Roger, the Raduino connections are confusing but all is necessary is to plug the 5wire connector as show is the attach. Actually the extra connections will be useful for future mods. Works okay

I am with the Anne Arundel Radio Club and there are a few of us that are building the uBITx and the Jack AL board. If you would? like to join us please let me?know. I am sure we could help you with the build.??

Re: UBitx v5 Not Saving Calibration or BFO adjustments with CEC v 1.20 Nextion
Can you explain? I tried with once push of the encoder but nothing changed

Roger, All Raduino's are now built to be plugged into a uBitx, all that has changed is the connector. (But note that the firmware loaded into the Raduino is different between Bitrx40 and uBitx.) The 5 pin cable from a Bitx40 does work, just plug it into one side of the Raduino connector as described in the above post. Yes, this should be better documented up on hfsignals.com. But they may feel that the diagram at the top of?? is sufficient for most to blunder their way through somehow. It does show which 5 pins your cable should connect to, and the orientation. This is further described in post? ? /g/BITX20/message/66263Jerry, KE7ER

Thank you Vaughn. ?I would agree with you but sadly, my Raduino connections are not like the one in the picture¡. see picture below.

I too have one of these, great little builds but you do need to research.
Best instruction I've found is here

Re: Speaker connection on jack
Hi Dave, ? I did the same on my uBITX speaker jack. It works but it was difficult to solder, and the end result is not very pretty. ? The PCB is a great idea. ? 73, ? Jim KX4TD ?

Subject: Re: [BITX20] Speaker connection on jack ? I have hooked up the wires from the radio to the ring and tip of the socket and left the base float. That way the jack becomes insensitive and you can plug in stereo headphones and both sides work or an external speaker with a mono jack.
It is a good idea to solder the socket to a perf board and solder the wires to it. Will make the connection stronger. and have less stress on the socket.

Re: UBitx v5 Not Saving Calibration or BFO adjustments with CEC v 1.20 Nextion
I am sure you single push the encoder and not put to save settings

I will try but i think i've tried also with encoder press; i follow this step: setup on , set calibration, zero beating with reference station like RWM, press PTT, setup off. On power on value is lost.
Thank u

Re: UBitx v5 Not Saving Calibration or BFO adjustments with CEC v 1.20 Nextion
It should save if you press in the rotary encoder once - have you tried that?
Thanks

Re: UBitx v5 Not Saving Calibration or BFO adjustments with CEC v 1.20 Nextion
Yes i use ubitx manager but , if my master calibration value is 18 how i can add this value in the cal value in the software? 18 correspond to?
Thank you?

Re: New wiring diagram version
OK thanks Mark. It's still a work in progress but here is the version I've worked on yesterday evening. I've changed lot of texts and still going to improve !

Re: New wiring diagram version
Bonjour Adrien,
Very nicely done merci!? Of course, feel free to add improvements all you want.? it is nice too, that you posted the changes like this so everyone can see the updates.? Maybe afterwards you can change the wiki image to this amended one so there will be the newest version there too.
Cheers,
Mark.

Re: Ubitx V5 board and holes sizes
Adrien,It is a scratch built case. I have a machine shop, so the case was fairly easy to design and fabricate. Kind regards, Christopher

Very cool case Christopher ! It's based on an existing case of built from scratch ?

Re: Project : Ubitx go box with batteries (topic will be updated upon works done)
In fact, after some researches, it's not that easy to find a cookie box which match with my needs. So, I finally plan to 3d print the side of the complete box (in black) and machine some Dibond sheets (3mm thick, 2 sheets of aluminium of about 0.5mm and inside a core of PE plastic). The top will be all removable once opened. The box will be as small as possible and resistant with the 3d printed parts, en-sandwiched with the Dibond sheets. Here are some pictures of the box :   -- 73's Adrien F4IJA
