Re: ND6T AGC implementation for uBIT-X
If someone is into making boards, I'd buy one.? Not real crazy about the AGC board offered by InKits.? Etching a board is beyond my capabilities now a days. David, K6DMA

Re: Current Firmware
Jerry Sounds like a good reason to save the pre-processor output and name it *filename*.ino This way you only need the libraries once and can dispense with the #include <*library*.h> stuff for future

Re: Oscillation problems Bitx20a
Thanks for the tip Howard. I have some spare IRF530s no 520s but I will keep that in mind. The kit has not arrived yet so I will finish the Bitx first. But for that price I could not resist buying one

Re: Current Firmware
One problem with libraries is that they change. Sometimes stuff simply disappears off web.? Good luck building the original Bitx40 code of Dec 2016 (the etherkit si5351 library has changed). A good

Thanks to all of you that responded, it's good to know that I should be able to work on the SMD components if required.

Re: Removing surface mounted resistor

Thanks Skip. I'll certainly try that before I think about removing R70... Do you think it's worth building the rest of the audio path as per Version 4?

Re: RF power chain mods and improvements..
If the mixers are getting hit hard enough to go into compression,? then we don't really need 12dB of gain in that transmit side 45mhz amp. May as well back it off to 8 or 6 dB, 0 dB is fine, whatever

Hi Dennis, It looks like what you are trying to compile is, the code you would see if you clicked on "view source code" in your browser while looking at the code on GitHub. Of course, it is possible

Re: BITX40 CW Carrier Mod - CW Waveform shaping ?

I went ahead and made the mod as suggested by Allard to improve the CW Carrier Waveform shape on the BITX40.?? The 2.2uF capacitor value to ground wasn't correct (I think Allard based this value on

How about sweeping a 2-3 xtal filter using 40- or 48MHz xtals... In all possibility they will be 3rd OT. Rahul VU3WJM

Re: Raduino replacement

Exactly. I have both the bit40 and uBitX and as far as I can tell the difference is firmware and means of connecting to the main board. In the uBitX the firmware uses an encoder to change the vfo and

Re: Removing surface mounted resistor
#ubitx
I use 2 soldering irons to remove double ended SMD components (kind of like tweezers). I often use this method over a hot air reflow station, which I also have, but prefer the low(er) heat approach.
