Re: Transmitter Mods
That is a good question. In our application, the impedance is still high, it just becomes more capacitive then inductive. If you look at the impedance plot, the resonance is about 20 MHz, but the

Re: Tx frequency selection for FT8 on BITX40 running Allard's sketch

Hi Doug,
Agreed. I operate remotely from the Yukon as VY1AAA a lot... when on FT8,
it generates Big pileups. Those people who understand how to use split in
FT8 get through faster. Technique is

Re: UbitX I2C GPIO Breakouts?
Understood. I¡¯m wanting to put transverters in my ubitx; would love to

does it matter that most 27uH inductors seem to have a self resonant frequency below 28MHz?

Re: anybody tried softrock and hdsdr with Ubitx?
Has anyone tried a softrock and hdsdr with Ubitx to get the spectrum and
waterfall display?? (or something similar?)
If so, can you please describe how to go about doing it?
thanks,

Re: UbitX I2C GPIO Breakouts?
Could work fine.
The library to speak i2c is already getting loaded for the si5351.
Primary issue I see is that i2c links take a millisecond or so,
vs under a microsecond for direct access of an IO

Re: need Linux users to debug a document
Hi Tim,
Thank you for the offer.
I think it would be more useful if you have the actual uBITX radio
in-hand for testing.
You could email me when your rig is on-line.
Thanks,

Tx frequency selection for FT8 on BITX40 running Allard's sketch
#bitx40
Doug,
A picture is worth a thousand words:
No need, or reason, to use offset in the transmitter. In fact, if you have
CAT, WSJT controlls the transmitter frequency.

Re: Tx frequency selection for FT8 on BITX40 running Allard's sketch

Within WSJT-X, you pick the transmit and receive frequencies, via the WSJT
UI. These are audio frequencies in your passband, not RF frequencies.

howard -- thank you for that review! The inductor I find is up into the 2-3K (ohms reactance) range by 20 MHz so it definitely changes the feedback ratio at the higher frequencies. Capacitors

Re: Tx frequency selection for FT8 on BITX40 running Allard's sketch
#bitx40
Doug,
You are misunderstanding his answer.
You transmit AND receive on the exact center frequency: 7074.000 for 40m.
No offsets, RIT, etc.
The tuning is done in the audio passband.
