Re: BitX 40v3 parts list?
Is the mike the small round can like a transistor, but with no leads ? If so, I have one. I was handed this kit by the guy who bought it. -- Jim/N4AAB

Re: BitX 40v3 parts list?
The mike should be there. It is a small part slightly bigger than a watch battery and needs to have leads soldered to it. As to the speaker, it must be8 ohms. v/r Fred W4JLE

Re: W8TEE TFT/ VFO DISPLAY BOARD BOARD
Some of your encoder questions are answered in the manual. The resistor isn't needed as I use the pull-ups in the MEGA. The 0.1uF caps are for debouncing. They probably are not needed either. If you

Fw: [BITX20] BitX 40v3 parts list?
You should have an electret mic cartridge and a NO push button switch in your parts. Attached is an article I wrote for QRP Quarterly that describes how I built a mic from those parts. Jack, W8TEE

Re: BitX 40v3 parts list?
Hi all, I'm new to the group, and just built my BitX this weekend. I found that the 3.5 mm audio jack that came with the kit can be wired so that it uses a speaker, unless headphones are plugged in.

Re: BitX 40v3 parts list?
I'm using a small 2" speaker without issues. However, I think a headset is the way to go unless you're demonstrating the unit. Jack, W8TEE To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, July 9, 2017 10:48 AM

I would be interested in a parts list as well. At our last club meeting one of the new hams said the Bitx40 kit was over his head and he asked if someone else could complete it. So I volunteered. I

Re: No RF Power Output From Bitx40
Before you yank out the IRF, do this check: Power the board and final, disconnect MIC and with PTT pressed check if 12V is getting to the IRF drain.

Re: No RF Power Output From Bitx40
I have some IF510's on order. I hope that's the problem because it will be an easy fix. It's worth a shot.? I've never tried transmitting with this radio without a dummy load attached.

Re: No RF Power Output From Bitx40
IRF510 - A tip for those replacing the transistor. Don't try to remove it with a solder sucker. The pins fit too tightly into the circuit board and unless you have a way of heating all three pins at
