Re: Low SSB output
Harvey, Disconnect the power wire to the PA, i.e. center wire on power plug and then make measurements. I suspect that 400mV is the L5 picking up PA signal. The level at L1 which is input to PA I

Re: How many schematics exist for uBITX
#bitx40help
Jon V3 has the TDA audio amp. V4 has a discrete transistor audio amp. New V5 has a LM386 audio amp, and some new refinements including a different 2nd IF. All factory versions are supplied with IRF510

Re: How many schematics exist for uBITX

Jon you don¡¯t say when you received your uBITX. If our board has the discrete transistor audio amplifier then yours is a version 4 and the 2018 schematic is correct. There was a long thread about

I have a 2018 and a 2017 schematic and neither match my radio. 2017 layout has a TDA2822, my radio does not. 2018 layout has RD15HV1 after the IRF510, my radio does not. Is there anyone have an

Hello Sascha, It should work "in theory" without a level converter (but it does not hurt to verify). Reason being is that "A TTL input signal is defined as "low" when between 0 V and 0.8 V with

Hello Sascha, One good news is that you have a USB-TTL converter that works and that it talks to the Arduino. Based on the above my first thoughts about the issue are either the option selection in

Re: Is Ver 5 the same physical dimensions and layout?
They have the same dimensions and a V5 will physically fit in the same box as a V3 or V4. You cannot use the Raduino from a V3 or V4 in a V5 as is, but they will work if you load V5 software into the

Re: 2nd run of the spectrum test on the V5

On the bright side, the 45 MHz into the final mixer spurs seem to be cured on this one sample. Are the relays same make as v4? I understand they are arranged differently on the schematic.? Maybe like

Group, I just got a V5 in the mail today in hopes of just removing the V4 from its box and swapping the main board and the Arduino and display. Is that possible? Thanks Mike WA3O
