Re: Output Power is less than 3W
what are you using to supply power what is the current draw when transmitting. Have you looked on the wire-up section of hfsigs.com to make sure everything is biased correctly. Let's save a hundred

Re: Output Power is less than 3W
Dear Unni, Please check IRF510 is drawing more than 1A current, when you speak to the mic. You said already the drive is at Max. Also when you don't speak around 180mA. You can adjust gate bias pot to

Manual RF gain control
Dear OM Farhan, Bitx RX works very good. Only issue when strong signals coming there is no way to attenuate it. I suggest to add a pot, Voltage controlled power supply to RX side of RF Amp(Q1) & IF

Re: Output Power is less than 3W
Let's start with the basics. Power supply voltage and amperage. Type of antenna? Have you tried into a 50 ohm dummy load? All hams should have one. Check into a dummy load and report back.

Re: Baofeng microphone mod for BITX
I tried using the baofeng electret mic, jumping leads to go right to the consensor so the ptt and mic dont share the same ground and if i whistle into the mic it puts power out but not while talking.

Re: Book by Jack and C Questions
Hi Roy: That's sincerely appreciated, Roy, but not necessary. Instead, give an extra dollar to your favorite charity, or the next time you're at a bar, buy a drink and raise a toast to K&R and Farhan.

Re: BITX QSO Night, Sunday, May 7, 9pm Local Time, 7.179 MHz
I agree that we should try to use the best time for propagation.? However noise levels and propagation vary so much, the best strategy for QRP is always going to be jump in when conditions are good.

Re: BITX QSO Night, Sunday, May 7, 9pm Local Time, 7.179 MHz
I think this is a great idea, and I intend to give it a try now and then. But being a QRP activity, we might want to reach for the maximum advantage. Selecting a time near dusk in every time zone

Great, certainly better than nothing! I cringe every time I take my KX2 outside and it might rain... Hopefully I will be able to write the code to drive the DDS module from the keypad... Gil F4WBY.

One person reported that the heat sink was grounded out on the PCB and they had to fix that before the problem was solved. I suggest you check that. The schematic is available on hfsigs.com, so check
