Re: Tracking shipment

 

Don, that's good to know. I'm sure with the new model that they're still getting organized. I feel better that my order probably hasn't gotten misplaced.?

Thanks,

Re: Tracking shipment

 

Yes I did, but I initiated the transaction and so it may have confused the situation.?

I'm still curious if anyone has gotten shipping confirmation after ordering the new model. It simply may be that they are not shipping the new model yet.

Hi Roy,

did you send them the extra 14 dollars necessary for the new model as this may be what they are waiting for (original Bitx 45 dollars, upgraded version 59 dollars) ?

Wayne, was it a notification through your PayPal??

I'm curious if anyone has gotten shipping notification after ordering one of the new digital models. I ordered mine on Dec 17 when they were on hold waiting to announce the new model and then was notified that I could order the radunco model update to go with my original order. But haven't heard anything since.

I ordered mine Sunday and haven't received any notifications yet. Don't know if it's because of the weekend, or the Christmas holiday, or what...

I do the toroids solidly in place but thought a coating would help hold windings in place.

Re: A more stable Bitx40 (fun with ceramic resonators)

 

?Actually, some xtals can be warped a lot more, though it may depend on the frequency and type of oscillatorI know of a model of CB SSB unit that could go quite a lot more when its "clarifier" was modified.

Re: Damage to SMT version bitx40 from nearby transmitter

 


Raj's suggestion of two back-to-back 2n4148 diodes between K1 pin 12 and ground?puts them only in the receive signal path. ?That seems the ideal spot.?

K1 pin 14 is in the transmit signal path, a?relatively low level signal from the exciter into Q13.
Perhaps you were looking at K2 when you suggested pin 14?
K2 pin 14 is only in the receive path, but does not have the benefit of the impedance of that long trace from K2 to K1, which might keep the diodes from blowing.

I have found that most three leg ceramic resonators are resistant to frequency pulling due to the two internal caps, some will pull further than others. YMMV.

?and also a 4.75mhz xtal to put it at 7225khz:



Not a lot of wiggle room with a crystal but you could get between 7222 and 7225 with a trim cap.The frequency would at least be "rock solid" if you'll pardon the pun.
