Re: Sbitx bandpass filter
Mike, the Rx line is derived by inverting and delaying the tx line.

Re: Sbitx bandpass filter
Ashar, I have been studying the tr_switch code sin sbitx.c. I see code like
digitalWrite(TX_LINE, HIGH);
which seems to control the TR switch (disconnecting the rcvr from the PA) and controlling the

Re: sBITX out of band transmit
Thanks for the advice. I will take a look.

Re: Sbitx bandpass filter
Ashhar,
Thanks a lot for the advice!! Taking a closer look at the schematic of the gpa10 amplifier, it looks like the pa gets completly disconected when on rx. But still have to attention to the

Re: sBITX out of band transmit
In the sbitx.c, there is an array that defines the band edges. You can edit
them to get to your desired frequency. Remember to rebuild the program
after editing it.

Re: Sbitx bandpass filter
Juan,
There is lurking danger with the t/r circuitry.
As the entire receiver is bidirectional, when you go from transmit back to
receive, there can a millisecond or less of time when the rx power

Re: Why is sbitx spectrum limited to 25k?
The ideal place to tap would be between the crystal filter and the mixer.
This can be a very interesting and powerful second receiver.
Here is how it will work.
1. Consider that an rtl sdr is

Re: Sbitx bandpass filter
Hi everyone,
Today to test the amp, did setup the lpf bits manually from 10m to 6m. Had to add 20db amp between the 2nd if output and the bandpass filter board. Power output is 14-15w up to 10m and

Re: sBITX out of band transmit
On the hardware side of things you have to consider band pass filters which are band specific.

Re: Why is sbitx spectrum limited to 25k?
The IF frequency is approximately 40 MHz. ?I am not sure of the actual frequency. ?It would be the center of the 40 MHz crystal filter which should be a few KHz less that 40 MHz.

Re: Why is sbitx spectrum limited to 25k?
Another question.? If I wanted to tap in an external SDR for more spectrum bandwidth.? I'm assuming J7 before the crystal filter would be the place to connect.? What is the IF frequency?

sBITX out of band transmit
A good buddy of mine got an sBITX V3 and I upgraded his and mine with V4.1.
Now he is really wanting me to set his up to transmit outside our frequency privileges. I'm pretty sure that is something

Re: Why is sbitx spectrum limited to 25k?
Hi William,
The limiting factor is the 40MHz crystal filter, not the audio codec.? Farhan used the higher-frequency 40MHz crystals to accommodate the 25 MHz bandwidth.? The original uBiTx used 12

Why is sbitx spectrum limited to 25k?
The audio codec supports up to 96k, so wondering why the sbitx is limited to 25k?
