Re: Powering the BitX40 for portable use: votlages and battery chemistry
Wonder how well, or how long, it would run on four 18650 batteries?

Re: LED for XMIT indication
Thank you for the compliments
Yes gave Farhan a few for his experiments HI !
OK will work out a way to send to thru any one visiting VK land
Which part of VK do you live in
Tnx 73

Re: BITX double OLED display
Hi Slim, I liked your oLed display. Did you developed it (the routine for
VU meter, etc), or got it ready ? Do the arduino control this graphic
display too ?
Thanks and 73

Frank,
There are a number of different cells in the lithium family. Each has different voltage ranges and reactions to abuse.
What most of the public call "Li-on" is the lithium cobalt

BITX160 ? What has to be changed ?
So working on converting a bitx40 to 160m . Why? Why not ? I have a 160 m inverted vee and qrp on 160 would be a good challenge for sure. I have already modified the Vfo and bypassed the receive input

Re: the arrival
Yeah, mine shipped also. I had no doubts, I just figured they were busy.

Slim, looks great,
I am using a similar display (only singular) and have also put in an S-meter, but I get terrible ¡°clicking¡± from the display when it updates, I find the display is injecting

I managed to blow my final by adjusting the pace bias to high past the 100ma. Lesson learned to slowly adjust

Re: It stopped transmitting
On the contrary.
These are voltage devices, not current devices. If you put enough voltage on the gate, it will go into avalanche mode and destroy the device within milliseconds. Always start with

Re: It stopped transmitting
Yes, you monitor current into the final when setting the IRF510's bias. Ashhar's "Wire Up" notes suggest setting the bias for 100ma. Just be aware that (as I read the datasheet) the current goes

Re: Si5351 VFO - Low Pass?
Spurious responses caused by the odd-order harmonics inherent in a square-wave local oscillator are relatively easy to eliminate with front-end filtering. What is much more difficult to eliminate is

Whether a LPF at the VFO frequency lowers your noise level may or may not be noticeable, however the Si5351 outputs Square waves that are inherently high in harmonic energy which is why you need a

Re: It stopped transmitting
Indeed.
From fig 1 on page 3 of the Vishay datasheet, the IRF510 might have a drain current of around 10 Amps at a Vgs of 5 Volts. That's sucking 10*12 = 120 Watts from a 12 Volt supply, and all
