Re: SUCCESS, uBITX pop reduction with ONE added component
John, where you show the resistor from C51 to ground in the picture should have no effect.? According to the schematic AND my measurements, that side of C51 is already grounded through M1 on the

Re: Help! I think I may have just ruined my 9 year old's Chanukah
A very good question.
I assume this was a boost converter (not buck) on a 12v supply, boosting voltage to the IRF510.
If the main Bitx40v3 board saw more than 12v, then likely had some flash, pop and

Re: Pelican cases
Can anyone confirm whether any of the HF cases have the ledge for a panel kit?
If not, how do you add a panel to these?
I have a Pelican 1520 with a panel kit added, and I made 1/8¡± aluminum

Re: CW Key/Keyer/paddle idea
Blindly mixing 5v and 3.3v devices like your Nano and LCD and Si5351 may work.
Or may not.
Might even destroy something.
I'd definitely follow Rod's advice and remove the pullups on any 5v i2c

Ashar,
Thanks for the clarification on the CW mode. I too am a CW op and don't
mind using an external keyer to give me all the memories and things as
well. I am assuming that if the straight key

Re: Help! I think I may have just ruined my 9 year old's Chanukah
One additional question:
Did you connect the buck converter only to the PA power lines or to the whole BITX40?

Re: Cw only
If you are fine with a straight key or with an external keyer of some sort,
then it should be quick to modify the sketch to remove the internal keyer and use?

Re: Pelican cases
I just ordered two. If they turn out to be of decent construction, I will get a couple in a larger size for my CERT radio kits. Nice find on the coupon!

Re: CW Key/Keyer/paddle idea
Well, the Nano takes 5V so that has to be floating around somewhere and most LCD's are 5V devices. (Many TFT are 3.3V.)

Re: CW Key/Keyer/paddle idea
Please be aware that those I2C adapters pull the I2C lines up to +5. If you have 3.3v I2C devices in the system, like SI570, and others, then the +5 I2C exceeds their specs.
