Re: I captured my own PSK31 signal and it is not a pretty picture

When I look at my transceiver output on transmit, I don't connect any antenna to my SDR dongle. I also have a 50 ohm SMA terminator that I sometimes connect to the dongle to greatly reduce the signal

Re: Alignment of Bitx40
The alignment current refers to only the current in the PA power line, not the entire radio. On that line current is zero during receive, but the overall rig does draw power on receive and you would

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Would be interesting for me knowing whether these relays make such a
significant improvement to the version 3 as well.

If you are using a laptop you may try using just the battery and see what
may change. To eliminate the noise when I use SDRs I use the laptop with a
laptop power supply that has the ground wire (the

It might be as well, but if you get that picture without transmitting it
might be a ground loop. You need a 1:1 isolating transformer for RF (not
audio type) such those made by MiniCircuits or

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Nick,
I tried the mod with a set of Omron and the harmonics were the same about -36 db
I tried with Panosonic relays, slightly smaller and the harmonic were TERRIBLE at -12db
Not price but internal

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
I suppose we are learning the difference between a $5 relay and a $1 relay....
I see the Omron G6 I plan on using with my LPF boards has a 45db isolation at 50mhz!

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Regarding the relay spec differences, can anyone open the case of the

instructive to all of us to understand how to choose relays for

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Good evening Kees,
As I said in an earlier post, with the Axicom relays installed in 3 different rigs, I am not seeing any harmonic greater than -50dBm on any band from 80 thru 10 mtrs.? I have fuzzy

Thanks for the advise. The ferrites eliminated the noise.
Still I'm looking for ways to implement a remote vfo encoder. Using rigctl

Re: uBitx First Contact
Hi Daniel
Yes both RV2 and RV3 are 10k and they are also in parallel so to start with you will only measure half that if both wipers were set at the ground end.

That is a great find! It means the capacitance is lower on those relays.

Your receiver is too close to your transmitter and you are overloading it. It's the same thing with testing your voice signal with a local receiver and it doesn't sound right. Use a remote station

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
I measured about 2pF across the N/O and N/C contacts (when open) and about 4-5pF from the relay armature to the coil, just like the datasheet mentions for that relay. The relays I tested were the same
