Hi!
Has anyone one tried MEMS microphone like these..
Replacement elements for mobile phones are available quite cheap. Some variants come with in built compressor and noise cancellation. Found a link with Youtube video looks pretty good...

Hi all. I don't know how to suppres great carrier in TX mode.

Re: 12MHz xtals and QER Filter
Allison,
Here paralleling of cap arose? due to sheer unavailability of good quality caps in pF range in local mkt. I wanted to optimise the filters to best possible extent on local components so that people assembling uBitx in future can do so with whatever in hand or in junk box. It is very helpful to know the impact of such substitutions on filter response.
I did try out some 8 and 10MHz filters based on half bridge lattice following the work of DL6ZB , OM Rolf here:
?
I found them relatively easy to make, matching non critical and impedance's? easily manageable.?
Also found some HC49U 4.43MHz xtals in my old component bin they must be at least 25+ years old from Philips from my post student and struggle days, matched them now? a lot of about 25 xtals and all within 80Hz,? Talk about Quality..!! I made one QER SSB filter its plot is attached. Planning to give a try to some QER filters on 4.915MHz saw a picture on net for an add on board for K2 based on this topology, but I too would prefer xtals in 8-9MHz range with former being more common value.??
As you recommended to avoid ringing sweep rate is kept very slow by keeping the sample rate high on SNA at 1000 samples it sweeps at about 20KHz per minute.?
More as experimentation goes on ...

Re: Front Panel Stereo Socket Board Wiring Layout
Hi Eddie,? wiring for 4 pin :? pin 1. Mic input,? pin2 PTT,pin3 is put ground and pin 4 is mic ground. So link 3and 4 to earth and pin one is mic and pin 2 is ptt makes sense to keep connections short and screen the mic lead.Hope this helps. Ian M0IDR

If one has working MICs meant for other rigs that he uses, we can by a similar connector and wire accordingly . It helps sharing the? same mic for ubitx.

Re: End Fed antennas w/ uBITX
#ubitx
Hi Allison, these 1:49 transformers are just conventional transformers. Would you think that a 1:4 and a 1:9 current (not the voltage ones) transmission line transformers in series to get a ratio 1:36 would be too lossy as I think or may be used? In that case the transmission line of the 1:9 transformer is just 150 ohm which is theoretically too low.

close as possible to 1.? Very hard to get that with air cores.
However by building them as transmission line transformers (Guanella)
its possible to do that with excellent coupling factors.

Again, thanks for the explanation.? After adding the air choke and counterpoise (17.5ft -- I'll trim it back tomorrow), the uBITX now behaves properly when keying the mic and transmitting CW!!!The SWR is a bit higher, though.  Also, it has moved a bit toward the Frankenstein's monster end of the aesthetic spectrum.  73 Mike KK7ER

No it wasn't. Arv just created the antenna group today. The loop group you're talking about is different.

Re: Managed to pull foil trace off Pop Fix Board (R5)-both sides, K5BCQ kits, Any tricks to get R5 back in place?
#parts
#ubitx-help
First SMD project? OK, then note: to remove a resistor, heat both ends (blob the whole item!) and swipe away from pads to open area (works for smd caps, diodes, transistors too, so long as you don't keep the heat on longer than necessary. ICs really need heat-gun tools.). Repair your faux-pas by finding where those missing pads' traces lead - and to other component pads - and drape an ordinary resistor between. It won't be the prettiest, but it'll work. The component may even stick to the iron tip - if removed from there quickly it most likely will still be OK - a tissue for the job will help you keep track of it.

Re: 12MHz xtals and QER Filter
Rahul,
Parallel caps also offer lower ESR best is the values are near the same but
it helps.
The biggest is crystals ground for series resonance vs parallel.? IT seems to get me a
lower ESR and Lm.
When I'm doing a lattice or half lattice filter I look for both parallel and series as the?
mode difference for a given frequency tends to work in favor for that.
My preferred frequency for filters are under 10mhz with 9.6, 9 and 8 being most common
but other like 5, 5.0688 have been done.? There is less drift with temperature.
I know that from doing a wider than SSB roofing filter at 36mhz,? it had to be or heated!

I have plenty of Pop Fix boards left if you want another 2 kits ......still 2 for $5 mailed. Just no more AGC kits.
