Re: uBitx LCD Viewing Angle and Replacement Hints Needed
Thank you to those who responded to my question. Bill Richardson’s informing me of the contrast control on the back of the VFO module did the trick. It was originally set to maximum. Now that the

Re: RD16HHF1 in the uBITX #ubitx
Rlacement of MOSfets alone can't not solve the case. ?However there is reasonable improvement,. Interestingly, there is a dip in gain at 21.2MHz and recovered at 28 MHz. Twe need to analyse this

Re: RD16HHF1 in the uBITX #ubitx
Indeed, there is the PA+ supply voltage on the IRF510 drains during receive. But zero drain current because the IRF510 gate voltage is zero and nowhere else for the PA+ supply to go.? Not so much as

Re: RD16HHF1 in the uBITX #ubitx
I believe it has already been done for you. The LM78L05 regulator that supplies 5v to the IRF510 gate bias pots is in turn powered form the TX 12v rail. That TX rail is shut down during receive by the

Re: RD16HHF1 in the uBITX #ubitx
I think Jerry has a much simpler idea -- just find a way to disconnect the gate bias during receive. This would put the gates at 0v, and effectively shut off the IRF510 drains. Probably a good

Re: RD16HHF1 in the uBITX #ubitx
In the case of the uBitx and Bitx40 we use the IRF510 FET's to turn off the PA power by shutting down the gate bias voltage source during receive. Drain current should be zero.

Re: RD16HHF1 in the uBITX #ubitx
Hello For power conservation it is possible to use a power FET to turn OFF voltage to the RF PA section during receive mode. Turn the switch device on with +TX power and off when this goes to

Re: RD16HHF1 in the uBITX #ubitx
The FET's are more linear with a high quiescent current. Though the WA2EBY gets away with 10ma quiescent drain currents into the IRF510's which is a considerably less linear device than the

Hi John, It is a double sided board. I would just remove the resistor and put in a 1/2 watt in its place. Also, check the transistor (Q14) to make sure it didnt sacrifice itself also. Good
