Re: Adding zener to protect mosfets
Transzorbs. Part of the PKE6 (letters rearranged?) series. Much better. Dr. William J. Schmidt - K9HZ J68HZ 8P6HK ZF2HZ PJ4/K9HZ VP5/K9HZ PJ2/K9HZ Owner - Operator Big Signal Ranch –

Re: Raspberry Pi in sBITX V2
I'm pretty confident the 'crashiness' has to do with the amount of power being drawn. I'm thinking the USB2 SATA drive works OK because it draws less power from the USB port than does the USB3 NVMe

Re: Open letter to Afarhan et all
I'd also would like to say we deeply believe in the project, even in the spite of the initial version problems. The sbitx is as an ahead-of-time radio, with wideband capabilities and uncountable

Re: Adding zener to protect mosfets
If I remember right, there are also avalanche breakdown diodes that aren't zeners and have a very quick reaction time, which might do the job.? I also remember a circuit from years ago that limited

Re: Adding zener to protect mosfets
The down side of those diodes are, of course non-linear behavior and flat-topping leading to harmonics and splatter. I use those on MOSFETS and LDMOS when the parts are very expensive. But on these

Re: Adding zener to protect mosfets
Farhan, Gordon; I have back-to-back Zeners from the final FET Gates to Ground on my DE. (No series resistors) Before installing them I tested how well they would clamp at RF frequencies, due to

Re: Adding zener to protect mosfets
It needs more experimentation, it is a simple and interesting experiment to carry out. This lore of zener is very prevalent among hams. - f

Re: Adding zener to protect mosfets
Surprising. Is that because of the capacitance of the diode? What happens if you reduce the series resistance?

Adding zener to protect mosfets
Gordon, This is in response to your idea of adding zeners to protect the gates. It doesn't work. I added a zener 9v diode and 1k resistor (in series). I was expecting this to clip between 9v and

Re: Open letter to Afarhan et all
As I’ve said many times, this is an amazing development spearheaded by one extraordinarily gifted person. People who don’t see what has been accomplished are too quick to make complaints I do

This is with regard to Jack's comments about those who know what it is like to take a bunch of components and turn them into that first contact.? I did that over half a century ago.? The parts came

All: I'm pretty sure that Hans agrees with me that some people here have been far too unkind to Farhan and have ignored all that he has brought to QRP operators all over the world. Farhan, Hans, and

Re: Raspberry Pi in sBITX V2
It is working a LOT better. So there is some weird interaction between Bookworm 64 bit and my USB3 NVMe setup, one that did not show itself on Buster 32 bit. I can't explain it. The important thing

Re: Raspberry Pi in sBITX V2
I agree, but for that to work, `/dev/gpiomem` needs to be in the `gpio` group. In my example above, I show it was not, till I added it back: ``` pi@sbitx:~/sbitx$ ls -l /dev/gpiomem crw------- 1
