I don’t know about the version six, but I used to use my version three by just connecting to the mic & the speaker and the push to talk, the way I do with any rig, and it worked pretty well! ? I did my first WINLINK using a vacuum tube Heathkit SB 102. ?So I expect you can take any single side band rig and make it work ? Just be sure you don’t have distortion, and get the frequency within about 100 Hz. ?You can use WWV to check what you have done to calibrate.?

I do have a question though, I do like to run digital modes. Has anyone figured out a way to hook a SignaLink USB up to the v6??

Re: Test equipment recommendations
Thanks for the heads up Jack. I hadn’t spied that you were the author of that article! It’ll be an interesting experiment that will hopefully contribute to my Intermediate licence.?
i snagged a scope for ?50 - don’t know yet if it will work. I’ll also be building test equipment such as RF tracer, sig gen etc. I’m also planning a SWR / power meter with a stockton bridge and a nano. Fun fun fun.?

Re: CW Menu missing CEC v1.2 Ubitx v6
Does the code upgrade address the TX/RX switching time delay? This seems to make paddle use a little difficult?

Re: LIVE icon added to bitxmap.com
Of the 5 or 6 times that I looked, I was the only "Live" uBiTx on the map.? It might be useful if others would set their icon during the Sunday scheduled net.? At least then you would know that someone was on, and we know the frequency is either 7,277 MHz US, or 7.177 MHz Europe.

Re: LIVE icon added to bitxmap.com
I was able to display my "Live" icon.? Did not see any other Live icons at that time. Man is never satisfied with what he has.? Now, it would be nice to be able to see a list of "Live" stations along with their frequencies.

It would also be nice if someone could design a case for 3D printing.
Maybe design an enclosure like Elecraft has. Flat panels and connectors to join the panels together.?

I have had CTS for years as well. I went to an Atlas Chiropractor and my problems have greatly improved.?
Yes I would like the chapter also please ? 72 Aaron K5ATG
QRPARCI # 16443 GQRP # 16389 4SQRP # 1080 ? ? Greetings Jack,
I am interested in the keyboard CW keyboard/keyer chapter you offered. The CTS has returned after three operations, and over two years of recovery time. Still enjoy CW, but spend most times listening on the sidelines, and not getting in on the fun. The various keys are on the desk, but used rarely. Thank you.

? Hello all,
I have come across an un-built, in-opened Bitx40 kit from Nov. 2016 I'd be willing to let go for $50 shipped ConUS. Let me repeat that - the package is unopened, still sealed tight just as HFSIGNALS sent it to me.
The details of this discontinued, no longer available kit are here:
This would be a great project for the current shelter-in-place situation, and there's plenty of time to sort out the build before ARRL Field Day next month, when the bands will be rich with targets for this QRP Radio.

Re: TX / RX uBitx V6 relay sticking
Hi Amie,
From ver5 on, I think the rigs are designed to have the 10m LPF in at all times.? Since this help with reducing upper harmonics, and there is no harm to leave it on all the time, you might want to do this too.
