Re: Better choice quartz for 11.059 filter
I think Evan has it right. I hope Gerard has a Nano that is socketed to the Raduino, not soldered down like the early uBitx. As I recall from a few years ago, putting a finger on the resonator pulled

Evan, Thanks for the answer. It¡¯s simple in fact, but handle the soldering iron well cdt

Re: Better choice quartz for 11.059 filter
Gerard, Some more explanation may be required.? The ceramic resonator is the "crystal" equivalent that is used for the Nano clock.? There is not an adjustment to change that in the firmware.? The

Re: AGC circuit to try?
Many thanks to all of you for your very interesting posts; it took me some time to reply since there is a lot of QRL for me. I wll study each of the proposed solutions and I will perform some tests on

Jerry, You wrote: "push the 16mhz resonator over a few khz." Before change quartz, or other and for my personal information. I have tried several calibration, the 16 khz is always present. How you do

Re: Dummy Load Resistors & Motor Oil
Most linseed oil is "boiled", which these days means it has chemical additives to make it polymerize faster. Those drying agents create some nasty noxious fumes, as well as causing the spontaneous

Re: Better choice quartz for 11.059 filter
Ah, sounds right. He might try moving the 16mhz resonator on his Nano instead of going to the bother of building a new filter. Jerry, KE7ER

Re: Better choice quartz for 11.059 filter
What complaint is Gerard trying to fix? From this thread, I get the impression that he wants to move to an 11.059mhz IF so he can use newer firmware that was written for V5 and V6.

Re: Better choice quartz for 11.059 filter
Curt, on another thread Gerard had found a 16khz signal on the audio output of his rig with the 12MHz SSB filter. I went back and did the same test on my v4 board and found the same thing. I then

Re: Dummy Load Resistors & Motor Oil
I caution against use of linseed oil. Once oxidized it can sponteously combust. With heat added this becomes even more dangerous. At one time I coated my cedar deck with linseed oil on a hot day.

Re: Simple UBITX Test Set
The discussion on dummy loads got me thinking of resistive SWR bridges. Would be good to include an SWR meter as part of a basic uBitx test set. Here's a resistive bridge that I like:
