Re: A few questions about BitX40
Our club is building the Easy Digi boards as a group project. There is a particular cable that the seller especially recommends - no he isn't selling them himself, but apparently they are the ones he

Re: A few questions about BitX40
Like John stated, the "Easy Digi" kit works fine, I have one, I love it, I
also have the signalink.
I don't know your electronics background, I would suggest, Read the "Easy

Re: PC not seeingvthe Rafuino.
If you go to ports on ide menu does it show a list ?? Arduino? clones don't automatically come up in the menu so you have to select a port from the list that it's connected to.
To find which one,

Hi guys , I've got the Arduino IDE software on my PC, That seems to work fine as I can input sketches etc into my Arduino UNO ...But the Raduino Nano doesn't register, When I plug it into the PC the

Re: A few questions about BitX40
As for straight forward, beware of ground loops, you want star topology, not daisy chain.. You only want one grounding path between equipment. Directly connecting your computer causes a second

A few questions about BitX40
Hi folks.
I just got my license last weekend so I've ordered a BitX40 kit as my first
foray into amateur HF. Probably not the ideal starting point but it's all I
can afford at the moment.
So I have

Re: Rarduino WAY off Freq ... there is more
The Si5351 library may assume it is the only i2c master, and thus ok to drive the SCL clock both high and low. ?So might be safer to short SDA at Nano pin 8 to ground, or find some way to halt the

Re: Rarduino WAY off Freq ... there is more
I don't know of anything inside the Si5351 that might cause a pause every 38ms like that. ?Could be the Nano is off the rails, and continuously reprogramming the Si5351. ?Look at pins 8 and 9 of the

Re: Rarduino WAY off Freq ... there is more
Hi all,
my Bitx40 is good with analogue VFO. Now, I'm finding more curious things with the Raduino's Si5351. When I was looking at the waveform, noticed some intermittent glitches at the bottom part.

Re: interference from SW broadcasters above 7200
Jerry I measured it this morning!
500Hz shift in VFO produces a shift of 2500 Hz in the birdie!
As the frequency shifts even more the birdie goes way beyond the 3KHz limit as I would imagine. Guess

Re: Watch the birdie
You have to calculate with 11.9985 Mhz and not 12!

Re: interference from SW broadcasters above 7200
Eighth harmonic of the 12mhz BFO is at 96mhz, which is the fifth harmonic of a VFO at 19.2mhz. ?So the we might still have a faint birdie at 19.2 - 12 = (drum roll) 7.2mhz.?

Re: Watch the birdie
Try shortening the length of the wire going from the vfo to the board, and also make sure to put some decoupling capacitors on the power supply to the vfo (raduino etc). I added a some decoupling caps

Re: interference from SW broadcasters above 7200
Another fix would be to move the VFO from 5mhz to 19mhz, then adjust the BFO down 3khz by adding capacitance at C103 (assuming you still want lower sideband operation). ?If that's confusing, then

Re: Red led for TX indication - where?
My BITX40 board has 2 Virtual VRS2H-S-12VDC relays.
These are Form 2C relays. However, they are somewhat unlike most Form 2 relays that I am familiar with.
Most of the Form 2 relays that I know have

There are a number of BitX 20 kits available but you need to build them yourself. The BitX40 semi kit that is being sold by HFSIGS should be modifyable to 20 meters but I have not seen any details yet
