Re: Current limit for PA
"My vote would be to have a current sense for the final in the next rev of the main board."
Well...I don' know, Jerry. Consider the size of the TP-42, or any current shunt capable of over

Re: Current limit for PA
This would work. The idea of a current limit is a good one.
However, in the BITX40 it would have to be on a separate board with additional
wiring. That opens up the problems of ground loops and

Good evening, friends.I found at www: Ozqrp.com. A DDS Si5351A-B-GT clock generator, with an interesting OPTIONAL ATTENUATOR LOW PASS FILTER BOARD. This could be the solution to the carrier problem at

Re: bitx40 display flashes and audio clicks when powered on.
John, you are absolutely right in How/when it happens. as for RV1 mine was
cranked almost all the way up (turned almost all the way counter-clockwise)

Re: bitx40 display flashes and audio clicks when powered on.
True, Jerry.
He turns on power, the rig clicks and turns off, and after REMOVING the PA power, RX is ok when power is applied.
This is almost certainly the output transistor going into avalanche.

Current limit for PA
Hello all,
Has anyone thought about implementing something like this to protect the
IRF510? I am still waiting on a reply from the post office, to see where
mine is. It looks promising, especially

Re: VFO to DDS Conversion steps
I just lifted one of the L4 connections to the board and left it in place all be it not connected to the circuit at on end of the inductor. DDS works fine with no known issues.

Re: bitx40 display flashes and audio clicks when powered on.
Near as I can tell, he never hits the PTT switch to transmit. ?And the IRF510 is still heating up.
I did tell him that the gate to the IRF510 should be zero volts during receive. ? If it isn't then

Re: bitx40 display flashes and audio clicks when powered on.
Guys thanks for all the input. I'm going to be doing some more

some irf510's just I case but I am highly suspecting that is

Re: Calibration
Mine at first was off by 1 in the digit furthest to the right. Used it like that for a week then tried the recal process and it worked fine. Havnt had to adjust it since. This is on stock sketch.

Re: bitx40 display flashes and audio clicks when powered on.
Regarding the IRF510:
There is no power on the gate on RX, but there is power on the drain, whether the connected
PA is to the to the Vcc source or another power source (though it is possible to have

The blink program used to be (and still is) a separate program.

Re: VFO waveform problem
My issue is that the waveform is not a nice sine - so i hear all sorts of
signals on different frequencies (I dont have a freq counter, so I rely on
my big rig to determine the freq.)

Re: Calibration Opps...forgot...
Imeant to change this line as it is hard to read:
?? ? ?cal = (cal * 10000000l) / frequency;
Is it 10MHz, or 100.000001MHz? A good rule: When you use a type qualifier, make it uppercase:
