Re: Receiver working, sensitivity issues?
I¡¯m actually amazed that you are doing as well as you are. There is a concept called ¡°aperture¡±that relates to the volume of space from which a given antenna extracts signal

For receive try stretching out 8m or more of wire. The ubitx was optimized? for full sized antennas, but 8m or more should bring some signals.
Patiently learn about ham radio antennas. To

Re: Receiver working, sensitivity issues?
Hello Arv thanks for the reply. I will certainly try to first procure the caps and build aswell once the setup is done with formally mfg caps.

You can make your own variable capacitor from insulators and conductors.
Formulas are available for calculating the amount of capacitance from size
of plates and dielectric constant of the

uBITX Loop
I just got handed (about 5 hours ago)? a goodly length (about 7.3 meters) of 50 millimeter Heliax.? It's a bit big for a transmission line for the uBITX (LOL), but I also have a 5-500 pf 5Kv

Hello Will, thanks for the reply.
The loop that I made was by taking a string...hooking it to one of the leg of a chair... measuring 1Meter length and exactly placing a marker pen at the end of 1

Re: Receiver working, sensitivity issues?
Hi Simran! :-)
I have used loop antennas in the past, and if they aren't tuned well, they can be almost deaf.? If you can, try to get a tuning capacitor for the loop as soon as you can, which will

Receiver working, sensitivity issues?
Hi, I am able to rx a few stations locally
Got to hear someone speaking from about 1400km away on 20 Meters.
However, the issue is the signals that I get are pretty weak. I am using a homemade 1meter

Re: Spectral analyser
The Antuino is a very capable spectrum analyser. It has a few known
limitations but you can scratch build it for less than 50 dollars and a few
evenings.
