Hi,
Has anyone tried to connect LM386 instead of the stock audio chip. If I may request for the schematic.
Thanks

Re: Ubitx v6.1 cat control
Michael,
I had issues with the FT-817 radio selection with my v5 uBITX.? I tried the Yeasu FT-857 radio with 38400 baud, 8 data bits, 2 stop bits, None for the handshake, PTT CAT, Mode USB, and None for Split.? That has worked for me.??The thing I have found to be the issue most of the time is the baud rate. The CH340 chip does not seem to work above 38400.
As far as I know, the CAT interface is the same for v5 as well as v6.? Also, I believe that HF Signals is still using the same Nano with the CH340G chip.
I would give the above a try.

Re: Ubitx v6.1 cat control
I think this may be due to problems on the reset line of the nano. It should be documented so do a Google search as there are a number of solutions, depending on what will be best?for you.

I'd use FT-817 Commander to verify your port settings are correct
before digging deeper.
If you can't get that working, maybe it's driver problems with the
serial port pr a bad USB cable.
There are posts in the archives that a web search should turn up.

Thanks, David. The Google works so well for me that it didn't occur to me that it tossed it in the spam folder. I found 3 messages!?
I'll need to get in the habit of checking there first before I start whining. :)

All my trouble came from the fact that none of my computers had the correct usb driver.
You need the ch340.
A search here should turn up the specifics .... that's how I chased it down.

I found an ebay seller with a complete unopened? board, switch, and resistor at a great price. He assured me the instructions can be found here or on shop.kit-projects.com. I couldn't find them here (as I've mentioned) and I think their website makes such things available to those who purchase directly from them.

I searched here and did find a spot mod for CW ......
I'm just wondering if there is a spot function standard on the v6?
I do have the latest CEC sketch uploaded and it's working fine.

Re: Lofturs automatic magnetic loop and BITX
Hi John,
yes, that's the thread I was talking about.
You're right, I completly forgot about the burnt teensies and the serial trouble. That was quite an expensive and challenging adventure.
Using a V6 uBitx with the stock firmware is an undiscovered country, as you will have to modify the code on your own.
The stock firmware does include CAT control by now, so generally you can do it. However since I used KD8CECs software,
I don't know where and how you would have to change the stock code.
If you'll put in a 20x4 display or a nextion, you can just copy what I did and it should work.
I did shield the HF bridge, but I never tested it unshielded. So I cannot say if it really is necessary. I just used some double-sided
copper PCBs to built a wall/box in the case
19'' for portable is quite big. Please do share a photo when finished. I wish I had acces to such machines.

Re: IF shift needed for listening correctly V4 UBITX
#bitx20help
Hi,
I have ver3. I get garbled audio even after aligning the BFO. There is also a -ve frequency offset of 2khz. Any inputs as to how I could correct it.
Thanks in advance
Rajesh VU3RHU
Hi,
yes I confirm/agree the effectiveness of the KD8CEC Memory Manager to select transmit offset according to sidetone frequency (drop me a message if you need more infos).
And I also had exactly the same problem (IF shift needed for listening correctly) when I received my V3 :
it was actually a BFO misalignment.

Re: Lofturs automatic magnetic loop and BITX
Thanks?for your post
It is here I think?
I’m glad I asked as I’d have probably spent ?300 on busting teensy before getting anything to work.
I’m going to be using v6 - do you think that will be an issue with the included display and not using the nextion ?
I’d be happy with two 4x20 LC to be fair - I just want the controller to follow the Raduino and hopefully with enough ferrite choke and low noise motors it will be ok.? Is it advisable to shield the rf swr/pwr BRIDGE I have for controller with extra shielding from Raduino and what material should?I use?
Hopefully my radio club opens soon as I think I’ll get out of depth pretty quickly when having to diagnose TTL and such like as I have limited access to test equipment.
Anyway the dream continues and I’m sure I’ll make it.? I want to put both projects in 19” for portable use and laser cut the front panel - I work in schools and have three laser machines at my disposal including three makerbots for 3D print- which I’ve used to make the magnetic loop controller mounts.
I don’t actually plan on transmitting with this until filtering and harmonics have been qualified and I have my next license level - which I am hoping to take once lockdown ends.

You can find the details somewhere in this group, I can't look it up at the moment.
I have not yet seen Lofthurs controller with a TFT yet, I was using the 4x20 LC-Display and a Nextion on the uBitx.

So I am looking for troubleshooting, schematic, etc to repair. I could not find any info on the kit-projects web page, and a search here brings up different agc kits.
