Re: ?Bitx concept as a pure receiver
The idea is to have connectors at certain places where you can experiment

It would be fun to try different circuits and combinations and see what
works

Re: uBITX v6 Low Audio Update 11-23-24
I thought I posted this yesterday, but don't see it.? Apologies if this is a duplicate.
It appears (to me) that the way K3 is drawn in the schematic is misleading.? Shouldn't M2 and M3 be connected

Re: ?Bitx concept as a pure receiver
Hello Bernd,
I took the uBitx V6 schematics and crossed out all parts, that are not required for a receiver, to give you an idea on the complexity reduction.

1602 displays are much cheaper although you do not have refinements such as

Re: ?Bitx concept as a pure receiver
We can use Ian Lee's firmware for 1602 Display or Nextion Display .
There are other firmwares but I have not tried any of them as yet .

The fact that the SIDETONE is loud -- is a clue. Look and see where it

Have you tried replaceing the volume pot.... sure seems like its something
close in there where you are poking it around, and a major symptom seen to
be an inntermitant thing like a loose connection

Hi Richard,
If the dial frequency is off, then do the full calibration steps in the video

This will also help with receiver sensitivity.

Re: ?Bitx concept as a pure receiver
Hello
The version whether 3.0 or 6.0 would be the same to me.
The frequency of the 2nd IF was changed once and the AF part.
I would definitely try this
as a double super with two conversions to

Hi Richard,
Have you checked your antenna cables?? ?It could be you have an intermittent connection on the BNC cable.? Try wiggling the BNC connection.
