Re: Went Dead
Very interesting and clever. Thanks for the tip. How closely are the RD16HHF1 equivalent to the original mosfet? I do like being able to bolt the heat sink to the case and use the case which is

Re: Exciting times in the uBITx world
Just ordered my 2,8 display. I guess that leaves 5999 ?Bitx users left to order theirs. Not in a rush because this will be for my next ?Bitx. My first will be primarily used for barefoot digital and

Re: Went Dead
This should be a link to my Google drive where you can see some pix. With the RD16HHF1 if you lay the tab down on a table with the leads facing you , you have to cross the two leads on the right of

Re: TX Debug Steps?
Hi, Don't use the light bulb to sort things. If you don't have the gear or the knowhow you might find somebody at a local radio club who can help you. I haven't read all of your posts but maybe the

Well thanks for everyone's help but it is apparent that I do not have the technical expertise to debug this radio.? I have given every bit of the patience I can muster.? I will have to try to find

Re: TX Debug Steps?
Hi Bill, There are a lot of reports of QSOs with the Light-bulb-dummy-load antenna. It happened to me too and sometimes the distances were pretty good - several hundred miles. It's what we had. Our

Re: uBitx has a bit too crispy / semi-distorted audio even on low signal levels #ubitx #ubitx-help
Latest update: I have solved the clicking issue when operating the VFO. The cause is that the Si5351 chip is very sensitive to noise on its VDD inputs. The design of the decoupling seems to be

Re: TX Debug Steps?
CAUTION! The impedance of an incandescent bulb varies greatly over the range of power you might send to it. It can be as low as a few ohms and as high as several hundred ohms. While it may work as an

If usiing a low impedance speaker (4 to 8 ohms) it might be interesting to try bridging across C-74 with a 220 mfd capacitor. Observe polarity, positive toward transistors and negative toward speaker.

Re: VOM Advice? Simpson 260
For VOM advice, I'd go look through the EEVBLOG forum's Test Equipment section. One of the first posts in there is a spreadsheet of 210 meters in 38 brands, and discussions of many more. And that's

Re: TX Debug Steps?
Hi A light bulb works as a very quick n dirty go/no-go check. Even with the newfangled solid state gear. But you still need that dummy load and some sort of SWR bridge for regular operations. Even

Re: TX Debug Steps?
Off topic but you brought back memories. As a novice back in 1966, my DX-40's only dummy load was a 75w bulb. I even got my "Rag Chewers Club" certificate on said "dummy load."

Re: Went Dead
While they cost close to $ 5 each you may want to look at replacing the outputs with some RD16HHF1. One good thing is the tab is at ground so you can bolt it directly to a heat sink. You will have to

Re: How hot is too hot? #ubitx
What you can always do to reduce the load and heat on the poor ol' 5V Regulator is to just add a series resistor of adequate wattage to drop the regulator input voltage to 7V or so. Simple, but not as

The Simpson 260 used several kinds of batteries over the years for the ohms function. Often a D size for the lower ohm scale and a higher voltage one for the highest ohm scale.. Some odd ball ones by
