Version Control
As the "Flutter Fix" topic seems to be getting pretty wide, I thought it would be good to focus a little more closely on the version control issue. Here's a sample of the header block I use on my

Re: CW or not to CW?
It would work. ?And might be ok at 5W QRP power levels. ?If the SSB transmitter perfect and your code practice oscillator has a perfect sine wave with shaped rise and fall times at the edges of the

Re: CW or not to CW?
I think it would be too much trouble for me to add CW unless someone can figure out what Farhan has provided in the code. And just plug a code practice oscillator into the mic jack. Maybe it is

Re: Flutter Fix
It's working now. It was just that I removed the three tokens at the bottom of that section of code. And Jerry said to remove two, like he has in his snippet, and leave the original one after pasting

Re: weak mic audio output,
One of the things I noticed about my first audio tests, was that I was off frequency. The Raduino needed to be calibrated to offset the zero beat so I wouldn't sound high pitched.? You can easily

Re: Handheld Mic w/ PTT for BITX40
A couple of Quid/Bucks for a CB hand microphone, But a DC blocking cap on the mic lead to it from the BITX-40 and away you go .. It couldn't be any problem easier, All this talk of buying boxes and

Re: Handheld Mic w/ PTT for BITX40
A very long time ago, as a repeater user, I had a bell systems Trimline handset, and with very minor additions to the old HeahKit HW202 2 meter rig, it (the Trimline) worked as a mic, with DTMF pad.

Re: Handheld Mic w/ PTT for BITX40
Yep, as I scrolled down I saw Jack beat me to it. The telephone cord with four wires, and if you're slick you can put in a chassis mount jack. ?You also got a choice of colors and length with phone

Re: Handheld Mic w/ PTT for BITX40
Thanks everyone, I sincerely appreciate the responses! Jack, I hadn't even considered the weight issue- thanks for bringing it up. I think a 4 conductor telephone cord will solve the problem and I'll

Re: weak mic audio output,
There is an inexpensive, amplified adjustable electret mic on Amazon. Not sure if/how it would work. See

Re: Handheld Mic w/ PTT for BITX40
I *just* bought (via eBay) two 'Beofeng' microphones. They were US$2.89 each. One for my Beofeng (hey, it's cheap and works), and one to cut up for little home-brew rigs. One worked perfectly, the

Junk CB radio source for parts
Hi I saw another message about using a mic from a CB radio. There is a lot more that you can use. An old junk CB radio is a great source of parts that you may use on your BITX40

Re: Would someone mind explaining to me how the BFO frequency circuit works?
Are you asking about the BFO in the transmitter circuit? The BFO in the transmitter circuit hetrodynes the 4.9-5.0 MHz single sideband signal with a 12.0 (approx) MHz BFO signal, giving 12+5=17

Re: Handheld Mic w/ PTT for BITX40
I used a mic and jack from an old CB. I replaced the mic element with the element supplied with the BitX. I used the jack from the CB. wrote:

Re: Handheld Mic w/ PTT for BITX40
I like a coiled cord, too. However, unlike my base transceiver, when the rig weighs about a pound and I turn around mid-QSO to answer the phone only to see my B40 whiz by my head because of the

Re: Handheld Mic w/ PTT for BITX40
Hey Ryan,? I took one of my old Yaesu HT speaker mics, and rewired it for the BITX40,? It has a Electret?mic element in it already, and a PTT.? I see on amazon.com you can pic up a speaker mic for

Re: Would someone mind explaining to me how the BFO frequency circuit works?
It's all working at about 11.998500mhz. ? Q10 is the oscillator and has some high impedance nodes on the left hand side, poking at it around the base or L5 may either disturb the oscillator or show
By Jerry Gaffke · #22478 ·
Re: Would someone mind explaining to me how the BFO frequency circuit works?
Q10 is the xtal oscillator with L & C in series, to pull the xtal down a bit to suit LSB. If you can generate a second frequency from the Si then you can remove Q10 and use Q11 to buffer it to the

Re: Would someone mind explaining to me how the BFO frequency circuit works?
Also when I measure at L5 I was getting ~12MHz on my counter and when I measure at base of Q10 I was getting ~6Mhz.

Re: Would someone mind explaining to me how the BFO frequency circuit works?
I was wondering more about what the purpose of Q10 and Q11 serve. What I'm trying to do is take an output from SI5351 and replace the entire BFO circuit so I can easily switch between LSB and USB via
