Re: Yeah! No!
I received some parts in the mail tonight. A package of (25) T37-6 toroid
cores and 32AWG wire. I wound up 45 turns on the coil, soldered it in, and
it now seems to pass inspection according to the

Re: A more stable Bitx40 (fun with ceramic resonators)
You'd have to pull it pretty far to get it into the US 40m phone band 12.000 - 4.915 = 7.085 MHz.

Thanks Thomas.
What about dipping the toroid in candle wax?

Re: BPF's
MEK will rot your liver in short order without good ventilation.
I like a fine drizzle of hot-melt glue, followed by judicious use of a hot air resolder nozzle to melt and spread the glue. Look for

Looks like Mouser has a 4.8mhz Ceramic Resonator, which would put it at 7200khz.

Re: BPF's
Why not use coil dope? The commercial stuff isn't cheap, but it's just polystyrene dissolved in MEK, so not hard to make.

BPF's
I am building up my own external BPF's for 80/40/20. I need to coat the
windings to hold them in place. Can I use a spray clear coat? Will it
affect the inductance?

Re: A more stable Bitx40 (fun with ceramic resonators)
The usual suspects: Mouser, Digikey, Farnell, and Jameco.

Microwave that tap washer alongside a glass of water.
A microwave oven needs something to absorb all that energy.
I once tried microwaving half the recommended amount of popcorn.

Re: tuning step size for the SI5351 / Radunio version
It could definitely be annoying if the tuning rate isn't set to your preferences. I used symbolic constants (e.g., #define INCREMENT) to set the increment and the time delay in the code before the

Re: tuning step size for the SI5351 / Radunio version
The encoder with variable increment step could be made to work well.
On the other hand, I have a Tecsun consumer radio that does that and it annoys me no end
how it more or less arbitrarily flips

See my earlier post (19785Re: [BITX20] tuning step size) on the 26th about using the spin rate of the encoder?shaft to automatically change the increment step.
