a photo of this area on your BitX board and share it with us? I'm sure someone in this group will

Re: Need picture of 8 pin connector
The 8-pin connector on the *Raduino* attaches through to the A lines of the *Arduino*. On <http://www.hfsigs.com/bitx40v3_circuit.html>, at the Bottom of the page is the explanation: it's the CONTROLS

Re: Need picture of 8 pin connector
BTW, one easy way to remember the colours: It's just the same as the colour code as used on resistors: 0 - black 1 - brown 2 - red 3 - orange 4 - yellow 5 - green 6 - blue 7 - violet 73 Allard PE1NWL

Need picture of 8 pin connector
I need a picture of the 8 pin connector so I can re-attach the wires to calibrate my BITX40.? THANKS,? BILL, W4YAH

Re: Carrier Null revisited
I agree. I should have written down the levels. I will do that when I get home tonite and post it. I am just grounding the PTT line to key it, no microphone attached.

Re: Carrier Null revisited
I think we need some numbers here. What is the gentleman's peak output, measured and whatever method he has, either watts, or even a relative reading on some swr or other indicator.... Exactly how is

Re: Carrier Null revisited
I remember that Farhan posted something a while back that said if you are driving the PA too hard you will see some carrier. Decrease the PA drive (RV136) a bit and it should go away. Michael VE3WMB

Re: Carrier Null revisited
Most of these seem to have the carrier pretty well suppressed without adjustment. The change to the dual-diode bat54s was made to avoid the need for such an adjustment, since the two schottky diodes

Re: Carrier Null revisited
I understand that. But if there's voltage on that resistor, whether or not it's connected to the raduino, there will be carrier. That's how my tune mod works - key the mic or press ptt. Audio not

Exactly. I haven¡¯t worked on a SSB rig that did not include a carrier null adjustment. Kind of surprised.
