Jury is still out as to how those parts got blown, and I am genuinely curious.
Most commercial radio gear that comes in plastic cases uses some sort of thin metallic film

Re: Si5351 Programming Flowchart
That flowchart describes how to code low level si5351 routines,
not how to use those routines.? So probably not of much intereset
to most of the readers of this forum.

Re: Aluminum enclosure
A clever approach suggested by VU3PSZ. Read the piece here on reducing the Raduino height.

Re: wrong frequency after software change.

Another strange twist which may be related. I changed a BITX40 rad to uBITX
Raduino. Hardware change, you remove the 5 pin plug and put a header in its
place. I really looked hard for any other

No, I was dead serious.
Suggesting that someone has to be crazy to use a plastic case for an xcvr is uncalled for. Much of my work is done with an eye to the ham (or potential ham) who has limited

Re: Second batch of uBITX shipping?
#ubitx
If it is coming with USPS from outside the USA you most
probably have to sign for.
That is what the postman tells me each time I get a package
from China.
I rarely get DHL and it varies.

Re: wrong frequency after software change.

Thank you Jack, the problem is that it shows all the same name because it takes the project
name uBitx20. Every project I downloaded has a new folder name but inside
Arduino it shows uBitx20.

He did say "no antenna connected"
though that is not quite the same as saying "nothing connected to the Bitx40 antenna port".
Perhaps he still had coax from Bitx40 into the tuner.

Re: Blown by nearby transceiver

I think I am with Chris on this. Early on, I fired up an Icom 735 a couple of feet away from the Bitx40 and it did indeed take out Q13 but left nary a mark.

Re: Blown by nearby transceiver

My guess is he made a mistake and the 725 was wired to the bitx via coax
and atu the poor bitx got a big dose of rf it can be fixed

Re: Blown by nearby transceiver

Very curious.?
Blowing R131 and R132 might be due to a very large signal showing up at Q13,
though I would expect Q13 to blow first.
