Re: uBitx questions

 

hf signals is keeping the same price because they are able to manage within that price for now. if component prices go up, they might revise the prices.

Has anyone tried using the Teknmotion yapster headsets on Ubitx? I am waiting on my Ubitx ( ordered Jan 5th) and I have a yapster headset which I think will work with it. ?There are lots of the headsets on eBay at reasonable prices.

W0EB/W2CTX new I2C software V2.00R Release#ubitx

 

This has been posted to the "Files" section but it is sometimes difficult to find there so just to make sure I'm re-uploading it here as an attachment.? This is a very comprehensive update - The I2C bus on the Raduino card is used to drive a small controller card that attaches to the LCD display and now those of you who were wanting the A3, A6 and A7 analog inputs back to use for "Meter" programming can have them.? Since using the I2C bus to control the display frees up the D8, D9, D10, D11, D12 and D13 digital I/O pins on the Arduino Nano, we have reprogrammed the CW Paddles, Hand Key, and even the SSB Push to Talk lines to digital I/O's.? We fount that, since you don't use PTT in CW and you normally don't use the Keys in SSB that one digital I/O input could serve as Hand Key/External Keyer AND SSB Push to talk depending on the mode selected in the menu.? We put the Keyer DOT on D8, Keyer DASH on D11 and the PTT/Hand Key/External Keyer input on D12.? We didn't use D13 because it's used to drive one of the LED's on the Arduino Nano and requires some extra trickery to use as an input.? We also added an extra push button switch tied to the D10 input.? This button toggles the A/B VFO's and if you press and hold it for a short period, it enters SPLIT mode.? All of this and the hardware modification instructions are contained in the PDF documentation included in the zip file.? Lots of photographs are included in the manual to assist the user with the modifications and operation of the software after the mods are finished and the software installed.? You must perform the modifications first as the software cannot be used with the standard, Raduino mounted display as those digital I/O lines are used for CW/PTT operation after they are freed up by the I2C mods.

We have resolved the problem.? It WAS NOT a bug in our program, it was a misunderstanding of the way our new menu system works.? The PDF file containing the instructions goes into detail on the new system complete with photo's to illustrate the operation.

Re: Audio in speakers during Tx - RFI

 

开云体育

As most OLD OLD Hams know, there was a LOT of problems caused on Phone Land lines back then by us Vermin's.

It was RFI.

As a kid and youngster the Neighbors Never Believed that I should even be running my Ham radio.

If they would let me, I would take the cover off the phone lines coming into their houses, and put Disk Caps on the lines.

I went every way, line to line, and lines to box ground.?? That usually fixed the problems.? I think the caps were about a dime?

Way later, I? ferrite beads became available.? Thats what I did to my phone when I started running big power.

The good ol' days, everyone has to get there someday!

You're searching wrong. Do a search sorted by lowest price + shipping first. I'm watching a box with built in power and 15 BNC connectors, is 8.7x9.4x1.7H and is less that $20 after you add in shipping. There are others in the similar price range.

Re: Are you looking for a case for your Bitx?

Vince Vielhaber
 

Yeah, I saw Mike's post and checked that. And it does provide a good source of shoes!

Anyone looking at these for cases, I recommend you go to their website so you can get the dimensions on the enclosure. Those distribution amps look like the perfect size (according to the ebay pic), only to find out it's only a 1.7x4x3 box! There are some that are a good size tho and the price is what you'd be paying for just a box. Some of the boxes only have a hole in the front for an LED so you have a nice front panel to work with. A couple I'd seen even came with a 12V 3A power supply!!! BONUS!
