Re: zBitx +-2 MHz transmit spurs? --> SHOWSTOPPER for transmitting
I have yet measured the output voltage (after the 40 dB attenuator). Below are the results. Indeed, one can see a 2 MHz amplitude modulation. That's not an aliasing artifact. Below there is a

Re: zBitx touchsreen issue
The calibration screen does come up - for less than 2 seconds. Not enough time to calibrate. What next? Thanks, AC4OW, Sam Hanie samhanie@... [email protected]> wrote:

Re: zBitx +-2 MHz transmit spurs? --> SHOWSTOPPER for transmitting
I don't know where R70 is on the PCB, or how accessible it might be. Can Ashhar have someone back at the factory swap out R70 with a clock buffer and see if that reduces spurs? - Ron

Re: zBitx +-2 MHz transmit spurs? --> SHOWSTOPPER for transmitting
Frank, my measurement setup has been described already in my FIRST posting on this topic: " Measurement with a TinySA Ultra connected via 50dB (20dB + 30dB) attenuators. Adding another 30dB of

Re: zBitx +-2 MHz transmit spurs? --> SHOWSTOPPER for transmitting
The U.S. regulation is -43 dBc. ?The spur 2.5 MHz above the carrier does not get close enough to meeting that spec for me to be interested in taking more careful measurements. ?I can also hear that

Same issue as Sam. Pressing the screen while powering up and releasing shows the calibration screen with red markers in every corner. One corner has a white marker, touching it shifts the marker to

I crossed checked with two different models of tinySA, and also compared against two other QRP transmitters using the same 50 dB attenuation chain at similar power levels. ?Only my zbitx showed the

Re: zBitx +-2 MHz transmit spurs? --> SHOWSTOPPER for transmitting
To be on the safe side, I tested it with a lab supply as well as with 18650 batteries: Same result, the +/- 2.x MHz spurs are there with both types of power supplies! I think the spurs are

Re: zBitx +-2 MHz transmit spurs? --> SHOWSTOPPER for transmitting
If the problem is related to the change of power supply voltage due to periodically changing current consumption, the problem may persist with battery supply. They have non-zero internal

zBitx touchsreen issue
zBitx touchscreen no longer aligned. When I press the macro key "F4", the terminal reports that I pressed "F1". rev 1.06 / 3.052. Any help appreciated. Thanks, AC4OW, Sam Hanie

Re: zBitx +-2 MHz transmit spurs? --> SHOWSTOPPER for transmitting
You could probe the input to the 3.3v regulator. However, this is a little more complicated than what it appears to be. First, I spent weeks measuring the spurs. They are all below -43dbc except on

Re: zBitx +-2 MHz transmit spurs? --> SHOWSTOPPER for transmitting
GM Gordon,? I still believe it could be a power issue - the 3.3v regulator does not appear to be properly filtered per the manufacturer Datasheet. The other possibility is that the output of the

Well that tells us even more.. Not due to the power supply. Unlikely to be produced BEFORE the crystal filter (it would screen it out) Has to be coming in AFTER the filter Dependent on the existence

Re: zBitx +-2 MHz transmit spurs? --> SHOWSTOPPER for transmitting
I tested my unit with two different sets of batteries, and saw the +-2 MHz spurs. So it's not external SMPS noise. The spurs were there when trying to FT8, CW, and 2Tone modes, They only vanished
