Re: ?BitX v4 no SSB output after mods
If anyone's interested in my power readings, I'm attaching a plot. Can send more detail if interested. -- Jonathan, KD5CFX

Re: ?BitX v4 no SSB output after mods
Don KM4UDX My suggestion would be to not get too excited about over power beyond the design specification. Take a look at the datasheet for IRF510 devices to see where the best position on the

Re: ?BitX v4 no SSB output after mods
Oh, wow! That's the picture I was using for reference, but I was working in the middle of the night and must've missed it in my sleepy haze. I'll fix that in the next day or so and report back...

Re: ?BitX v4 no SSB output after mods
Looks fine, Q94/95 are the finals. Remove L5/7 and put back the original toroids and see. Some SMD inductors dont work well at that frequency. Send us a photo of the L5 and 7 you used. Raj

I will give the mic a try in CW mode and see what happens. I have to look harder through my junk box to see if I can find a stereo plug. BTW, I very much appreciate your suggestions. 73, ~todd,

Re: Custom software/ screen question
I would agree with the comments from Andy, I got one of these recently, I think they will only work with the V6. I have to say it's a great upgrade with lots of potential, the calibration routines
