Re: bitx40 display flashes and audio clicks when powered on.
Important!?
Before you install the new PA turn RV1 fully clockwise and do the same with R136, the silver trimmer near the corner on the same side of the board. You might need to have it turned up a

Re: possible good case
I bought a couple of these and I'm putting my BITX40 in one. These are
great with plenty of room. I'll post some photos as soon as I've finished.

Re: bitx40 display flashes and audio clicks when powered on.
Ok, I pulled the IRF510 and hooked up power to PA. The receiver functions just fine now. I went ahead and did some voltage checks while the mosfet was out. Voltages on the board where Gate would be I

Re: possible good case
I ordered the plastic one from Bangood about 2 weeks ago. Not sure when to
expect it.? Sure looks unbeatable for the price.

Re: Current limit for PA

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)
I am going to try and pull the mosfet tonight and

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

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.
However the latest bootloader program has a blink function included.
