Re: Usb sound card.
I previously made the FLDGI CW keying circuit, and it works great. But better than that is using the rig controls for serial port PTT. Tests with the relay module and the Usb to serial adapter

Re: BITX40 package size
You're probably right. So Matt's TX rail probably never saw power during the mishap, and none of those parts behind it got damaged. We're assuming it was a battery lead reversal that blew D7.

Re: BITX40 package size
The relays are polarized type, they have a magnet inside to reduce operating current. They wont operate with reversed voltage.

Re: Calling West Coast BITX operators
I had a QSO with Don ND6T in California about half an hour early... my first one with someone using a BITX40! I'm still waiting for my BITX40, so I was running 100W. Don was fairly weak... about 43. I

Re: BITX40 package size
Reverse polarity protection is a must. I have always put a diode in my designs. Does not cost much. First thing I did before powering up the BITX40! Raj

After weeks of trying I finally had some success! First QSO with Rick WB0NPM then Don ND6T. I also hear a few others but can't make them out. Rick mentioned an early net 8AM on 7186, may give that a

Re: Usb sound card.
I had one that looked similar to your Ebay post and it didn't have any isolation between the computer ground and the audio in and out ground. I did the VOX interface as well. I intend my Bitx to be

Re: Usb sound card.
I have worked with a lot of cheapy ones from aliexpress they wont have any isolation. I use a vox interface just for that. It does add more cables to the mess but it works. Gl 73 David N8DAH

Usb sound card.
Does anyone know if those cheap Usb sound card adapters offer any isolation between PC and radio? I plan to try out these things with my isolated interface for digital modes. The plan is to use an Usb

It were noisy. I, too, was late to the party - around 7:45 CDT. I caught two:? KG5KYJ - SIG 58 or so, BitX to BitX QSO! about 00:45 GMT KF4WBJ - SIG 54 - could be incorrect, but I *think* that was

Re: BITX40 package size
OK, that last post does overstate it a bit. Dropout through an LM2940* is not zero, it's around 0.130mv at the 150ma draw of the Bitx40 (excluding the IRF510) With schottky power diodes, drop through

Re: BITX40 package size
With the bridge rectifier, you have two unnecessary diode drops. ?So a 12v battery might only deliver 10.5 volts or so to the rig. The diode and fuse trick avoids the voltage drop, but is a rather
