Re: Hendrix Bit-x 20
Thanks for reply all.
I have the equivalent drive level resistor. ?The procedure call for pre setting the IRF 510s to 50 ma each, and then adjusting the drive level pot until the increase in voltage

Here is my solution to the PTT Mute and the addition of a Linear Amp keying circuit.
I just dead bugged the H11AV1 Opto coupler on top of the LM386 to make the connections

Re: Pop mute
p.s. no extra bits really needed for my unit, transistors just what was to hand (scrapped from a PC PSU). If Ted has put in extra caps it would likely be to keep it muting a few milliseconds after PTT

Hi Ted and all ... back from having my tea ... that V3 circuit is my choice, *BUT* connect to pin 3 (across the input instead of pin 7. Pops all gone, PTT press *and* release!

This is the version I used. I see when I have another look it is version3 anyway it seems to work for me. circuit as below.

Re: I7SWX PTT Pop Mute
Hi Dexter,?
Which version of Gian's schematic were you changing? My add-in board with his mod is currently at "Trial 5."
Whatever you suggest, I will try tomorrow after work. I want to remove this

Re: I7SWX PTT Pop Mute
Hi Jonathan
Read later entries here - search on Gian's call or "PTT". My contribution: Gian's circuit except wire to pin 7 goes to pin 3. Try it, you'll like it.

Re: I7SWX PTT Pop Mute
Buonasera Gian,
I did not have any luck with this mod. While I tried the previous versions as well, the clicks remain throughout testing.
I did get the LM386 to mute properly by using a modified

Re: Hendrix Bit-x 20
R136 is "drive level". Over-driving can produce distortion at the driver stage (cause of "barely intelligible audio", likely mistaken as FMing?), and if it continues can burn out the driver's emitter

Re: Hendrix Bit-x 20
I had similar audio reports on a BITX40 kit.? What I believe fixed the problem was to adjust R136.? If you can find the comparable variable resistor on your kit, it may help.
It is at the base of

A 1206 surface mount resistor like that is typically rated for 1/4 watt. ?Might seem high, as a 1/4 watt axial lead resistor is considerably larger. ?But the 1206 can can better dump heat into the
