Re: No power out
If the display works, it's likely in the Si5351 somehow. ?Replacing just that $1 USD chip would be tough, it has some awfully small pins. ?Best path forward might be to buy an Si5351 board from

AAARRRRRGGGHHH! Lost it again. After? reassembling into case I no longer get power out on transmit. Receive works. Voltages on Q15 look correct on receive and transmit. 0.17 A draw on receive jumps

Re: uBITX Questions
Greetings, I need to make a parts order for another project I am doing, so I looked at the uBITX schematics to find some extra parts to pad my parts order. I have put the parts list I made up on a

Re: No power out
No, you can't...but you can easily build a substitute with all the parts and methods easily available. And you can build a VFO to handle frequency any time. john AD5YE

Re: No power out
If he can't get it working I'd sell my bitx40 board. My setup came with a bad raduino board and I can't replace just that.

Re: uBITX Questions
Hi Farhan, I'm really glad to see you are working on the next version of the BITX project (good job! :-), but please let me ask how the BITX40 works (Dale - sorry for of topic here). Could you please

Re: No power out
You need first to measure the voltages on the board. If you get no current gain by adjusting RV1, then probably you have no gate voltage. Start by connecting your power supply to the board with an

Re: Bad arduino board
Brian, I reuploaded the Sketch to the BITx40 Radiuno board and replaced the 25mHz crystal and still no workie. ?So that one is going into the junk bin. Wished I could have helped. ?You might

Re: BITX attenuator
Hi Peter, Thanks for replay! See my comments inline below... Sure. I fully agree. Based on my own experiments I can just confirm: theory is sometimes very far from the practice :-) That's

Re: Using switching power supply....
Between the power supply and the capacitors that Arv K7HKL recommends you might also construct a common-mode choke from a junk box powdered iron toroid you might have (T-37 or T-50 material best) and

Re: Using switching power supply....
Rob N3DSY Add a large capacitor (470 to 4700 mfd) across the DC output and any of them should be acceptable. Might also add a 0.005 across that larger capacitor to insure that higher frequency

Re: Baofeng microphone mod for BITX
I'm curious why you replaced the Microphone's electret 'capsule' with the one provided in the kit? Aren't these mic's all electret anyway? I've bought a couple of these on eBay - one for an ACTUAL

Re: MAR-3SM+ and new display/VFO board coming
Howard: I wrote the assembly manual for 24 members of my club who have already built the kit. About 5 of those had never built anything before, so I feel that the board and the code are stable.

No power out
Hi all, although not a new subject, now that there are many more users, I'm hoping to get some direction to fix the problem. My friend had his Bitx working but added a speaker and accidently hit the

Hi Jack, Forgive me, but as a newbe to the group, I¡¯m still playing catch up with the BITX project and your own MAR-35M and display board. I did go to the QRPGuys and look at the analyzer

Re: QRP Labs Low Pass Filters
I forgot to say that, if anyone is wondering if they have similar issues a quick check is to measure the input SWR with the filter terminated in 50 Ohms. Simulation (and measurement) shows that the

Re: QRP Labs Low Pass Filters
To complete the story .... I removed 1 turn from each of the 20m and 12m inductors - the responses are now satisfactory. For the record, the 20m -3dB frequency moved from 15.00MHz to 15.61MHz, and
