Re: Spurious RF at beginning of CW transmission in the uBitx
Right Jerry!
First mod I did on the ubit. now when I tune across the bands I hear the relays switching during RX.

Sorry . your name is? missing - It is hardly surprising that your software cannot import gerbers, which are simply a set of instructions for an industry standard PCB mafr process from the sixties.? Essentially it has to convert a physical layout back into a
schematic.? It has no idea what the active devices were, just their footprints..Imagine a DS board with components mounted both sides. I has to convert that back to a design file at 100 percent accuracy. And some industrial PCBs are laminated up and have say
8 layers. It? would have to convert that back flawlessly.? (Just because someone wanted to reverse engineer something after losing the design file or for Industrial piracy reasons.)

Re: [BITX20] ND6T AGC and Click kit wiring notes
Hi, I have been trying to get some software to produce the layout from a Gerber file, but I keep getting companies who will make a PCB from a .Gbr file. Is that the way to go? I use DesignSpark by RS for board design but there is no provision
to import .Gbr. There is provision to export. Thanks

Well done Kees and thanks. I agree the moment has come to call "Time". Having the gerbers available will enable others to have boards produced if required, including future group buys.

Re: experience with Sunil VU3SUA's enclosures

That link gives some detail, I was particularly interested in the led wiring which is shown here. I also have the connectivity for the rear panel if I can oly find it!
?
?
Trouble is
Eddie to be honest, I find so many different threads and e-mails, I get swamped and do not always conduct my computer filing in decent order.
?
I will find it and send the pic to use for Arduino to usb on the rear panel. Cant find any info on the two jack plugs or 9 pin DSub which is pretty well obsolete now anyway.
?
I dry built mine in the enclosure making sure everything fitted prior to doing any soldering.
?
Hope this helps but am always willing to assist with pictures, the only tricky bit was assembling the display spacers and getting it positioned correctly so nothing is being forced into alignment.
?
My personal e-mail is
ian.radioworkshop@... and would be happy to help

Richard, I don't know if you could obtain the exact original harness's, but you could make your own if it comes down to it. You could buy the connectors from Mouser/Digikey I suspect, but for the sockets you preferably need a crimping tool or its a bit tedious. There is another way, that I have used:- eBay has header strips and sockets you can cut to length. You can cut them to length and solder wires to them, heat-shrink the solder joint for mechanical strength, then put a bit of hot melt glue over the area.? I have done this many times, pictures are of my adapter cable to fit a Nextion display to a Raduino for example.  
|
The connectors are Molex type KK 0.1¡± pitch and are widely available through places like eBay. Available in various number of terminal ¡°ways¡±?
?
The terminals themselves are crimp but I solder them without difficulty and they then click into place.
?
Hope this helps

Re: uBitx V4 linearity mod in final audio amplifier
#ubitx
Glad you brought up the CW filter. Very frustrating. Awhile back I built a QRPp rig from Breadboardradio. Com. Great little half-watt transceiver. The other night frustrated with the bandwidth of my UBITx, I thought of the Toothpick CW filter from that rig, so, I hooked it up and it worked great. Couldn¡¯t imagine how much it reduced noise level, and improved CW selectivity. CW filter is absolutely a must.

I like mine too.? Even the puzzle of getting it all together with the ubitx parts is sorta fun, and mysterious.? We'll feel our way. I go back to the old Budd Box days, and this is a dream.? Still have a nibbling tool.? Never made a decent nibble.? Hi.
