#ubitx new Alternate software for the uBITX
#ubitx
Hi gang,
Ron, W2CTX and I (W0EB) have been steadily working on fixing some of the CW problems with the uBITX software and also changing the tuning over from the accelerated tuning for band change, etc. We found that this method, while liked by some was difficult for some of us to tune to the frequency we wanted so we set it up with a cursor under the digit to be tuned using the encoder button to step the cursor position. We also used the spare (A7) line as the dash input for the keyer (you have to add another 4.7K pullup resistor, this time to the A7 input). The zipfile complete with all files for compiling and uploading to the uBITX with the Arduino IDE (version 1.8.5 or later on the IDE). If you have your IDE set up right, it should compile without errors and upload to the uBITX just fine. The CW Keyer module uses code that came from the open source Ten-Tec Patriot and Rebel code and the timing has been corrected so that the paddles work properly and all the available speeds from real slooooow to 50 wpm. I've been using this code on the air for over a week without a problem. We also re-ordered the menu(s) and added a few items that are all explained in the manual included in the zip file. Ron and I sincerely hope this program version will allow you to work CW much better and it addresses some of the requests for features that are different from what was supplied in the initial version that came loaded in the factory uBITX.

Re: Verifying errors with version 1.27.7
In the IDE you have selected Arduino Nano, of course, but are you sure you identified the correct COM port for the Raduino? Since nothing showed up indicating that it was that port on my system, I resorted to going to the System Hardware list, COM and LPT ports, and just seeing what showed up when I plugged the USB cable into the Raduino, then selected that port in the IDE program. I did my first upload maybe a week ago and had similar issues getting going, but it works great now!

Mic Preamp install, bias resistors
#ubitx
HI Group.
I am about to install an SSM2167 Pre-amp, Should I remove the bias resistor R60(4.7k) and then re-install post amp at say a 2.2k for the lower 5V the amp uses? IIRC, the SSM2167 Spec sheet? mentions a 2.2k bias resistor for electret mics... Thanks in advance. 73, Nick VK4PLN |
