Re: 80m hexfet power amplifier by W7ZOI
Mike: As noted in the notes to the amplifier, Farhan uses ceramic capacitors AND recommends a maximum RF voltage of 50v or so. Mica caps are the best for such an application, but good ones nowadays

Re: 80m hexfet power amplifier by W7ZOI
What do folks do for the Mica Caps in all these band pass filters. In the old days I had lots. I know they are great and usually over 200V. But I see they are $2-3!! EACH! Ouch! Mouser has some. Mike,

Re: 80m hexfet power amplifier by W7ZOI
Hi Jerry, Yeah, my BitX is fine as it is, even at 5W, 12V. I'm thinking about hooking it up to some other HB rigs begging for more power... putting about 0.5 ~ 2W out on CW or DSB. Gotta love the

Re: 80m hexfet power amplifier by W7ZOI
If you have a Bitx40 it already has a comparable IRF510 linear amp, giving around 20 to 25 Watts when powered from 24v. I do like the LED RF detector on the output. Jerry

Oops..I did it this time....
I cut jumper L5 and replaced it with a variable inductor from out of the junkbox. It was fun going through the filter from lower to upper side band. Now when I power up, the raduino won't show

Re: Bitx40 All done
This Bezel fits the supplied LCD. You use flat head mounting screws, this covers them. I use supports when printing it, with front side up. This is rear view. The recess snugly fits the metal rim of

Re: Bitx40 All done
I just ordered some simple ones with no screw holes that I can custom my way in, thanks for the offer Dave wish I had my 3d printer still. I plan to get a hand saw, the hand work doesn't bother me yet
