Re: Bitx40 review (video)
The blue RV1 is the bias set for the IRF. The drive is set by the preset R136 before the driver transistor.

Re: Damage to SMT version bitx40 from nearby transmitter
Thomas,
I would recommend you do both. The diodes may not take the all power from your other antenna.
Yes the two diodes in parallel are connected between pin 12 of k1 and ground. Both diodes should

Re: Bitx40 review (video)
Another nice video Peter.? Thanks.?? In your comment on the pot in the RF amp stage, I think you made the same mistake that I did: assuming that that pot was for setting the IRF-510 bias (as was

Raj,
Thank you for the response. You confirm my fear that the danger of damage is real and present.
I am very much a beginner at this sort of work. I have excellent mechanical and soldering skills,

Re: Damage to SMT version bitx40 from nearby transmitter
Thomas,
At pin 12 of K1 relay solder 2 4148 diodes in parallel but in opposite polarity. This will limit the receiver from getting high RF voltage.
Also if you cut the track between K1 pin 12 and

Re: Bitx 40 board.
Not really.
I would guess the confusion arises because there are two different inversions happening. The first is what you experienced with the DDS -- the frequency span is the same but TUNING is

Damage to SMT version bitx40 from nearby transmitter
How likely is this to happen? Bitx40 connected to 40M resonant antenna perpendicular to another antenna with a 100W transceiver running a Winlink gateway.
I fully expect front-end overload and nasty

Pop in speaker on key-up
Just to the controls hooked up...for testing. Upon key up I get a loud "pop" in the speaker.
I searched the group and didn't see this issue.
Ideas??

Re: Bitx 40 board.
Hi John
I had a chance to try some testing with sideband inversion.
BFO = 11.9986 MHZ and VFO = 4.8486 MHZ this gives me a starting frequency
of 7.15 MHZ(RF = BFO - VFO). Set the encoder to increase

On W5KUB (facebook) there is also the sketch. Not sure if attaching to this mail is the way to go.
