Re: the cause for the spurs, found!
Glenn, Please try a mod.. Remove first transistor's base bias resistors uBitx = 1K and 2.2K Connect a 39K or 47K resistor from first base to last emitter. The emitter voltage will be around 5-7v. I

Re: uBitxr4 audio distortion fix
Dear Raj, I? added one 100 ohms preset (not trimmer) in between the diode d15 and D16 (after cut the track) the audio is ok and volume is increased. Good result. vu2nsk

Re: the cause for the spurs, found!
Interesting, I had built the uBITX bi-amp stage only, on a small pcb some time ago. I just measured the 2nd and 3rd harmonics as shown below, with -30, -20 and -10dBm input from an HP8640B sig gen and

Re: the cause for the spurs, found!
Excellent finding! Adding a low pass filter seems the easiest solution. At which impedance should be designed? 50ohm, 500ohm? Where exactly place it, considering the schematics of ver. 3 and ver. 4. I

Re: Harmonics and Relay Replacement
I tried EPCOS TDK and it works as well as one marked S+M https://www.ebay.com/itm/480pcs-kit-assorted-chip-inductor-coil-1210-1008-24x20pcs-EPCOS-TDK-MURATA/142968653807 This one has it marked R68K ,

The SMDs I used are marked S+M and yellow in color. Smaller ones did not help. Just do the relay mod for now.. don't use sockets for them. Raj

Re: Si5351 correction question
What firmware are you running?? Mine seems to be OK on xmit but several hundred Hz off on rcv. I'm thinking it might be the constants used in the firmware for the USB & LSB offsets. They're used by

the cause for the spurs, found!
the 45 mhz if amplifier is distorting and producing a second harmonic at 90 mhz. this mixes with the local oscillator to produce a spur at 90 mhz - local oscillator. here is how it happens : the spur

Re: Tone on Nextion LCD Dimming
Evan It's almost certain the dimming is done by PWM, ie chopping the LED supply.?? Did you try adding some series inductance to the display supply along with your extra capacitors.? vk3pe

Watch it Roger, they will ban you from the site and then you won't get to hear about Rev 5 and the 50 percent off coupon that AF is going to give out to disgruntled purchasers of V3 and V4 boards.
