I've been playing around with a PCB design that uses a mosfet for reverse polarity protection. Diodes burn a decent amount of power, this mosfet is significantly less. It also has over volt

Re: What is bitx23?
This code will also work on the raspi pico, went to a fast mcu for better perfomance,
the virtual machine ie there for develoment.

Richard,
I just found time to put the circuits together. I am more like a magazine
editor than a writer. Plus, my business experience has allowed us to
assemble a very low cost radio manufacturing

PS another diode the other way round feeding a small buzzer
gives an audible alarm if the power is upside down :-) !!!!!

Another approach which I have not seen proposed is to
switch the power to the radio with a relay with
contacts of suitable current handling.
The relay coil is fed by a diode so only comes in
when the

Richard,
The comparable radio with the Xeigu is the ubitx. It is completely usable
out of the box. We do, offer replacements or refunds for non-working
radios. I still think this is a matter of

It is an odd thing though, the Elecraft KH1 is a CW only radio, selling for
600 USD. Not really, if you add all the essentials, it stacks upto 1000
USD. Yet, they sell about 3000 radios per month.

I think the crowdfund could be the best way to check demand (for the assembled units).
Set up a goal of 20,000$ (200$? * 100) and see what happens.
If the goal is not reached the money gets back, no

We would produce it if there were demand for it. It takes 100 pcbs to be
viable.

@Farhan Why don't we crowfund this?
200$ each, with a discount coupon for the same amount as perk.

Reverse diode and a fuse is all I use on any of my projects. Total cost about $0.50. Voltage drop equal zero.

I use Powerpoles for battery and PSU connections.? I also use KC9ON's FET-based devices in place of diodes.? They're good for up to 50 V and 7
