Re: Variable power control
Maybe Jerry's idea of only boosting on TX would be the way to go in removing any hash. Jack, W8TEE To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 2, 2018 4:56 PM Subject: Re: [BITX20] Variable power

Re: No TX

That is fine Joe. Every board will not behave the same or even meters read the same. Check why there is no RF getting to the finals.

Re: Variable power control
Much of the rig power during receive is going to the Nano and display and si5351.?? Could cut that significantly with a 12 to 3.3v buck switcher (using 3.3v display and processor) if you could get

Re: #ubitx Power output on 40 / 80 m with high current levels

Incidentally, it would be nice to see exactly how your particular layout differs from that of hfsigs. Can you upload a picture or two? And I presume it is more through-the-hole and not smd parts. No?

Good job, Alex: The more you explain, the more it looks like there is VHF oscillation occurring at the lower frequencies. Jerry's suggestion of adding 10 ohm resistors to the gates is designed to
