Re: Low transmit power using wsjtx and jtdx
#sBitx
So here is what I wound up doing that significantly increased my output power on my sBitx V3.? That is without having to move the volume slider up each and every time I transmitted.
I backed up the

Re: Impedance calculation rule crystal filter
Gerard,
A nanoVNA in 2 port mode would be the ideal tool to plot the response of your filter,
less tedious than using a signal generator and a scope.
The nanoVNA is designed for a 50 ohm

Re: Impedance calculation rule crystal filter
Gerard,
Injecting a signal at TP13 sounds good, the amp at Q11,12,13 should drive the filter
with a proper 50 ohm source impedance if it was built as per the uBitx schematics.
A filter using the

Re: sBITX V3 PA BIAS 2x IRFZ24N
Hello Jens,
Gordon is correct.? The original DE and V2 bias were to be set at 250ma.? Here is the link to the archive of that directive:

Re: sBITX V3 PA BIAS 2x IRFZ24N
I think the original suggestion was 0.250 for the current through the MOSFETs. I think I said some of mine at 0.360 amps.

Re: Impedance calculation rule crystal filter
Ford said::? "The calculated solution for 650 to 500 is 969 nH and 3 pF."
As Allison pointed out, we are targeting an input impedance for the network of 50 ohms, not 500 ohms.
He also said:

Re: Impedance calculation rule crystal filter
Gerard.
I believe that statement refers to the crystal filter module, without L7 and C212.
There are such modules that are 500 ohms resistive, though they also have
a significant capacitive reactance

What I find interesting is uBitx V3 though 6 the terminations for the filter that is
the crystal filter plus matching network is between a Mixer (DBM) and TIA amp.
Both of which are NOT 500 ohms and

Re: sBitx printed case
I had a lot of bed adhesion issues trying to print the case with PLA. I switched to smooth glass bed with some glue stick applied on a preheated bed which solved the edges curling up.

Re: Impedance calculation rule crystal filter
The calculated solution for 650 to 500 is 969 nH and 3 pF.
It seems to me that the only way to actually find the correct solution is to lift the filter out of the circuit.? Terminate it using a 500
