10 MHz crystal matching
Hello, I just measured the resonance frequency of ten 10 MHz crystals. I found a set of four within 30 Hz and another set of four within 45 Hz. How does this compare to other peoples

Re: Inductors - RX Probs
That wire is large enough that it should not have fractured within its enamel coating. For L1 - 3, an ohmmeter will confirm continuity. For T1 and T3 -- this is worth asking -- did you use

Inductors - RX Probs
Hi all Looking for some help here. Testing the RX today, AF amp clearly OK, the simple tests in the text work out fine i.e. Touch base Q4 static, Q3 more static, Q2 less static. Trimmers with L1,2 &

Re: Chip pad
And an even easier -- yet vastly more expensive -- method is to use one of the etched adapter boards that brings out the pins from a surface-mount chip to 0.1-in spacing pads. SMD chips can be

Re: Digital dial for BITX20 using PIC
A very nice readout. But for anyone wanting something *really* simple, have a look at my 2-chip binary readout counter http://www.hanssummers.com/radio/sfreq/index.htm . Also see my BITX20 in

Re: Chip pad
An easier method to make a pad for non-SMD IC's is to use 0.1" Veroboard instead of plain copper laminate. Then only one saw/knife cut is required. KISS? Duncan G4DFV

Re: Chip pad
That's what I do too, when I need to. I use firm pressure on one of those cheap orange plastic "craft" knives. You can produce a nice thin cut with this method. The LM386 in the BITX20 I just mounted

Re: A tale of two tap washers...the saga goes on, an on
Sam & other BITXers Your measurements explain my results then. Instead of tap/faucet washers I used 1/4 inch slices cut from "1/2 inch" PVC pipe (the schedule-40 or medium-thick-wall type). These

Digital dial for BITX20 using PIC
Hi fellow builders, posting this link for information http://www.wia.org.au/armag/2002/AR_Sept02_Digital_Freq_Display.pdf - its a digital frequency readout using a PIC micro with user definable IF

Re: Chip pad
Very nice pads, applicable to many projects. I use an 8 pin Motorola microcontroller in my Morse Code training device, and this will be great for those projects too. Info on the MCD is on my webpage
