Re: rotary encoder without detents
A suitable one made by Bourns is available from Digi-Key. Their part# is PEC11R-4020F-S0012-ND and I've used these with my various uBITX radios since day 1. Not terribly expensive either, I believe

rotary encoder without detents
Can anyone give me a pointer on where I can purchase a replacement encoder for the Ubitx Thanks 73 art - n2ajo

Re: New "ANTENNAS" group has been formed.
Yes, I keep trying to forget the yahoo mess. There are a few there most I unsubed from.? The only ones there of interest is EMRFD, COSMACELF (1802 cpu), R2PRO. There are a few other with high noise

Re: Harmonic performance - SSB vs CW
As a daughter board it would fully replace the back half and its a non-trivial effort. It could be done in? the same width but the depth would have to grow. Ways to make it smaller would be careful

Re: Harmonic performance - SSB vs CW
I realized this early when the uBITx first came out. It was a very easy fix to simply decommission the filter networks on the uBITx, use an external filter network that accepts 4-bit binary band code

Re: Harmonic performance - SSB vs CW
There is a good example of such an old school preselector on the AA3SJ Progressive Receiver Page, I think originally designed by W3TS (?). Pretty much exactly as Allison describes, 2 bands, total HF

Arv, That was a narrow cut. ;)? It would be the 1M band based on blade length. It was a narrowband effort using a .9mm blade. Its my signal slicer...? !groan! Allison
