Re: Impedance calculation rule crystal filter
The webpage Gerard pointed to keeps things simple by ignoring phase.
The L network example on that webpage assumes purely resistive input and output impedances.

Re: Impedance calculation rule crystal filter
The calculation is simple, but the concept of impedance is not always easy.
Few radio amateurs without an engineering background ever figure this stuff out completely.
Impedance is like resistance,

Re: Impedance calculation rule crystal filter
The IF amps and associated DBMs were 50 ohm not 500 ohms.
The TIA amp is 50 ohms and the DBM is also 50 ohms.
The actual network is L network and the calculation is simple.
Note C250 and 216 are not

Impedance calculation rule crystal filter
Hello,
In the Ubitx V6 documentation, it is noted that the 45 Mhz filter must see an impedance of 500 Ohm on each side. See on uBITX V6 – HF SIGNALS ( https://www.hfsignals.com/index.php/ubitx-v6/

Re: Low transmit power using wsjtx and jtdx
#sBitx
AE9J,
The hw_settings.ini file is in the data folder in the sbitx folder
/home/pi/sbitx/data
I suggest copying the entire folder as your customization settings and the log file are also stored

Re: Low transmit power using wsjtx and jtdx

So where is this "hw_settings.ini" file?
Does this file get changed by the "txcal" command?
I guess I should copy that file off somewhere before I even think about changing it.
Thanks.

Re: sBitx printed case
Agreed!
Also, I found the following on the sbitx group on Facebook that I think will be of interest to POTA operators:

It is just a matter of loading the appropriate overlay to make Linux use the installed RTC as system RTC.
I use:
|dtoverlay=i2c-rtc-gpio,ds1307,bus=2,i2c_gpio_sda=13,i2c_gpio_scl=6

Then wipe the

JJ,
If the address of the RTC? is 68 without the sBitx program running, you should be able to sync the RTC to the Pi. That doesn't look like the RTC address.

Re: sBITX 64Bit Pi Image Available

I wish that the sBitx had used the standard I2C overlays instead of bit-banging. Back when the sBitx first appeared, I was not convinced that the WM8731 codec and the Si5351A could not work together

Thanks for the link, Jon. This is really good info. I started to play around with some of the commands and may go further to see if I can use it in the 64bit build.
This is a good way to test the RTC
