Re: More pins for the Raduino! An RF gain control for the uBITX!
Use a multiple of 50 with and additive amount of watts.?Put them in parallel and you'll have 50 ohms at 10 watts.
Example: 5 times 50 = 250 ohms each, 5 times 2 watts each equals 10 watts.Example: 20

Re: Variable power control
Thank you very much.
I have ordered the parts and will build this to add to my ubitx.
I think this will supply power to the PA power wire on the power connector.? Is this correct?
Do I need to do

Thank you Don,
your blog is a treasure trove, you are a fine artist as well.

Re: RD16HHF1 in the uBITX

BTW, could we keep this thread focused on using the RD16HHF1 discussion and move the SMD/SMT discussion to a new thread?
Thanks for the great measurements on the pre-drivers, Glenn.? Makes it clear

Re: Variable power control
What about replacing RV1 with an AD5246, and an SWR bridge to monitor output power and then a PID loop to adjust drive level to attain desired output...

Allison, thanks for the insights.
Much appreciated.
I noticed that the push-pull IRF510's performed much better in simulation using the WA2EBY
output transformer scheme? than with the stock uBitx

Re: Variable power control
SUBTRACT A FEW PARTS AND A POT AND IT IS CONSTANTLY VARIABLE ADD ASC712 TO MONITOR CURRENT AND A VOLTAGE DIVIDER TO SEE WHATs GOING WITH REALTIME DETAIL.

Re: rv2- messed up setting and txing like mad!!!
Doesn't matter if psu connects to ammeter black or red,
will likely read with a minus sign if you put the black ammeter probe on the PSU.
I suggest you measure PA current separately, since I think

Re: RD16HHF1 in the uBITX

There seems to be a belief that the IRF5xx parts have no capability at VHF...
I have an amp using 8 of them at 32V that puts out a mere 210W at 50mhz.? All of the parts are

Should I be measuring pa current or both? E.g. both wires from psu to black probe and 2 wires running of red probe to each input?
