Re: uBitx TX performance with frequency
Bob, Yes, I've seen similar behaviour on my homebrew uBitx. Increasing the drive will overload the PA at 80 meters but will hardly increase the power output at the high bands. I even made a change in

Re: SMD Group Build
IIRC this is the place where I bought SMD parts some time ago. They still have the day planner hole pattern. I find that very convenient. I put the resistors and caps in one binder and whenever I

BITX 40 for sale
Selling my BITX40 to raise sheckles for another rig. The unit operates perfectly, and gets good reports from the Noon-Time Net here in the Pacific Northwest. Equipped with the Baofeng speaker-mic,

Re: Software support Request for Full QSK BITX40
Oh my... Pretty much the responses I’ve anticipated...? Nothing should be considered ready for prime time... 1uF caps are big... They exacerbate problems you want (might want) to investigate in

Re: SMD Group Build
They have, Jack. Well, sort of but you would have to adopt my favourite 0805 size. See eBay item 131871397971 A good assortment and at a good price. So good that any mark up in the price must be

Re: Almost all of the firmware has been modified to fix known bugs and enhance CAT communications.
You have a lot of experience with NTP servers using GPS. Excellent! I just needed a solution because the USB sound card was too big. So I decided to remove the USB connector from the RPI and insert

Re: SMD Group Build
Another option would be to make the kits yourself, if you wanted to market them to your club. Use E3 resistor values (explanation

I just ordered two of the "middle" one. I thought I had checked eBay several months ago...must have missed these. Now...off to look for caps! Thanks, Diver!! Jack, W8TEE To: [email protected]

Re: SMD Group Build
I wish someone would put together an assortment of, say, 40 common values, quantity 100 of each value and market it for some reasonable markup for resistors and caps. For the club build, I'd prefer

Re: Oscilloscope for Beginners - A story
There is a very strong connection of ham radio and tek. Many of our heros are alumni of tek. They invented many things. I found out they invented the tunnel diode, made their own devices, displays. -

The rigol ds1052e is very good for general use. I can see upto 200 mhz on it. Works well, it has a nominal spectrum analyzer too. - f

Re: SMD Group Build
Jack, Just as a point of reference: Going for 5% tolerance 1k ohm resistors, and buying 1000 at a time, a quick search on digikey gives me: 1000x 0603 resistors: $2.07 1000x 0805 resistors:

Re: SMD Group Build
It looks more like a happy grain of salt to me! I have very little experience myself with SMD's, but they don't scare me anymore. Perhaps a partial reason is because I can't see most of them... Jack,
