Hi Laksh,
I do not have a PCB from the Raduino version 6 available. I am preparing a new batch of PCB in kit form with some minor modifications. Only the 7805 regulator and the sockets would have to be soldered, the rest of the components would be factory welded.
?
I will need a few days to prepare it and then I will be able to report the cost.
?
Greetings,

Re: V6 Arrival, club project, getting Extra Class hams to build something
Bill,
I liked the V6 uBitx from the moment I turned it on. I am using it with my G5RV to begin with. All the bands were hopping and it sounded so clear to my old ears, even w hearing aids. (It sounded much better in all respects than a V3 that I had for a while two years ago.) The tuning knob is touchy as it increases the tuning speed as you turn it faster or slower, almost like it jumps ahead if I get rambunctious. The audio for CW needs a narrower filter but I have those. I just like the sound for CW and SSB. I should,have turned on one of my Elecraft rigs to compare but it worked right off and I did my happy dance. I will check the power output next. If it puts out anywhere near the 10 watts it sounds like a great starter rig for a newbie. I liked the touch screen ¡°just because¡±¡¡ even the built in speaker gave fairly good audio.
I wish the manuals (building and using) had more detail. The length of some of the screws was definitely wrong in the build instructions. And there was no info about which jack was for which (key, mic, earphone). I had to resort to the pictures in another hams YT video to see which was which. Also getting to the ¡°setup¡± screen was not in the manual¡.. no mention of a very long press of the tuning knob. A newbie would plug something in the wrong jack and blow something I am sure. It also took a long search of the Wiki to find other features. I didn¡¯t expect a QRP Labs style manual but a few more correct pages would have been helpful and prevented probable mistakes.
A fun radio for $209 USD so far. Just needed something else to play with.
Our radio club is trying to get a building project going as we have many ¡°text book Extras¡± who have never built anything. I know many think life is too short for QRP but we are trying to give them the pleasure of saying they actually know which end of a soldering pen to hold onto. So I have ordered an ME40+, a Pixie with case, a Cricket 80 with Pixie Switch and an bag of 80 meter crystals, and a few other easy builds and will write an article for our club paper and do some show and tells to see what interest there is. Breadboard Radio will be selling again after January and those are fun. If you have any ideas I am open minded. Some are afraid of toroids but I will even hand hold those who take on the challenge and teach them. We want to build whatever rig the group chooses at a series of our Tuesday night Project Nights¡. We built tape measure beams and attenuators for fox hunting this fall and had a great time using them.
Like I said, I am open to any ideas to get radio club members salivating to build SOMETHING! Just like I do when the little brown truck shows up at my door. I would rather build and test than operate. My wife¡¯s eyes roll when the truck comes but she too knows it is cheaper than a psychiatrist and less trouble (for both of us) than a mistress¡¡I was a ham before I met her and you know the rest of that statement¡. Every man or women needs a hobby. As a retired family doctor I saw those with hobbies lived a much more satisfying lives. Sorry for the preaching but I saw a lot of untreated depression in my 44 years in practice. We hams should sponsor a TV commercial about the mental benefits of a hobby. Build on!

?Hi Dave,
Let me know what you think of it after you get to use it. I have worked on some of the uBitX rigs for other guys, including the V6. I won't be buying a V6 because I already have a V3 with some refinements. That touch screen is not attractive to me (not repulsive either) so no need for a V6. I am betting you will like it. I like having mine here even though I have other gear that I like.

Ordered mine on the first and got it today as well! Would have been even faster, but there was a big festival in India. I have it assembled, tomorrow I¡¯ll put up the antenna and the fun begins. My first HF radio, so should be interesting! Eventually I¡¯d like to learn how to work Js8call on it. enjoy! I look forward to future posts!

Ashhar,
Will there be any problem if put the Arduino Nano back in the sBitx, and
use it for control and i2c, and then use a common x86 PC connected to
the arduino and audio codec?
Cheers,

You have to cut the output track to the antenna and insert the circuit using coaxial cable.

Both are simple modifications to make and with little danger of causing damage. 
No additional adapter is necessary. The Raduino32 PCB is inserted into the same socket as the original Raduino Nano and into the Audio connector. 3.??????How to link the signal from Vol. H (detector circuit)??for??S meter function?
The VOL-H signal is taken from the Audio connector on the PCB mentioned above and the entire VOL-H signal detector circuit for the S "-meter" signal is included in the Raduino 32 circuit (LM86, 1N4148, etc).?In addition, the Audio connector is replicated in the Raduino32 for other uses (VOL-H, VOL-M, MIC and SPK). 4.???????I downloaded??software for ESP32 from ?.

6 Where??can I get such Raduino32 module?
At the moment I have no PCB available. I ordered 10 but have already shipped them all. In current version (Raduino32 v6) all SMD components are factory welded. You just have to solder some THT component (7805) and the sockets for the modules.
If there is a demand for several PCB (at least 3 or 4) I could order some more.?Although he would probably take advantage of it to make some improvement.

Hi Dave,
Let me know what you think of it after you get to use it. I have worked on some of the uBitX rigs for other guys, including the V6. I won't be buying a V6 because I already have a V3 with some refinements. That touch screen is not attractive to me (not repulsive either) so no need for a V6. I am betting you will like it. I like having mine here even though I have other gear that I like.
73,
Bill KU8H

Re: Net Report 10 December

Sounds like fun on an active net.? Is this a BITX net?

Re: Net Report 10 December
Ok, just realized I put December instead of November, must be all those Christmas decorations at Walmart messing with me! Sorry, Net Report was for 10 NOVEMBER.?

The band was in very good shape this morning and being net control was a lot of fun. We had 27 QNI and I only needed 4 QSPs. All stations were heard here but those 4 were too lite for a reliable copy--those were in MS, AL and TX, close in for me. Thanks, Rich (WGX), David (1E), and Dr. Bob (UCR) for the relay help today. Lots of very nice fall weather reported today, but Ed K1UQE was the winner of the polar bear with 29F and rain/snow in the forecast. Bundle up there Ed! Jim NK7B was close behind with 30F. Chet reported in /MM and was anchored off east coast of Cape Sable with FB weather. Capt. Bob said he would make another Facebook post today of nostalgic pictures of past WW CW Net members. I have really enjoyed seeing those and you need to check them out if you haven't yet, our net has such a rich history of great ops and mariners. Lloyd VE1VEI was on the skype chat today, still in the hospital and is scheduled for surgery in the next couple of days, keep him in your thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery. Hope to hear him on the net again very soon!? Hope everyone has a great day, thanks for checking in today!? 73! Joe AA5AD?
