Re: Issues
OK, folks - Tuning clicks conquered! Reading back on earlier messages here, it seems the regulator 7805 deserved some attention. I had fed this via 51E to drop a few volts and 'take some heat', and

Re: Bandpass filter
Hi Brent,? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?There are one or two boards already out there that used fixed inductors and are set up for Multiband use. WB6DHW BPF Board springs to mind as it is one I tried. It was

Re: Issues
Dex, Put a 1K to 10K in the brown lead going to the volume control. That should get rid of the hum. It results from LM386 getting unstable. Raj

Re: Bandpass filter
"Standard" inductors have a verly low quality factor, so they are not usable for bpf?s having a narrow bandwidth. In contrast, the Coils Farhan uses carbonbyl cores, for his Coils giving an unloaded

Re: I made a mistake
It's a SMT 1N4148. It can take about 1.5A forward current before overheating and giving up the ghost. It is a cheap and common diode if you have to replace it. If the reversal was short enough, most

Re: I made a mistake
Nothing special, just a 4148 I believe.

Re: I made a mistake
Wow I actually did have the voltage backwards. I was trying out this down converter with 4 18650 batteries and they have the negative out labeled as positive. Does anyone know the specs on that diode?

Re: I made a mistake
D7 is in the VCC line right next to the relay K1. Check your wiring. It seems likely that you applied 12v to the Nano (or reversed the polarity), which probably fried it. If K1 coil is open, then the

I forgot to ground the black wire on the arduino. When I plugged in the power D7 started smoking. I pulled the power grounded the black wire (one next to the brown) then tried again and it started

Greetings, all ... I have replaced my banjaxed raduino. It ran on the original firmware, and I'd applied several fixes to the Bitx40: ?- better biasing for Q16 ?- N2CQR's active filter replacing

Bandpass filter
I'm looking at getting a second bitx to multiband. I know this wouldn't work for the LPF, but I wondered if anyone had considered or tried making band pass filters using standard value miniature

Yes, beware q13 and qro. I just blew it up. Fwiw, an ordinary 2n2222a works quite nicely.
