Re: Lista component for ubitx 5

OM
the most difficult to source components (crystals, toroids, etc) can easily be seen here.? the other parts are more common, except the new v5 suggests using some VHF NPNs in the 45 MHz amplifier.? I don't know if there is a documented parts list.? Most of us purchase a circuit board kit to assemble and modify.?

Re: Original Bitx20 design
Thank you Mark for that. I want to build it and if it works then I can make mods. I will build each section in modules so that if a mod doesn't quite work the original should work assuming no major snafus.?

Re: Inexpensive eBay Amplifier Kits
Hi N8DAH,
Thanks for the tip on Wa2EBY.? When I saw that GoldDregger Video had purchased the boards and done a complete build and test on the amp AND the accompanying? multi band filter, I went to FAR circuits and ordered the boards
They are 19.50 US + $3.5 shipping

Thanks for your advice, Evan./// It's model V4. Thanks!

This looks like a BFO adjustment issue to me.? I believe that the carrier is in the waterfall as well.? Another possibility is the balanced mixer with T7 and D5 may have issues.? You could have a filter issue, not sure how to test that without a spectrum analyser.? Last that I can think of off hand is an error in the nano program, though this is the least likely.
I had a similar issue, though it was on LSB.? Adjusting the BFO solved my issue.
FWIW

Hello everyone! I would like to
share with you some informations, I installed a new Inverted V antenna
for 20m and I discovered that my uBitx is transmitting some
"shadow" signal along the center frequency. I can't remember
seeing this before, when I was using a zig-zag dipole. This is not
happening in LSB. Does anyone know what is this if can be somehow
corrected ?

Re: Inexpensive eBay Amplifier Kits
Paul, my concern with anything setup for 13.56MHz is the bias levels for the amp, simply because there are no applications I am aware of that call for linear operation in that ISM band!

Re: Antuino - the antenna analyzer
Obvious that only Farhan can bring out the price at the due time

Update:? it works now.? The problem was a cold solder joint on the batt(-) pin of the barrel connector.? ?I should have looked more closely before posting!

The unit I received at FDIM works fine with Vcc from the barrel jack, but not from the battery pack.? ?
Peeking at the PCB, the power circuit has changed from the schematic you posted on Dec 27th:? there are polarity protection diodes for each input now.? But it looks like batt(-) erroneously goes to the barrel jack instead of ground.? Would you mind checking it?? ?Should I cut this trace and add a wire to ground?? Or is there a better method?

No I was merely be philosophical and maybe slightly trivial. In spite of my call Dayton is about 10 hours away by car, but I should consider making the trip. Nice there are wares to consider,? perhaps a bunch of Jackals were sold. I honestly need bench time more than a trip.
Bruce may solve whatever it is rather soon. Sounds like a real nice instrument Farhan and his friends have provided. Safe travels everyone.

This is right where I'm at now. Sooooo many configuration tips and absolutely none of them are the same. I especially loved the one about setting BFO by tuning to static till it sounded "good". ?
Also took me a while to finally realize that even though the config menu options are the same using CEC firmware, they work NOTHING like the factory setup. Finding a partially written manual for CEC clued me in. Using WWV is a great idea, except I live a stones throw from it and WWV is very much NOT NVIS. Gave me an excuse to finally order a proper signal generator.
