Re: reviving my sbitx v3
Evan, doing a once over before setting the PA bias, I noticed that I am getting excessive heating of D30, D31 upon Tx. I still have output from the finals. It could be heating elsewhere as well, but

Re: Chirpy audio in ubitx6.1

I tried both mods.
Not much improvements in audio quality.
I observed 59++ signals doing good with little distortion. Signals below 58 are heavily distorted.
I have some small TDA2822 and LM 1875 amp

Hello Praba,
Two possible mods might help:
1 - Add a 10uF capacitor across C75.? If electrolytic, the + goes to pin 1. (see 9.2.2 in the datasheet)

Re: reviving my sbitx v3
Makes sense. It does seem rather touchy and the effect on signal strength of the received signal is more like an on/off switch than a range, like you might expect. Anyway, it works and I am now

Re: reviving my sbitx v3
To be clear, both the receiver and the transmitter use that mixer.? It translates the signal from the 40MHz IF frequency to the operating frequency in both directions.

Re: reviving my sbitx v3
I figured it had something to do with the reception, as when I first turned it back on and the receiver appeared to be "deaf", but yes, right around the halfway point it picked up again. I appreciate

Re: reviving my sbitx v3
Glad you fixed it!? The other pot is used to adjust the "bias" for the mixer:
The adjustment does not seem critical.? I would set it to the midpoint and verify that the receiver is sensitive and

The mic element I am using was the one that came in the uBitx v3 kit.
