Hrm, doesn't sound quite like my bitx40. I get the same static, and the same clicks from tuning, but not the ubiquitous clicks when not touching anything.

Have you opened it up and verified that the antenna connection is solid straight to the board?

Here are two troubleshooting videos I've used.

Farhan on recieve:?
VK3YE on transmit:

It looks like you don't have the file si5351.ino in the same directory as the actual antonio sketch. I assume that when you first tried to compile the sketch, the Arduino IDE told you that the sketch needs to be in a folder with a certain name, and whether you want it to create that folder. That takes care of the correct folder structure, and it will move the main INO file into that folder, but it will not move the si5351.ino file, so you will have to move that manually, and after that, things should compile - still with a few warnings, but the compiler and linker will finish without any errors.?

Hello,
I try to compile antuino, but recevied many errors.


Best regards

Hi Gordon,

Just curious ... why do you prefer the V3 to the V4?

Great. Another project.
I am adding them at a higher rate than I can complete them... my legacy to my kids will be a shed full of unbuilt projects.
/ Gerry

I tried with a dipole set for 40m and a piece of wire, but nothing changes! What antenna is connected or not does not change!

Sounds like a great idea.

Have you thought of using the?ATSAMD processors?

I'd been looking at processors for an IoT project. Was amazed that the?ATSAMD processors, in many cases, cost less than the ATmega 8 bit processors. When you consider that many of these chips have built in USB support, eliminating the cost of the extra USB chip, that really helps the total cost.?

Maybe you could do a?Raduino board with a surface mount?ATSAMD directly on the board with the pins necessary to drive the display.?

It is also great these processors are supported with the familiar Arduino IDE and libraries. I still love the little Nano boards, though.

Tom, wb6b

Can you tell us a little more about your station? What antenna is being used with the BitX40? It actually sounds normal, but as if no antenna was connected.

=Vic=

Yes but, I found the smallest lead on the components in that area
picks up too much of harmonics from the relays. The high gain from
45MHz filter till finals plays havoc creating spurs.

Raj

If you want a shielded 680nF inductor, why not wind a few turns on a small yellow core ?

Too many folk seem to recommend different firmware up front. I prefer getting to know the rig with stock firmware. I have made over a hundred qsos with it, yes I will try kd8cec some day.

With no button pushes, rig should go into transmit with ptt.

Press a button to go into menus. Use main tuning to scroll through them. Another press takes you into the visible function. The ptt will not transmit until you exit the menu selection.?

Yes its easy to not get mic correct. Try a piece of wire to locate the pins for ptt.

Be patient and enjoy the journey. Give me same advice when I post any issue I have.

Curt

The short answer to your question on operating manual is no, not that I have found.? The one other point to remember is that any of the calibration inputs do not go into effect until you power cycle the Raduino/uBitx. That and the fact that you get an additional set of menus when you go into calibration mode.? I have been caught thinking that there was something wrong when I discovered that I had not power cycled or not switched back to the normal menu mode.

I gave up pretty quickly on the stock v4.3 code and 16x2 display for the KD8CEC software and Nextion color 2.4" display.? Because of that, I do not have any of the stock stuff implemented at this time, though I did keep the nano and display just in case.

If you have the funds, and in general are pleased with the radio, then I would suggest that upgrade, or the JackAl upgrade.? I have first hand experience with the KD8CEC software, and really like the full functionality that includes a way to manage the rig calibration and feature set.? I know that I would not go back to the original code.

If my? memory serves me correctly, the version should show up during the boot sequence, or may be on the screen in the lower right.? Otherwise, it is printed on the board.

One lower cost upgrade is to add another momentary push button to work in parallel with the button on the tuning encoder.? It can be a hassle to not turn the encoder at the same time that you press knob in.? ?That is a less than optimum solution in my experience.

Over all I like the rig, and have learned a lot from this group in trying to understand the signal purity issues.? That feature will not be available for the people that buy the v5 boards.

To John and others who replied to me,
Thanks very much for info. It puts me on the right track, for sure.
Great to have a pool of willing advisors at the stroke of the keyboard!? This is a great group and really fosters learning by doing.
Hope to see you on the air when I finish mods and added bells and whistles, and close up my v4 enclosure!

PS - From my street here in St. John's, I can see Signal Hill and Cabot Tower where, in?1901, Guglielmo Marconi received the first trans-Atlantic wireless message.??Always an inspiration to carry on in his foot steps and work some DX!

A good oscillator will dip.? the DIp is the response to power transfer.

As to the FET, a J310 will work as would a MPF102 or most any.

its just not that critical.? IF a 6C4 (low mu and low gain) oscillates
most anything will. Also a 6C4 is producing a lot more RF power
in a Eico710 (an easy .1W).

The key is the oscillator coils size and ability for it to couple to the
desired circuit.
