Re: uBITX v6 Low Audio Update 11-23-24
Hi Richard,
Yes, those readings at TP21 are good.? The problem is not with RX muting when not transmitting.
The v6 uBiTx schematic is

Re: uBITX v6 Low Audio Update 11-23-24
Tried again this morning, this time on the correct TP, TP21. I have 53.6K on RX, 2.1 ohm on TX. So according to what you (Evan) said, that's right. Everything is right so far, but I have weak audio.

?Bitx concept as a pure receiver
Can the concept of the ?Bitx be used with the SIS5351 as a
solo receiver.
I would like to build a receiver based on this concept. Either with 12MHZ or with 11Mhz crystals I have for both

Re: zBITX
Well, I wouldnt wager on that. Though, getting a display to survive a drop
test will be tough. The rest of electronics will take knocks and bumps with
ease.

Re: zBITX
2. Are you planning 'Drop Tests' as they do it for mobile phones?
5 V operation from a power bank would be an excellent idea.

Re: zBITX
Zero has more than ample power to run all the core modems and more.
I would also add to the list, my own desireables:
1. 5v operation from a power bank
2. Ability to withstand knocks and drops.
3. Low

Re: zBITX
A Zero might be too constrained. Better a B model - or a carrier board to support the compute modules - which might afford upgradability?

I just checked their webpage. Apparently the only support they offer is this forum here on [email protected].

I do not know about HFSignals support.? I would try again.? They have had server issues in the past.

Re: uBITX v6 Low Audio Update 11-22-24
Thanks Evan. I will measure resistance at TP21 and report. I do notice I have good volume (sidetone volume) in TX. Too much actually.
BTW, I sent a note to support@.... It bounced. Know

Re: uBITX v6 Low Audio Update 11-22-24
Richard,
I apologize.? It is my turn for a typo.? The resistance measurement to ground is at TP21.? Q74 acts as a switch that grounds TP21 to mute the audio when transmitting.

Sorry to be "that guy", but the RPi can only use a USB3-connected SATA SSD, the RPi 5 has on-board PCIe interface that supports NVMe SSD.
Some people confuse the form factor of the SSD, m.2, with one
