Re: receiver overload
I assume a 10M leaded resistor from RF-in to ground is what you are
suggesting?
That will be a lot simpler for me to do than adding an RF gain control.
The front panel is getting pretty crowded!

Re: receiver overload
My braid is grounded at the entrance box to the house. I also made up
shorting plugs for when I unhook the antenna so the center conductor
and braid should both be at the same potential.

Re: receiver overload
I guess that then assumes you have a very simple tuner (Cap-L leg)? No impedance transformers, inductors to ground, etc.

Re: receiver overload
I agree! But if the problem here is static buildup then a tuner won't
help any more than the coax connector on the rig!

Re: Transmitter Mods
I wound a ft37-43 ferrite to get 33uh. Not as neat as an smd inductor
but I ddin't have any of them!

This is used with the Sotabeams LaserBeam Dual variable kit. I didn't like the limited mounting options or the point-to-point of the filter kit so I made this board for my projects and had a few left

Re: receiver overload
The AGC writeup does mention that the RF gain control is assumed,
but the diagram just says "To K3 pin 14" where I assume it should say "To Wiper of RF Gain Pot"

Re: Transmitter Mods
Chris:
The parts caps I have are smaller then the resistors on the board, I think they resistors are 0805.
It is not too difficult to solder one on top of the other. Electrically, it doesn't matter

Re: Transmitter Mods
Howard
I don't normally do SMD but this sounds like a good idea ... I'll need to order some for this side of the pond, but which physical SMD sizes are these components?

Re: receiver overload
Don't let it get to that potential. If you are talking about lightning and such, yes, short it to ground outside. I am referring to those gentle breezes and what I call static charges. Nothing major,

Re: receiver overload
That is not where you want static charges dissipating! Chokes to ground, resistors, at the antenna. All a better place for it (the fire) to happen.

Re: Transmit indicator light.
In my opinion, the very best LED transmit indicator was the one that Derry Spittle (VE7QK [SK]) used in his Epiphyte QRP SSB series. That was just a 470 ohm quarter watt resistor through a small

Re: receiver overload
The principle idea of my AGC mod is built around the potentiometer RF gain control. It is meant to work in concert with it. As such, that potentiometer works as a static dissipation device to ground.

Re: receiver overload
The stock uBitx provides a DC path to ground.
During receive, that would be K3-12,14, K1-12,14, L1,2,3,4,? and T2.
Don's AGC fix adds AC coupling, there is no DC path:

Re: uBitX with CAT control and Split operation?
Ian's software will do both.
Do a search on KD8CEC on this forum, or?see?www.hamskey.com ( http://www.hamskey.com ).
