Re: No BFO Adjustment

I wound a 37-6 with fifty turns as per the calculator, worse. I shorted the crystal and found I had moved lower to 6190. from the 8200. But still had the 135 KC tunable range with the crystal

Re: No BFO Adjustment

That indicates that your BFO oscillator should be tunable. Next step would
be to check capacitor and inductor values to make it tune across the crystal
frequency. You can change the

Re: No BFO Adjustment
The crystal brand is KDS. I took your advice Arv and shorted the crystal out and the frequency tuned from 8104. MHz to 8239. Mhz 105 KC range. But way lower than the 9995. Mhz area. Jerry K5LRU

The LC network in series with the crystal (including series-C of the two
feedback divider caps) needs to tune to the crystal frequency. Tuning
this resonant network a bit above to a bit

This is a Bitx20 Version 3. I'm almost done with it. The receiver receives good, the VFO bandwidth is between 14,000. and 14,450. The exciter produces a signal of 500mv and the PA kicks that up to

Re: More Power Out From Bitx 20/3?
Why can't you take the 12.6 volts supply for the 20a and at about 10 watts out the current draw is about 2 amps. Subtract about 300mas no mod current and you get 12.6 x 1.7 = 21.42 watts. If you

This sometimes confuses me as well.
It seems that the key is in impedance relative to voltage and current. If
we lower the impedance the current will increase and voltage will

I think that it may take more than just increasing voltage to the output
MOSFET. If you change the voltage the current will change and impedances
involved will change. That would seem to

More Power Out From Bitx 20/3?
Bitx is built and seems to be working o.k. on 20M,running on external 13v supply. If i increased the voltage on the pa transistor only to say 25v would we see much of an increase in power?

inductor for digital Bitx20a v1.3
I'm putting together the frequency counter/digital dial for my Bitx20a
V1.3. In the BOM L1 is 4k7 uhy, the one that came with my kit has 2R7 on it. Is this OK our should I get the right one.

45 to 50 mv is the best level. If using a signal generator input you will
need to disconnect R-92 so that it is not trying to pull your signal
generator output to +12 volts.

The schematic for the board is in the files section under "Modifications".
Also a nice AGC circuit (which is incorporated into the smd BITX v.4).

Re: BitX20 Additional PCB
I think you're right. It probably is an S meter board.
I've never looked at the S meter on a rig. when I give a report it's always as I hear it. I find the S meter varies with AGC gain etc. Nothing
