Cory -- digital is my first love after CW. Used my Bitx40 several times on WINLINK. Worked quite well. The new unit should be even better.
With a signalink, you'll need to put a 1 uf or so capacitor between the mic input and the signalink (transformer) output as DC isolation. The signalink will drive the relays of the Bitx type devices quite well and I think the newer one has a transitor for that function also.

Re: It's alive!
Hi Jack, have you tried 75/80 meters? I'm hoping it's sensitive there as I want to use it by my bedside at night. Also, you must have chose the DHL shipping option, In hindsight I wish I had done that, I have had so many bad experiences with DHL I just decided not to ship that way:-( Twice they have lost my packages in Germany.

Soldering iron, heat shrink tubing, hand tools, common sense and a case would help. No reason a newbie shouldn't be able to do it, just pay attention to details and follow the instructions.

Re: Small question about LCD mounting
Also a company called Microscale makes decal application products. Hobby Lobby used to carry it. Can't get carried away with it. You'll destroy the decal. It does soften it after all.? In modeling you use them to snug down and into panel lines and such. Well if you're a good modeler you do. I mostly just messed them up! LOL! Dan Reynolds -- KB9JLO -- Dan Reynolds -- KB9JLO <>< |
Re: Got Mine in TWO DAYS! - Case Fits!
Ordered on the 9th, delivered on the 14th. Boards are wrapped in bubble wrap, shipped in a semi-transparent plastic box encased in a tight-fitting shipping box. Now I have to wait for the case I ordered. -T ? Sent from Yahoo Mail.

Ahhh bummer. I'm in the same boat it seems -- no update to the Paypal with tracking. I guess that means I won't be getting it before Xmas. Was hoping to get it set up over the break, but I'll live.

Santa came early
I hadn't realized Santa had traded in his sleigh for a yellow cargo van, but must he must have.? I had ordered a uBitx late Saturday or or was it very early Sunday morning.? Did not expect it to get in until next week, but the door bell rang and there was Santa disguised as a DHL driver.? Along with the uBitx he also delivered a set of circuit boards I designed and ordered Saturday that should allow me to use a 1.8 to 2.8 inch TFT display instead of the standard LCD.? All I have to do is write some software.? But I think that some of the graphic display routines I have done for several other projects should take care of most of that.? I also found that a case I had made out of PCB material will work with just the moving of the front panel support brackets to a new location.? Now I know what I will be doing for the holidays.?
