Simpler spur fix
Here is a part number for 680 nh smd inductor from Arrow electronics. Data sheet available on product page. Looks like the size is a 1212. I have not tried it yet, but specs look about right

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Raj, Rather than just using double shielded coax from the 2 pin RF plug on the uBITX to the BNC, I carefully installed gold plated female SMA connector and that should help some but I'm just using the

Re: Recommended fixes on ubitx.net
So what?exactly are these seniors complaining about? They heard you had a uBitx, and think you should not be using it at all? They somehow checked your harmonics and out-of-band spurs that are 30dB

Much slower this morning but made three more before breakfast. I'm just running of of 8 AA batteries so I think that folks with good antennas heard me and folks without or pointing the other way

Re: Something not right 24V PA BITX40
Power does not decrease when on 12V for the PA only on 24V. Using a 3 amp supply for the 12V both main board and the PA (when it is on 12V). When I switch the PA to 24V, I use a set of LIPO batteries

Re: Fun with Pennsylvania QSO Party AA2MZ/QRP
Nice! I made a contact to a PA QSO party with my bitx40 too. NY3B 7.191. Tried some others but got frustrated and turned on my Kenwood 430.?? 73 Dave k0mbt

Re: ?BITX v3 : TX OK but no audio on RX
After a lot of investigations (HI !) I found that there is a contact beetween pins 3 and 5? (K3) but there is not any continuity beetween pin 3 and M1 and beetween pin 5 and M2. But continuity is 0K

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Jim I agree with you regarding the lowest number of turns. My theory is that the relay contacts are acting as the primary of a current transformer inducing the RF current flowing in the contacts into

Re: Recommended fixes on ubitx.net
Tom - great link, thank you. Do you recommend I wait a while, or is this part good to go? Senior folks in my club bash me 'bout my spurious emissions. They have strongly encouraged me to "work on that

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
GM Jim, 400mW is 33mA that should be OK for the transistors. I will try lower current one when I find a cheaper source or a vendor who will send me by USPS.

The parts in the photo appear to be these parts: https://www.budgetronics.eu/index.php?action=article&aid=13200&lang=EN Not sure they are Murata parts. I would concur that a part marked ¡®681k¡¯ is

Re: Simpler spur fix
That is 680nH or 68 followed by one 0 - uH would have been 684 marking IMHO - like resistors. I measured them and they were exact 680nH. In some places the discussion relating to 680uH is about

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Raj, I thought the same thing, but maybe, even using sockets, just for the experiment, I could get some relative comparisons between the types to see if any were better than others. I suspect the

Re: Something not right 24V PA BITX40
Tim, Looks like you 12V is not OK. Increase to 15V and see. I have run my boards on 15V with much better output. If the power goes up and then settles back down, I suspect your 12V not sustaining

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
Jim, My take on this relay business is that both contacts are being inductively coupled. Imagine the NC contacts on one side - it is a loop and will be inductive. The same goes for the other pair on
