Re: Power supply fuses
All that PA-PWR goes to is the IRF510 drains. There's an intrinsic diode from source to drain inside the IRF510 that will? suck all the PA-PWR you care to give it if that supply line gets reversed.

Re: Power supply fuses
Well, if you're going to use two fuses, don't you need two diodes?

Yes it should work fine,? might knock down the power a little. Would be better with 4 Schotky diodes. They are going to HEAT!?? Probably over a watt for each of the 2 conducting diodes.? On

Re: Power supply fuses
I think that bridge rectifier is a bad idea. Leaves your rig antenna port ground a diode drop away from your power supply ground. A single schottky power diode in series with the supply coming into

Re: Power supply fuses
Hello For my uBitx I use a Pacific Antenna kit named VoltTattler. This montage has the following features: - Simple through-hole construction - Draws only around 1 mA in normal use. - Reverse polarity

I'm a newbie on here and just dipping my toe into the world of BITX's If you're running the radio at 13.8v is there enough wriggle-room to cope with a 1.4v drop using a bridge rectifier? Reverse

Re: CW transmit bandwidth
#ubitxcw

So it's narrow when the key is down continuously, but a string of dots is 1khz wide? That would be envelope shaping.? Has to do with how quickly the transmitter turns on and off when you key it.

The "Fix reverse polarity" section on ubitx.net suggests a 0.5A fuse for the "rig" and 2A fuse for the "finals," but does not specify which wire is which.? The schematic says that the brown wire is
