Re: Wow... 15 volts in and a bunch out..
Kevin, I added a 47 ohm resistor between puns 15/16 and the voltage regulator. This reduced the voltage drop across the regulator which reduced the amount of heat that needed to be dissipated by the

Re: Low Power Output for Hendricks BitX20A - Watt meters and Scope readings do not agree....
#bitx20
Yes. 70 volts peak-to-peak is? 70/2 = 35 volts peak,? is 35v/sqrt(2) =24.75 volts rms. Into a 50 ohm dummy load, that's volts*amps = 24.75vrms * (24.75vrms / 50ohms) = 12.25 Watts. Though when you

#bitx20
Hi Allison, Given the formula for Watts vs P-P ?(Meca electronics) one would use ?the peak voltage(35Vp) and that would crank out to about 12.25 watt, which I believe I had at one time, but now at

Re: Modular uBitx - "Ex: Harmonics"
The reason Raspberry Pis are so inexpensive is they take advantage of the price advantage of using basically the same processor that is used in hundreds of millions of radio transceivers, already.

Re: Wow... 15 volts in and a bunch out..
Cool. Yes, it can safely work at that temp. Some people have put a resistor in series to reduce the temp, but the heat sink is easier. The resistor is a good idea if you are much closer to the power

Re: Wow... 15 volts in and a bunch out..
Ok, i just put one on it. on it's datasheet, looks like it can operate up to about 257 degrees?fahrenheit, so at 135 degrees it seems safe. kevin

Re: uBitX CW bandwith
Farhan gives a hint on the uBitx description to consider adding a second crystal filter at a lower IF. It would involve retuning the bfo and selecting it. I would imagine its been done by someone. 73
