Hello Rafael,

what kind of "experimental license" do you have?
to work in the frequency bands assigned to the "Radio Amateur Service" (see the ITU assignments) it is "ESSENTIAL" to have a Radio Amateur license and, due to agreements made by IARU with almost all the National Institutions for Communications (see for example here in Italy with the Ministry of Infrastructure), the compliance with the subdivision by type of use (CW, SSB, Digital, etc.) and the respective maximum bandwidth allowed is a legal obligation!
I fervently hope that your experiments are not oriented to occupy the HF with telephone or other "private" digital communication networks, private communications are already "eating" us the UHF and the SHF to allow the allocation of digital networks of nature certainly not experimental.
I do not think that radio amateurs around the world ask for the impossible, but only to be left in peace to enjoy their QSO and their experiments, without being "victims" of commercial purposes that certainly do not care about " human right to happiness "!
Tell us what experiments you want to do!
Greetings IW4AJR Loris "HONOR ROLE" ARI (Italian Radio Association).

The book has not been out very long, but there are 18 reviews you can read.

If you want more reviews, the teaching method is the same as I used for Beginning C for Arduino which has over 90 reviews.

Re: Question: Why do you call "AGC" a simple automatic antenna "attenuator" in this forum? #ubitx #ubitxv6

 

Some of the old vintage radios and amplifiers are real hunks of steel compared to what we use today but never forget that we won wars with those old relics. Also, some are still used today; when I worked at two Army Depots, some of that old stuff was refurbished and sold/given to foreign allies to use in their military even though we had quit using it here in America. And they were happy to get it.

Many of us can remember using the old vintage transmitters for ham radio usage as well as adapting them for antenna tuners, etc. Wartime antenna components are still in operation today by many hams.

Will some of the stuff that we buy today endure like that wartime equipment? I wonder but maintenance today is not what it was back then. If some ham's equipment goes sour, the item is often thrown away (or set on a back shelf) and a new one bought and this is often a distinct improvement over what they had used before. Technology has improved but the oldtimers' willingness to repair is not what it was in years past mainly because something 30-40 years old is not going to give us what the new stuff will give us ... so why bother? Back then, though, it was not done for pleasure along, repairs were done because it was necessary to get back on the air.

Out with the old and in with the new is the way more in common today.

AGC is a feature and attenuation is a function. Automatic Gain control can work using an electronically controlled attenuation in the signal chain or by using variable gain amplifiers somewhere in the chain.
the golden rule of good signal processing is to control the gain as early in the signal chain as is possible. The best gain control is to put variable resistor right at the antenna terminal. The reason is very simple: the amplifiers down the chain have to handle weaker signals and weaker signals mean better fidelity. An audio AGC in a conventional superhet where most of the gain is in the IF stage will overload even on a moderate signals due to the distortions in IF amplifiers.
Picture this, there is the lowest level signal that the receiver can resolve, this is set by the bandwidth and the noise figure of the receiver. The? highest signal that the receiver can resolve without distorting is determined by the IIP3 and the phase noise of the local oscillator. The range of signals between the minimum discernable signal and the loudest signal that the receiver can handle without noticeable distortion is your dynamic range.
Now, consider what happens if you switch on a 10 db attenuator between the antenna and the receiver. the MDS (minimum discernable signal) has to be 10 times more powerful and on the other hand, the signal level at which the distortion starts to show is also up by 10 db. In effect, to borrrow?Rob, NC0B's words, the dynamic range is a moveable window that can be shifted up or down with attenuators.
Most receivers are too sensitive for HF bands. For instance, the ubitx is too sensitive for 40 meters, the atmospheric noise is 100 times more powerful than the internal noise (noise floor) of the receiver. This is wasted dynamic range. if we had thrown in a 20 db attenuator, we would hear exactly the same signals as before but our dynamic range would have been 100 times more. Dynamic range doesn't only apply when you are contesting or having a neighbour who transmits 1000 watts, it is a measure of how sweet the receiver sound is as well.
So, why is ubitx so needlessly sensitive? That is, because it is meant to work from 10 meters to 80 Meters. That sensitivity will be needed when the 15 meter opens up in a few years from now.
RF attenuation does remain the best place to control the gain, even for an AGC system. The challenge is to build a smoothly varying attenuator that doesn't need any active devices. Active devices in wide open receivers like the ubitx can severally compromise the receiver performance.?
I am planning to do a video to explain who careful gain distribution is the key to a good radio design.

Try it, just tack a wire from one side of the filter to the other,
from header CW-1 pin 1 to header CW-2 pin 1 in the uBitx v6 schematic.
Could be educational.
Could even be useful, allowing one to quickly tune across the band

Bypassing the SSB filter when transmitting would create an illegal
