So here's the latest. My thought is that this would more or less replace the existing plug on the radio. Can't really do that inside the radio without a lot of effort. Here you would just plug in

Re: A long long video on building feedback amplifiers
Minus seven for the pre-release QC fail.? The page lives in an open tab.
I'll add that the more about amplifiers I understand, the more fun they're becoming. Fun is good!

Re: A long long video on building feedback amplifiers
Farhan,
Your feedback amp page lives in a tan on my phone that's been open for more than a year now. Truly - thank you for the vid and calculator.
Thank you for your observations - I will add them

Re: A long long video on building feedback amplifiers
Terminations as farhan says is important!
Also Rf (feedback resistors) vs bias...
Sometimes that resistor can be juggled to be the bias value.? Often
its too low for that so series resistance

Re: A long long video on building feedback amplifiers
Andy,
It is a pleasant surprise that you sat through it all!
These amplifiers need 'strong' terminations at both ends. If two amps
cascade, this is usually lost. A trick is to add a 6dB attenuator

Re: A long long video on building feedback amplifiers
Farhan - it's still an excellent video and calculator - thank you!
Are there any rules of thumb about selecting the isolation resistor for the power input? I've seen from 10 to 220 Ohms. Is it

Would the keyer ever be able to handle the Ultimatic Mode rather than Iambic Mode. Or will I have to use my external ?keyer if I want the Ultimatic Mode?

We’ve got three instances of destroyed radios in our local group alone. Connectors are nice, but that doesn’t stop people from putting clips on storage batteries backwards.

Yes, I see how that will work. But for a QRP rig such as sBitx one certainly doesn’t really need such a big bundle of connectors to carry the load. I understand that it is simply for making the

Re: Max pwr on sbitx v3
Bruce,
Each unit is individually tested and calibrated with it's own values in the hw_settings file. That said, there is usually very minor deviation from the values in a given batch.
