Re: ubitx v6 cat-only operation firmware
Yes, the firmware replaces the one shipped (and indeed, my fork is
derived from original firmware Farhan's code). Basically a rip-off,
leaving just the revised CAT and si5351 functions.

Mike,
Thanks for the confirmation.? I just picked up a set.? I've been meaning to do this for a while.

I don't really understand your question, Pierre.

Look again you are on bitx list, all manufacturers tend to be welcome here if it relates to ubitx etc.?
Let's NOT jump to conclusion that he needs a baby filter, he would be hearing AM broadcasts very likely if he did.?

Prop changes. I have been in cw segments lately sometimes with scarce stations. Also lots of variation in what short paths are open. Let's get more data on receive. For the ubitx on 20m I expect only a small increase in noise when you plug in antenna. Expect big signals often on ft8. If after listening to ft8, you can tune around and successfully find some weaker signals that is a great sign.?

The v5 and v6 are almost identical.? The only differences are board layout and the controls and jacks were moved to the mainboard to make for a solderless kit build.? You can use the v6 data for any of the test points.
It would be more helpful if you asked what you were looking to measure or explain the reason you want the test point data.? I am not aware of a comprehensive test point data compilation.? As problems have come up for builders the community has measured points on the board to help solve a problem.??
The above is my understanding after monitoring and contributing on this board for over 2 years.

Related to this, it looks like mpja has the axicom D2n relays at a good price.? Are these the ones to use to replace the relays in the ubitx based on this post?

Re: ubitx v6 cat-only operation firmware
I'm enjoying doing all from the computer, especially the calibration
procedure! Btw, is the first IF frequency also a good variable to be
accessible through serial command?

I'm developing a firmware for use without the screen, just over CAT,
with some pins assignments for my project needs, but which can be easily
wiped out. A totally new protocol is used for CAT control with full 1 Hz

documented. Also the userland is present in tools folder:

I have found some interesting items to incorporate into my uBITX builds.? I am building my own version of a Raduino that will incorporate a 100 PPR (Pulse Per Revolution) encoder that I purchased from MPJA.? Over time, I have bought wire, hardware, connectors, etc. from them.? I enjoy perusing their virtual flyers.

I think the posts are appropriate when the company has a special that is directly relevant to the BITx, like when they had a sale on the relays that are used to modify older models. Posting during weeks when they aren't offering something relevant isn't as appropriate.
There are thousands of companies that sell electronic parts, are you going to post a link to these as well. I hope not!

Changed the "Processor" to "ATmega 328p (old bootloader)". That did it! I succesfully
uploaded software to the radio. As a "hello world" experiment, I changed "LSB" to "PSB" on
the front panel. Yup, it did it. Time to go read some code.

Re: HF newbie. Propagation questions - with pix!
Scott,
I hope Hans doesn't mind me posting information for another shop on the website. I don't think Hans sales any filters like this one. This filter kit that that I just saw would be perfect for you. It's called a ¡°Broadcast Interference Filter¡±. The shop that it's at is a ham specialty store and they appear to be familiar with the uBITX. The description for the BIF is as follows;
¡°General purpose BCI filter for most SDR's, DC transceivers and Bitx radios.?
Designed to be placed in the RX path for 3-30Mhz ¡°
Here is the website: ?
That will get you to their home page. If you look Just below the search box, you'll see ¡°DIY Kits¡±, click on it and it will take you to the page the filter is on.
The price for the filter is only $5.00 pus tax and shipping. There shipping rates are very reasonable. It's in a kit form so you'll have to wind the toroids. It?looks like it would be a fun little kit to build.Good luck with the build and have fun.

Trying to upload firmware to my new uBITXv6 - it's not working.
I installed the Arduino IDE and the CH340 driver, and the ubitx v6 software from github on my Win10 system.
Successfully compiled the software.
---------------- snip -----------------------
Sketch uses 28748 bytes (93%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
Global variables use 1151 bytes (56%) of dynamic memory, leaving 897 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
---------------- endsnip ---------------------
But when I try to upload it to the uBITX, it freezes for a long time, and then I get the
following errors:

This report would have more information with

option enabled in File -> Preferences.

I suspect that I have a wrong setting in the arduino IDE preferences: Right now I have
Board: "Arduino Nano".

If I choose "Get Board Info", I get:

Can anybody supply a clue?
