We did not think to ask HF Signals if they wanted to distribute the JackAl board, so it's going to be sold by QRP Guys. JackAl does replace the Raduino board, but as Mike mentions, there seems to be a good after-market for the Raduino boards, which helps defray the cost of the JackAl.

We hope to be announcing distribution soon, as the board is in production and component assembly is expected to start next week.

Re: Ashhar Farhan #ubitx

 

He posts here regularly.? He's also posted in the various threads about relay replacement (he reported that current production boards have relays that bring harmonics into compliance) and various spur fixes (he's come up with 2 or 3.? He's also stated that all fixes are rolled into the production cycle.

I look forward to a photo of your board when it arrives - I'd like to see which spur fix is applied.

I'm really enjoying my very early V3 board - I'm definitely going to get at least one more, and I'm scratch building another one.? Too much fun!

Re: Is push pull hf amp has higher spectral purity

 

The stock Bitx40 has a problem with the 7.2MHz birdie not only on receive but also it produces a spur on transmit which does not meet fcc spec.
You could use it on 7.1MHz and below or change the vfo to high side and move the carrier oscillator to the other side of the filter (Allard's software). Whether you can do that depends on the xtal filter in your Bitx40. You may get lots of carrier and poor sideband rejection.
The Bitx is a good entry into homebrew. You might get away with using it barefoot but take care if you want to push to higher power.

Re: uBITX V4.3

 

Arduino source files are .ino

There is an arduino hex loader program that uses .hex file extensions

I believe that the question is related to one of the various mods having stored the files in compressed mode, one of which uses .MD and? another .ICO.? He will need to look up extraction programs for the above compressed libraries (WinZip or 7Zip or similar).? I use WinZip.

Re: UbitX audio hiss but no rx

 

OK, I went back and looked through the prior emails to get a handle on what is going on.

First off, need to know the details of your build?
- uBitx, Bitx40, bitx20 which one if uBitx, then version (4 is the latest)
- Which version of Raduino (Nano) software are you using?
- Verify that you have installed the resistor for the CW keyer, or if using the CEC built in keyer the dual resistors for that
- did you change out the nano?

I am not sure that I can help, however will try with the above information.

Re: UbitX audio hiss but no rx

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Ok, so I've tried that, tried manually shorting the connections, nothing. I've clearly got something wrong in the wiring up process. I did get a more transmission out which I picked up on another radio, but it switched itself back to LSB.
Just checking, how robust are these boards? How likely is it that I've bloen a MOSFET or something?
I'm sure it's probably just a duff connection, but short of starting again I don't know what to do with it.

Best wishes
