Re: compiling ubitx ver 4.3
Kevin and MadRadioModder
The Raduino seems to have brought some of us old geezers out of hiding after 10 to 30
years of non-coding.? Since some of us learned our C-language from Dennis Ritchie and
the K&R manual we may not be up to speed with all the changes in C-code standards nor
be using the latest compilers.? This does not fix the warning messages situation but may
explain how some of the present day code is not up to latest standards.?
Part of the problem is that there seem to be several competing standards and slightly
different compilers depending on whether one is using Microsoft, Linux, BSD, Oracle,
IRIX, Solaris, or OS-X as the programming platform.?
So we depend rightly or wrongly on you professional programmers to help us get up to
speed with the latest standards and techniques.? While most will be using some variation
of the GCC compiler, it may not be up to date with latest standards if a new version has
not been installed for a couple of years.? Others using a Microsoft compiler will find a
few places where GCC C++ code might throw an error, and vice-versa.?

I would say LPF for 60-30-17-10meters bands and eventually 160m if you would like to use this band too (I think it could transmit as well on 160m)

I haven’t even build my uBitx yet. Maybe in the winter. Where can I have a look at these LPF’s from Hans. It’s not a killer for me. I’m sure I can still have fun with the radio, it will definitely be a digital mode radio for FT8 for sure so as long as it has a few uses, I’ll be fine. I’m not looking for perfection.?

Re: UBITX V3 TX GAIN VARIATIONS
Jim,
Try this input to q90 Isolate the other stuff from loading the input to the amp,
output at T11 before the filters (cut trace).??
Doing that requires tracking generator but yyou can sweep it by hand?
using a any RF generator (measure direct then measure through).
Run that at 3db/division to see the droop is power and gain.? When I've done
that on many samples they all sag about 10-12db from 3-30mhz.? Its not the
IRF510 its all in the stages before it.? The IRF510 can be flat but in that
design it also sags about 2-3db because, long leads, transformers not
optimum, board layout.

Re: Can we start using SUBGROUPS? uBiTX, biTX40, QRPKITS, Original BiTX20, Homebrew, Other?
Rather than spend a lot of time wondering if we are for or against the creation of subgroups, can we be informed about uBitx compliance in transmission. In the meantime I still do not know if I can use my uBitx v3 (bought while mounted at Farhan) in broadcast on all the bands without disagreeing with the authorities. What changes must be made to comply? I will use my uBitx in issue and if I have problems with the French regulatory authorities I will notify my seller.

Re: Right-sided relay harmonic attempted fix for v3/4 ubitx
Allan, ?i used BNC attenuators to calibrate between S 7 1/2 and 25 over,?
It was clearly 12 DB per S unit between Sseven and S9. ?Six DB attenuator change changed it half an S unit. ?Between S9 and 25 DB over it seem to be relatively correct with the DBS.?
I have not calibrated it below S7
I don’t have a easy to use stepped attenuator. ?So I had to do this by changing in and out fixed attenuators. ?

Gordon,
Good to see you are making positive progress.
Re:- the before & after figures
I don't know the Icom 718, as a background just in case someone else tries to repeat your tests. It's normally quoted as 6dB per S point.
Pretty much all radios will be different. Its a repeatable test to the same reference value on the meter on the same radio but not necessary beyond that, the meter reading may be non-linear etc.
Alison suggested the stepped attenuator approach to bring the fundamental down to the same indicated level on the meter as the harmonic, the amount of added additional attenuation indicates the harmonic reduction.
The measurement accuracy is then transferred to that of the attenuator,? and is more easily characterised.
It is also transferable to other peoples measurements regardless of method, by radio or a spectrum analyser etc.
Can Alison comment?
