Re: SMD Group Build
Mornin' Ken:
You're right, and I may have glossed over this idea too quickly. This might be a great way to get them to try at low expense and without insulting their fabrication abilities. I do have

Re: Multi band Radiuno V2.0xz
Band (filter) switching would require some IO pins to drive relays.
Unfortunately there's only one free IO pin left: pin A2 (previously used
for calibration).
With just one IO pin we could only switch

Re: uBitx TX performance with frequency
Hi,
I tried the uBITX with FT-8 on 20m, and I could easily hit 5W out and probably higher.? I've observed that typical SSB usage doesn't come close to CW output power, but the signals coming out of

Re: uBitx TX performance with frequency
The simple way to do this is to do what Hans did on the 5W PA he produces at QRP-Labs…. There is a second set of pads on the PCB that has the right pinout for the RDxx devices. That way you can

Re: uBitx TX performance with frequency
This may be a futile attempt if the intermediate gain stages (pre-driver and drivers) fall off with frequency too. I have not done this myself yet… still on my list… to actually publish a table

Multi band Radiuno V2.0xz
I'm using V2.03 on my bitx40 with great results. With all the nice features, I was thinking about adding an extra band or two or even more to the rig.?
Would it be feasible to add multi band options

Re: uBitx TX performance with frequency
Thanks all.
I'm not looking to stun pigeons, but it would be nice to have 5 watts on 30, 20 and higher if the solar activity ever picks up.
There is also a RD16HVF1 discussion in the "irf520 vs

Re: SMD Group Build
Hello Jack, W8TEE,
The SMD components are not the only thing that you might need.
Also look into:
Solder paste in a syringe with application needles (~ $20+ for 35gm)
Toaster Oven or Electric Skillet

I know it will increase the price, but how about switching over to the

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
