Re: Multiband bitx G6LBQ links
The original files for the G6LBQ rig are in our files section. Note that the original VFO used a Si570 chip, not a Si5351A. john AD5YE

Re: Multiband bitx
One thing that the $59 bitx40 can do is give you a reason to tinker and learn if so inclined. Most of us would not consider popping the lid off an Icom IC-7851, let alone go at it with a soldering

Re: Multiband bitx
Nothing wrong with separate Rx and Tx, my secret passion and love for awhile. If you aim for CW you can even build a separate electronic TR switch like the "Magic Box" (kit discontinued) or the

Re: Bitx40 mods
I'd certainly recommend adding the cap to suppress ?the 2'd harmonic, especially if going QRO somehow. ?A 100pf cap is a very cheap and easy fix. Though as Don Cantrell notes, the stock bitx40v3 is

What about the G6LBQ multiband bitx? That design looks pretty cool. The bandchanging looks really efficient. 73 de Chas ai4ot Sent from my iPhone

Re: Bitx40 mods
From your link, it appears that there's a plan to include the 2nd harmonic fix in the build from hfsigs. Any idea if or when that will happen? Apologies if I missed something.

Re: Multiband bitx
What about using something like SDRPlay's RSP1 as RX for anything you'd like to listen to, then build or modify BitXs to TX on whatever bands and modes you'd like? Kinda old school to consider

Re: Multiband bitx
The two bandpass toroid kits are using larger toroids, either for higher transmit power or for better linearity on receive to ignore very strong nearby signals. That helps explain the higher price,

Re: Bitx40 mods
IMHO there are two mods that are required, everything else is just added functionality.?You need to add a capacitor to limit 2nd harmonic emissions, and a couple of diodes to protect a transistor.?
