Re: Anyone with a good working configuration for CW with the KD8CEC software
David 1. If the reception frequency of CW is different from the transmission frequency, it can be easily solved by uBITX Manager. In uBITX Manager, if 'Shift Display Frequenc on CWL and CWU Mode' is checked, uncheck it. I had this option so nice that it was used automatically.? 2.uBITX_Manger Backup file contains Calibration values,? Please make your own uBITX configuration information as a backup file first. and upload another user backup file to your uBITX after modifying Calibration and BFO. I have uBITX configuration backup files for several users. If you want, I will send my configuration file to your personal e-mail. 3.A new version of KD8CEC with WSPR functionality will be released in a day or two. Several bugs have been fixed and some improvements have been made. ?In the new? version, I are considering not to use avove #1 Option (
?'Shift Display Frequenc on CWL and CWU Mode'??) automatically. ?I will listen to users' opinions and make a decision. Ian KD8CEC 2018-03-18 3:30 GMT+09:00 <davidaker@...>: I'm having trouble getting the TX and RX frequencies to match on CW.? If anyone has a good configuration for this, would you please post or send me the uBITX_Mgr .btx file. |

Sorry you got an Internal Server Error.? These occur periodically when the server runs out of memory (i.e. whe 6000 BITX20 list members go to the website all at the same time!).? They clear within a few seconds to around a minute, and only occur every couple of days.? Sometimes they are the result of Denial of Service attempts.? Some things to check: 1) Have you checked that you are connecting to your uBITx (e.g. in the Arduino IDE)? 2) Have you selected the Hamlib FT817 as the rig and the correct port? 3) Have you the correct baud rate setting and stop bit? ??? 38400 baud 1 stop bit. I don't have HRD so can't really comment on "how" you do this! may be helpful Mike ? On 18/03/18 11:23 AM, Vince Loschiavo wrote: that was Dr. Lees v.1.04

Re: Modifying Bitx40 BPF band pass filter
Final update: I restored the resistor values to their original sate and instead added an amp stage (half of Bitx bidirectional amp) and that gave me a much stronger (+15 dB) and more stable DDS/VFO signal. Instead of adding windings to the toroids in the BPF I increased the the capacitance of the 3 tuned circuits in the BPF to 125 pF (instead of the 100 pF in the original design) and that placed the 7.000 to 7.200 exactly in the peak of the filter. It was a matter of trial and error but got it working. BPF is perfect now. Thanks all! |

Ok.
I've checked out your site before... Just was gun shy to ensure i had the farhan load.. So your steps are fine .. reloaded Farhan no problem. all good then did IanLee's version...uploaded fine now to review his site for the menu settings. Still No CAT control with HRD..;=(( vince n2aie |

The KD8CEC Memory Manager requires mods to the stock firmware or installation of Ian's firmware to work. Check out the guide at:? ? and feed back with any issues, as I want to get this right! 73 Mike On 18/03/18 9:25 AM, Vince Loschiavo wrote: I didn't mention, I'm just using the Arduino IDE not the Ian Lee memory manager which i cant seem to get it to read the nano (in windows)

So,
My uBITX is working fine, so I should just leave it alone...Of Course not.. 1.? Before I start mucking with the sketch, I want to be able to get it back to what came with the rig. so went to? downloaded the zip as usual.? Inside there is the ubitx_20 folder the .ino with the ubitx_20, is, I assume that is what should be uploaded to the nano? Is the CAT function an original part of the sketch that will get loaded with the ubitx_20..that i haven't tried to use? as I would like to have HRD control of the uBITX.. ugg.. ? Must not be thinking this through, Allard's changes on my 40 seemed to be easy enough. quick answer would be appreciated. Vince n2aie |
Re: Dirt cheap uBitx case
#ubitx
Thanks!? Ouch, always when you think you're getting close to done...?
I've added the rj45 jack for my spare handheld mic along with a mini usb port on the back. I still need to wire up the up/down buttons off the jack. I left the front plate with the original jacks in case I want to ever use them again.? If I don't I'll end up creating a new faceplate and have the rj45 jack directly on the front. There is now a 1" fan in the top along with a 2" speaker.? I ended up replacing the green screen with the blue and it's quite a bit easier on the eyes.? The case was painted hammered black on the top and bottom pieces. The front and back plates got coated in hammered silver.? I wanted a bit of an old-school vibe with the hammered paint.?? I realized I never gave the case dimensions - it's 7"wide x 6.5" long and 3" tall ( ~17.5 cm x 16 cm x 7 cm) When I make it back to the office I'll be printing up laser water slide decals for some last minute embellishments and labeling.? At this point I'm not sure I'd do another scratch built and recycled case due to the effort and extra time.???(lies, all lies)?I definitely spent more time and labor costs building and assembling than I would have if I bought a pre-made case. I've still got some more cable management to do on the inside but had to throw it all together for a quick distraction.?? |
Re: uBITX Manager
Ian,
I am having difficulties trying to get uBITX Mgr v0.2 to read from UBITX.? I've tried the resisitor solution and the capacitor solution with no data showing in Manager.? The display does show db:40000000 and second line the standard LSB and Frequency. any suggestions (from anyone would be appreciated) N2AIE Vince |

Re: Soldering gun or iron

That looks like a great kit for the price. I spent more than that for just a Weller SP40NK 40W soldering iron (with 3 tips) from the local Home Depot. Of course, I already had all the other things on-hand, such as third-hand, brass tip cleaner, Kester 63/37 rosin core solder, desoldering wick, soldering iron stand, temperature controller, and so forth. Recently, I got into SMD soldering, so I added a hot-air gun, a toaster oven (re-purposed as a reflow oven), and a syringe of solder paste. If you are new to soldering electronics, be aware that there are practice kits available for both through-hole and SMD soldering practice. These kits come with an etched PCB, as well as all the components. Usually, they will also be a functional circuit of some sort or another, so you can test to see if you have done a good soldering job, or not. Good lighting, a clean work area, and a magnifying glass or loupe to inspect your work as you build your kit are also must-haves. Good Luck with your new Soldering Station!
